Responsibility & Integrity

Student Responsibility for Completion of Requirements

In advising and registering students, faculty advisors, Vice President of Academic Affairs, and the Registrar try to prevent errors. The student is expected to remember that graduation and teacher certification are attained according to the University catalog and is expected to study the requirements as set forth and to register in accordance therewith. In registering, the student is to follow the procedures as prescribed by the Registrar. Ultimately, each student is responsible for meeting graduation requirements.
