ACADEMIC AFFAIRS
Introduction
For the student pursuing a program of study at Edinboro University, the
catalogue is an important planning tool. It provides essential information
that will assist the student in meeting the requirements and standards
related to that program of study as well as the range of services and
opportunities provided by the University in support of the student's edu-
cational goals. The catalogue should be used in working with the stu-
dent's advisor.
The information contained in the catalogue applies to the program of
study for individuals entering Edinboro University during the year for
which the catalogue is dated. The information in this section of the cat-
alogue explains the essential elements of academic policies, procedures
and standards in effect at the time of its publication. Additional infor-
mation concerning these issues is available from the Office of the
Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs or from the Office of the
Vice President for Enrollment Services and University Planning.
Students are expected to follow their program of study outlined in the
catalogue in effect at the time of their admission to that program.
Students who transfer to a new program or who interrupt their program
of study for a period exceeding one calendar year and are subsequently
reinstated will be expected to meet the requirements of the program in
effect at the time of their transfer or reinstatement. When this is imprac-
tical, students, together with their advisor and chairperson, will develop
a program to be approved by the dean of the school. Reinstated students
who return to the University within one calendar year of their last enroll-
ment have the option of continuing under the curriculum and graduation
requirements for which they were responsible when they left the institu-
tion.
University Policy Manual
Students need to be aware that the University Policy Manual is available
for inspection in the following areas: Baron-Forness Library (on
reserve); Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs,
Reeder Hall; Office of Records and Registration, Hamilton Hall.
Additionally, the policy manual may be found on the University's VAX
computer system. Students should become familiar with those policies
which will affect them during their time at Edinboro University.

Academic Advisement and
Student Responsibility
Upon entering Edinboro University, each student is assigned a faculty
advisor who, by experience, professional background and example,
should be particularly qualified to assist the student in planning the pro-
gram of study, in developing successful strategies for academic success
and in providing insight into preparation for a career and the value of the
program of study the student has undertaken. Academic advisors are
available during regularly scheduled office hours or by appointment to
meet with their advisees. The academic advisement process is a critical
element in a university education.
