STUDENT LIFE

STUDENT REGULATIONS

The University considers all students to be adults who are capable of recognizing their responsibility to the school they have chosen. Consequently, the University has adopted the policy on "Student Rights and Responsibilities" which can be found in the Student Handbook. The Student Handbook is published every year and made available to students. It is the responsibility of each student to obtain a copy, become familiar with the contents, and abide by the policies and procedures contained in the handbook. While detailed policies are in the handbook, the following are significant and should be noted:

  1. The University reserves the right to refuse admission or to require withdrawal if such action appears to be in the best interest of the student, the student body, or the University.
  2. In order to receive academic credits or a degree, a student's indebtedness to the University must be settled, and the student must account satisfactorily for all property entrusted to his/her care.
  3. The possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages or drugs by a student must conform to Francis Marion University policy and to South Carolina law. Copies of this policy are available in the Office of Student Development.
  4. Salesmen are not permitted to contact students on campus, nor are students permitted to serve as commercial agents on campus.
  5. Any student withdrawing from the University must see his/her adviser to obtain a Complete Withdrawal Form. The completed form must be taken by the student to the Office of the Registrar so that rolls and records can be corrected. (See Withdrawing from the University.)
  6. Students must register any automobiles they intend to bring on campus. Permits are issued for an academic year and may be secured during registration at the beginning of each semester or from the Cashier's Office.
  7. Any student group claiming sponsorship by the University and any student or student group seeking publicly to represent the University must have prior approval from appropriate authorities as authorized in the Student Handbook.
  8. Registration assumes students individually and collectively will conform to all regulations published in the Francis Marion University Catalog and the Student Handbook as well as to all special regulations (e.g., traffic rules, rules of personal conduct at University activities, and housing rules and regulations) designed to support the ongoing University program.
