Narrative:
The bulk of the university requirements related to calendars, grading policies, payment and refunds appears in easily accessible places both for the university community and the public. (See list below.) Policies can be found both online and, in many cases, in hard copy. These policies appear in our Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs, Semester Registration Guides, and various university web links. Topics covered are appropriate to the level of the student (undergraduate or graduate) and detail, among other things, the university grading and refund policies.
The university produces three supplementary editions — called the Registration Guides [1] — of the Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs relative to the specifics of registration for each academic semester in the year (fall, spring, and summer semesters). These documents contain semester-specific information including, but not limited to, the academic calendar, registration and fee payment dates, policies and procedures for withdrawal or cancellation, student privacy rights under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and refund of fees.
