SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY AND A&M COLLEGE | Baton Rouge, Louisiana General Regulations • Follows course sequences and prerequisites, as listed in approved department and college curriculum plans, and meets all departmental, Graduate School, and University published guidelines. • Files a properly completed and signed graduation application, in the major department, in the term prior to the term of expected graduation. The application must bear the signatures of the student and his/her assigned advisor. • Ensures that an official record of all transfer credits has been submitted to the Office of the Registrar. All transfer credits are to be submitted to the Office of the Registrar no later than 45 days after the beginning of the term following that in which the credits were earned. STUDENT ACADEMIC GRIEVANCES If a student or faculty member has a grievance which cannot be settled in the ordinary course of immediate post-class discussion, the following procedure is strongly suggested: • A special conference between the faculty member involved and the student, should be arranged under optimum conditions, within ten working days of the occurrence of the alleged problem. • If the matter remains unresolved, it should be brought before the faculty member’s chair, with a summary of the faculty member’s and the student’s positions and a decision should be rendered. The chair should then appoint a departmental grievance committee to review and resolve the matter within ten working days. • If no resolution is possible at this level, the matter should be brought to the Graduate Dean with a summary of the decision rendered by the departmental committee and the chair and dean’s recommendations. The dean will refer it to the Graduate Council. • As a final academic review, the matter may be brought to the Office of Academic Affairs, if it cannot be resolved by the Graduate Council. It must, however, be accompanied by the Graduate Dean and/or council’s recommendation. • The college dean will refer the matter to the Graduate Dean and/or Graduate Council for review and solution. It is suggested that this procedure be used sparingly. When it is necessary to invoke this remedy, every effort should be made to arrive at a mutually acceptable solution and/ or settlement.
