Academic Policies and Procedures Manual
This online manual is a compilation of USU academic policies and procedures. In the past, such information was not consolidated and could be found only by examining a variety of sources, such as the General Catalog, the Advisor Handbook, the Schedule of Classes, the University Policy Manual, The Code of Policies and Procedures for Students, Executive Memorandums, and minutes of the Educational Policies Committee and the Faculty Senate. This online manual was developed to provide a single source which can be easily used by faculty, staff, and students to answer questions regarding USU's academic policies and procedures. One or more sources are shown at the end of each policy. Since there is no printed version available for this manual, users desiring a version on paper can print out the policies they are interested in and compile their own printed manual.
Questions relating to this manual, suggested revisions to policies contained within this manual, and ideas for policies to be added should be directed to Sheri Peterson.
