Radford University Undergraduate Catalog, 2011-2012

RU Express Card
Students may use their university I.D. card
as a debit card (the RU Express card) by making
an initial deposit of at least $25 in their card’s
account. Purchases made with the card are limited
to the card’s current balance, which can be
increased by additional deposits and which declines
with each purchase made with the card.
The current balance is displayed after each
transaction.
The RU Express card offers several types
of accounts: Any meal plan account, the Food
Dollars account, the Food Dollars Plus account
and the RU Express account. The latter enables
students to make purchases at a wide variety of
campus locations, including the bookstore, food
court, and vending and laundry machines and at
a number of off-campus businesses.
More information is available by contacting
the I.D./RU Express Office at ru-exprs@

CODES AND POLICIES
Boarding Policy
Radford University believes that an important
part of a student’s education is achieved
within the group-living atmosphere maintained
41
in its residence halls. The university therefore
requires undergraduate students taking nine or
more credit hours to live in a university residence
hall as outlined by the Boarding Policy in
the Standards of Student Conduct.
Student Conduct
All students are expected to become familiar
with the contents of the Standards of Student
Conduct and are responsible for acting in accordance
with the policies contained therein. Students
who do not receive a copy of the Standards
of Student Conduct at orientation, registration,
or in the residence hall may obtain a copy at the
Dean of Students Office or view the document
online at http://www.radford.edu/~dos-web/.
Registration of Criminal Record
It is prohibited conduct to fail to report federal
or state probation, felony criminal charges
taken under advisement, or conviction of a felony
to the Dean of Students Office within 15
university business days following registration
or the date the action was taken. Please contact
the Dean of Students Office if clarification is
necessary.
INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION
Radford University is committed to providing
a world class program of global engagement.
International and intercultural learning
and experience are central components to a
high quality undergraduate and graduate experience.
Radford University encourages international
learning and experience in the strongest
terms. This focus stems directly from the
Radford University 7-17 Strategic Plan and is
manifest in a variety of programs, e.g., the Radford
University core curriculum, study abroad
(long and short term), student exchanges (graduate
and undergraduate), international student
exchanges (graduate and undergraduate), and
memos of understanding with institutions outside
the United States offering opportunities for
exchanges.
Students are strongly encouraged to meet
with their advisors soon after arrival on campus
and to begin a conversation about global
