Academic Policy and Procedures
The graduate catalog is the official record of institutional academic policy relating to graduate students and programs. The catalog contains up-to-date information about institutional officers, program requirements, and academic procedures and regulations such as academic standing, course withdrawal, grade changes, off-campus transfer credit and more.
Some departments and programs also have handbooks that describe academic expectations and procedures. Please request these materials directly from the program/department.

Procedures That Require Forms

Graduate Level Transfer Credit
Students seeking to transfer graduate level credit into their certificate or degree program should consult with their advisor. Advisors complete the Graduate Level Transfer Credit form on the student's behalf to initiate the approval process. Please refer to Transfer of Graduate Credit Policy in the Graduate Catalog for details about what can be transferred.
Student Rights and Responsibilities
The Student Handbook outlines the rights and responsibilities of students. This includes the behavioral expectations of all students and the procedures that will be followed if the code of conduct is violated. In the handbook you'll find the procedures and resources available to you if you've been mistreated, abused or discriminated against. Additionally you'll also see the policies and procedures related to hosting a campus event.
