Academic Responsibilities

Students have the responsibility to:

• Inquire about course or degree requirements if they do not understand them or are in doubt about them.
• Maintain the standards of academic performance established for individual courses and for programs of study.
• Learn the content of any course of study.
• Act in accordance with commonly accepted standards of academic conduct. If disruptive behavior occurs in a classroom, an instructor has authority to ask the student to leave the classroom for one class session and then report it to the Dean of Students Office. Should such disorderly or disruptive conduct persist, the instructor should report the matter to Auraria Campus Police, the Dean of Students Office, and the appropriate Department Chair and Dean’s office.
• Maintain academic ethics and academic honesty.
• Pay the tuition and fees and be officially registered in order to attend a class.
• Initiate an investigation by contacting the department chair if they believe their academic rights have been violated.
