ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURESAcademic Policies and ProceduresStudent Responsibility StatementThe university is committed to the ideal of flexibility and diversity in theeducational experience. Certain regulatory procedures are necessary, however,to ensure that the complex needs of a large student body in search ofdiverse educational goals are met efficiently and smoothly. Students are advisedto familiarize themselves with the following details in order to avoidany difficulties along their chosen path to the baccalaureate degree.By accepting responsibility for their education, students enhance thedevelopment of their academic, social, and career goals. As a conditionof enrollment, students are responsible for reviewing, understanding,and abiding by the university’s regulations, procedures, requirements, anddeadlines as described in official publications, including the university’sundergraduate catalog, UB Web sites, and official university e-mail communications.In addition, all students are required to positively affirm theirknowledge of, and adherence to, UB’s Student Conduct Rules, UniversityStandards and Administrative Regulations prior to their inaugural semesterat UB. Asserting a lack of knowledge of university regulations will not beaccepted as a basis for an exception to these regulations.Freshman AdmissionMost successful students at the university have come with a strong levelof preparation in basic academic areas. Although the following courses arenot requirements for admission, our experience suggests that applicantsfor regular admission will be adequately prepared for university courses ifthey have had, at the high school level, four years/units of English (witha substantial writing component), four years/units of social studies, threeyears/units of science, three years/units of a second language, and atleast three years/units of college-preparatory mathematics. A number ofstudents who have not completed such a program will be admitted, butthey must realize that additional work in one or more of these areas may benecessary after arrival at the university in order to maximize their chancesfor success in various academic programs.Selection of the freshman class is based upon an examination of threescholastic measures: a cumulative high school average through the junioryear, a three-year percentile rank-in-class, and standardized test scores (SATor ACT). All freshman applicants are required to submit test scores. Allapplicants are encouraged to submit a Part II supplemental application andessay. This information is often invaluable in explaining and amplifying thequantitative measures considered.Each fall semester, a limited number of freshmen may be offeredadmission to the university based upon documented evidence of specialtalents or special circumstances. Exceptional creative talent in art, music,theater, or media study; demonstrated leadership; outstanding athletic ability;and community service are examples of talents that have been reviewedby the Admissions Committee in previous years. Special circumstances thatmay have prevented presentation of competitive credentials will also bereviewed by the committee.Applicants are strongly encouraged to indicate a choice of major onthe application form. This information is used for planning purposes only,since application to a particular academic department as a major generallyoccurs during a student’s sophomore year at the university. The Departmentsof Art and Music, and the Schools of Architecture, Engineering andApplied Sciences, Management, Nursing, and Public Health and HealthProfessions, review credentials at the time of initial application to theuniversity and may offer direct admission to their programs. Musicrequires an audition, and art requires a portfolio in the spring semesterof the freshman year.Applicants seeking entry for a fall term should submit completedapplications as early as possible during the preceding fall. The AdmissionsCommittee begins to review completed applications and supportivecredentials in December and issues notification of decisions shortlythereafter.Early AdmissionExceptional applicants who are completing their junior year in high schoolmay be considered for early admission to the freshman class. Students whoenroll via this option generally have only one or two remaining high schoolrequirements, which they complete as part of their freshman course load atthe university. Information about the admission process and criteria may beobtained from the Office of Admissions.AdmissionEO/AA Employer and RecruiterThe University at Buffalo is an equal opportunity/affirmative actionemployer and recruiter. Students are chosen on the basis of ability withoutregard to race, color, religion, gender, age, national origin, disability,marital or veteran status, or sexual orientation, in accordance with stateand federal law.Undergraduate Catalog 2007-08 • University at BuffaloEarly DecisionEarly decision is an early-application, early-notification program for studentsapplying for freshman admission to the university.
