Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3341 - Bowling Green State University › Chapter 3341-2 - Policy Statements › Section 3341-2-15 - Community living standards

Current through all regulations
			 passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Introduction to the community living
			 standards
(1) Living on campus is a big part
			 of your BGSU education. Living away from your family within a diverse community
			 will allow you many opportunities for friendship, fun and personal growth. To
			 foster a positive community environment, we expect each student to be sensitive
			 and respectful of the rights and interests of others, be personally honest and
			 never place another member of the BGSU community in jeopardy or at
			 risk.
(2) Within these standards
			 are the rules and regulations that govern community living at BGSU. You will
			 find everything from what kinds of appliances, lights and decorations you may
			 have in your room to guest and safety policies. If you ever have a question
			 about a policy or procedure, please do not hesitate to contact a residence hall
			 staff member or the office of student housing for assistance. Remember, we put
			 students first.
(3) Showing
			 consideration for others and respect for university and personal property are
			 the basic foundations of community living. The success of a residential
			 community and the learning that takes place in this environment depend on the
			 willingness of residents to accept responsibility for their behavior, decisions
			 and actions as community members. Residents are expected to be aware of how
			 their actions, whether written or spoken words, sounds, or public displays of
			 visual material, may make a person or group feel harassed, intimidated,
			 discriminated against, or in some way create a hostile or unwelcome
			 living/learning environment.

Current
			 through all regulations passed and filed through July 1,
			 2024
(A)
								Policy statement and purpose
This policy describes criteria for
				academic progress (including graduation), in addition to policies for academic
				probation and dismissal.
(B)
								Policy
(1)
									Academic
			 progress
In order to remain in good standing and
				to graduate, a student must make "satisfactory progress toward a degree".
				Academic good standing is defined as:
(a)
										The maintenance
			 of a three point zero grade point average;
(b)
										The maintenance
			 of standards of academic and professional integrity expected in a particular
			 discipline or program;
(c)
										No incomplete grades;
(d)
										The completion of
			 departmental requirements other than course work, such as comprehensive and
			 preliminary examinations, thesis research, or foreign language requirement, by
			 established deadlines; and
(e)
										The absence of
			 current suspensions, probations, or other disciplinary sanctions for violations
			 of the student handbook.
A course taken for graduate credit in
				which a D, F, or WF was received may not be used to meet degree requirements
				nor to meet the minimum credit hour requirements for a graduate degree;
				however, the hours and grade are used to compute the cumulative grade point
				average. If a graduate student repeats a course, each grade received is counted
				in computing the cumulative grade point average. To compute GPA, the total
				number of points (on the 4.0 scale) are divided by the total number of hours
				undertaken for graduate credit, excluding courses in which the marks INC, IP,
				S, U, or W are recorded.

Current through all regulations passed
			 and filed through July 1, 2024

								Policy statement
			 and purpose
This policy describes criteria and
				procedures for background checks.
In April 2011 BGSU approved a
				university-wide policy requiring a background investigation for all newly hired
				or rehired staff including graduate assistants. The purpose of this policy is
				to enhance the safety and security of BGSU students, faculty, staff, and
				others, and to safeguard university property and resources.
The policy is in effect for all
				graduate assistant contracts (stipends) issued after September 1, 2012.
				International students and students enrolled in a program with a pre-approved
				background check policy are exempt.
For graduate assistants with stipends
				who re-hired after a break in employment of twelve months or more from the end
				of the most recent period of employment, a background check will be
				required.
(B)
								Policy
The university has contracted with
				PreTrax, a nation-wide professional firm specializing in background searches
				and investigations, to conduct these checks. The criminal background
				investigation will be performed as part of the hiring process to verify that
				the prospective graduate assistant does not have a pending charge, arrest, or
				criminal record that may make their employment a risk to the university. The
				university is responsible for covering the cost of the background
				check.
(1)
									The basic background check authorized for graduate
			 assistant candidates includes:
(a)
										Social security address verification
(b)

Current through all
			 regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Policy statement and purpose
This policy describes the application process, criteria, and
				privileges associated with graduate faculty status.
(B) Policy
(1) Appointments to the BGSU graduate faculty
The BGSU graduate college grants two major categories of
				graduate faculty status (GFS), provisional and regular status (including three
				levels). In addition, courtesy appointments (adjunct and ad hoc) may be granted
				as appropriate. This document describes each category's privileges, the process
				for application, and the graduate college minimum qualifications needed for
				each category. It also includes guidelines for the required creation of
				academic unit qualifications beyond the graduate college minimum criteria. It
				should be noted that the granting of graduate faculty status is a graduate
				college designation and, though obtaining and maintaining graduate faculty
				status may be an expectation in some units, the review and receipt of graduate
				faculty status is a separate process from tenure, promotion, and workload
				allocation. In keeping with HLC and state policies, faculty who teach and
				supervise doctoral students must possess the terminal degree in the
				field.
GFS application process- graduate faculty status applications
				must be approved by:
(a) The tenuring
			 or hiring unit for TTF and QRF, respectively;
(b) The line college dean; and
(c) The graduate college dean or designate.
Faculty may participate in graduate activities outside of the
				tenuring or hiring unit at the discretion of that unit. Faculty may not
				participate in graduate education without GFS. Retired faculty may retain
				graduate faculty status, if requested by their unit.

				written assignment, a portfolio, a new comprehensive or preliminary
				examination, or another academically appropriate experience. A thesis or

				revalidation experiences.

				or better), then the original course grade will be retained and the student's
				transcript will reflect revalidation. If the revalidation is unsuccessful, then
				no change will be made to the student's record. More than one attempt to
