The committee shall develop and recommend to the Faculty Senate new policies or changes in policies relative to the undergraduate admission of new and transfer students, probation regulations, standards to qualify students for the Dean’s List, degree with honors, and other appropriate recognitions of scholarly achievement, academic advising, grading structures, readmissions, overloads, residence requirements, and other matters pertaining to academic standards.
In addition, it is empowered to make certain exceptions regarding academic matters when the undergraduate student, faculty member, or administrator involved suggest that unusual circumstances may make such exceptions proper. Possible cases include requests of undergraduate students to be admitted when admissibility to the University is questionable, to remain after being automatically dropped for academic reasons, to return after being dropped, to appeal a course grade, or to graduate without fulfilling residence requirements.
