ACADEMIC INFORMATION
CATALOG POLICIES
The Francis Marion University Catalog is not an irrevocable contract.
Regulations published in it are subject to change by the University
at any time without notice. University regulations are policy
statements to guide students, faculty, and administrative officers
in achieving the goals of the institution. Necessary interpretations
of these policies will be made by the appropriate authorities
with the interests of the students and the institution in mind.
Students are encouraged to consult an adviser if they have questions
about the application of any policy.
Each new edition of the catalog becomes effective at the opening
of the fall semester following its publication. To receive a degree,
an undergraduate student must complete satisfactorily all requirements
described in the catalog in effect at the time of first enrollment
as a degree student at the University or all requirements described
in the catalog in effect at the time of graduation. Any student
who changes from one major or minor to another must meet requirements
of the new major or minor in effect at the time of the change.
Any student who leaves the University or changes to another major
or minor for a period of one calendar year or longer and then
returns to the University or to the original major or minor will
be required to meet requirements in effect at the time of return.
Exceptions to these policies may be necessitated by changes in
course offerings or degree programs or by action of authorities
higher than the University. In that event, every effort will be
made to avoid penalizing the student.
While every effort has been made to ensure accuracy of information,
Francis Marion University reserves the right to change any provision
listed in this catalog including, but not limited to, academic
requirements for graduation without notice to individual students.
However, every effort will be made to advise students of such
changes and to minimize the inconvenience such changes might create
for students.
Information regarding graduation requirements is available in
the Office of the Registrar. Students are responsible for keeping
themselves apprised of current graduation requirements for the
degree programs in which they are enrolled.
