STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
Each student is responsible for the proper completion of his or
her academic program, for familiarity with the Francis Marion University
Catalog, for maintaining the grade point average required, and for
meeting all other degree requirements. The academic adviser will
counsel, but the final responsibility for a successful college career
rests with the student.
Students are required to have knowledge of and observe all regulations
pertaining to campus life and student deportment. The University's
Code of Student Conduct is summarized in the Student Life chapter
of this catalog and stated in expanded form in the Student Handbook.
As students willingly accept the benefits of membership in the Francis
Marion University academic community, they acquire obligations to
observe and uphold the principles and standards that define the
terms of FMU community cooperation and make those benefits possible.
Each student while associated with the University is expected to
participate in campus and community life in a manner that will reflect
credit upon the student and the University.
Change of Name or AddressEach student is responsible
for maintaining communication with the University and keeping on
file with the Office of the Registrar at all times any change in
name and current address, including zip code and telephone number.
Failure to do so can cause serious delay in the handling of student
records and important correspondence. Information regarding advising
and pre-registration will be mailed to the local address for those
students who are currently enrolled. Because of its nature and purpose,
campus housing may not be regarded as a student's permanent home
address.
Student Evaluation of Course and InstructorEvery semester
students are provided the opportunity to evaluate each course and
its instructor so that educational quality may be maintained and
enhanced. All students are encouraged to respond to the evaluation
with honesty, sincerity, and a sense of confidentiality. The evaluation
is administered during class time, with the instructor leaving the
room while a designated student hands out forms, collects forms,
and then delivers the completed forms to the appropriate faculty
secretary. These evaluations are completely anonymous, and faculty
members do not receive any feedback until grades have been turned
in to the Registrar. Upon noting that these procedures of evaluation
have not been followed, a student may contact the Office of the
Provost in order to confidentially notify the administration of
such failure to follow procedures.
