UNIVERSITY REGULATIONS
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
Students are personally responsible for completing
all requirements established for their degree by
the University, college, and department. ULM course
requirements are under continual examination and
revision. The catalog represents the offerings and
requirements in effect at the time of publication and in no
way guarantees that they will not change. The University
reserves the right to change requirements for any major
during any particular year. The individual student assumes
full responsibility to be informed and to comply with all
academic requirements. A student’s adviser may not
assume these responsibilities and may not substitute,
waive, or exempt any established requirement or
academic standard for the student.
Also, it is necessary in the general administration of
a university to establish broad policies and to lay down
certain regulations and procedures by which they may
be carried out. It is important that a student know and
understand the current policies, standards, regulations,
and procedures one is expected to follow. When changes
are announced between catalog publications, they may
be either published in the University newspaper or posted
on bulletin boards http://www.ulm.edu/. Students may
also be notified of changes in university regulations or
requirements by the respective department or division.
Students are responsible for knowing these changes.
Students’ parents and legal guardians are expected to
use reasonable care and promptness in reviewing University
Policies. A lack of knowledge or understanding of any
policy will not cause such policy to lose force nor effect.
The catalog is presented, merely, as a guide to
enable prospective students and others to learn about
the University of Louisiana at Monroe, and state policies,
requirements, regulations, and procedures in such form as
to direct the student to progress through school.
