Full Compliance

Georgia Southern University publishes information concerning student rights and responsibilities in the 2004-2005 Student Guide , the 2004-2005 Undergraduate and Graduate Catalog , and in its Faculty Handbook — all of which are broadly disseminated to the campus community. The 2004-2005 Student Guide is the official student policies and procedures publication of the University and contains a listing of the conduct codes, rules, regulations, policies and procedures which provide for orderly operation of the University. The Eagle Eye, which is distributed primarily to new and transfer students, is intended as the “new student handbook” and contains general information about University life, student service agencies, and related material.

The 2004-2005 Undergraduate and Graduate Catalog details students' obligations and responsibilities specifically within academics. Although the University states that every effort will be made to keep students advised of any changes in the information contained in the Catalog , ultimately, each student is responsible for keeping himself or herself apprised of current graduation requirements in his or her particular degree program. It further reads that while academic advisors should be consulted regularly, students are responsible for the completion of their chosen degree programs.
