number of Cs to one. Students with an I (Incomplete) must resolve all incomplete grades
within one term. Students who do not successfully resolve academic probation within one
academic year will be dismissed from the program.
MACS and NSA students within the Department of Multidisciplinary Studies who receive a
second C or an F in an elective course have the option to retake that course or replace it
with a different elective. The Department must be notified of this inclusion/exclusion.
Students with more than one F at any time in the program will no longer be considered in
good standing in the program. These students will be required to meet with the Program
Director/Chair and faculty representatives in order to determine whether the student will
be allowed to continue in the program. The program reserves the right to dismiss such
students from the program.
Students dismissed from the program may petition for readmission after one academic
year. Such students will have their records examined by the program's administration. If
approved, the student will be readmitted to the program at that time. Only those courses
with grades of B or better will be applied toward the degree. Dismissal for violations of
professional, ethical conduct will be final. Students dismissed for such conduct will not be
considered for readmission to the program.
Code of Student Conduct Statement
The university is a community of scholars in which the ideals of freedom of inquiry,
freedom of thought, freedom of expression, and freedom of the individual are sustained.
However, the exercise and preservation of these freedoms and rights require a respect
for the rights of all in the community to enjoy them to the same extent. It is clear that in
a community of learning, willful disruption of the educational process, destruction of
property, and interference with the orderly process of the University as defined by the
University administration or with the rights of other members of the University cannot be
tolerated. Students enrolling in the University assume an obligation to conduct
themselves in a manner compatible with the University’s function as an educational
institution. To fulfill its functions of imparting and gaining knowledge, the University
retains the power to maintain order within the University and to exclude those who are
disruptive to the educational process.
In support of the Code of Student Conduct, any violations of the Code of Student
Conduct and Academic Responsibility and/or university policies and procedures may
result in disciplinary action and/or criminal prosecution. Violations of academic and/or
supplementary standards will be handled through the student’s academic college, center,
or school. Violations of conduct standards, supplementary standards, university policies,
and/or procedures will be handled by the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs or by the
individual academic college, center, or school as deemed appropriate.
Changes to the Code of Student Conduct and Academic Responsibility will be posted on
the Student Affairs Web site. Students are required to be familiar with the rules, policies,
and Code of Student Conduct and Academic Responsibility.
