Students must assume full responsibility for knowledge of the policies, rules, and regulations of the College of Education and the university as well as the departmental requirements concerning their individual programs.
It is the responsibility of the students to become knowledgeable of and to observe all regulations and procedures required by the program being pursued. In no case will a regulation be waived or an exception granted because a student pleads ignorance of the regulation or asserts that an adviser or other university authority did not inform the individual of a specific requirement. Each student should become especially familiar with the chapters of this catalog that present the academic requirements for the degree being sought, the offerings and requirements of the students' major department, and any changes published in the online Schedule of Classes each academic term.
While the provisions set forth in this catalog will ordinarily be applied as stated, Georgia State University and the College of Education have the right to change any provision, including but not limited to academic requirements for graduation, without actual notice to individual students. Every effort will be made to keep students advised of any such changes. Information on changes will be available in the Office of the Dean and Office of Academic Assistance and Graduate Admissions when changes are made by the College of Education. It is especially important that each student note that it is the individual student's responsibility to keep apprised of current graduation requirements for his or her particular degree program.
The College of Education is committed to upholding standards of academic and professional integrity. These standards require that students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs within the College of Education adhere to both the University's Student Code of Conduct as described on-line at www2.gsu.edu/~wwwdos/ as well as their individual degree program's Policy on Student Professionalism, Integrity and Retention. Students should contact their department for a copy of their degree program's policy.
