It is the responsibility of each college dean to ensure that students being awarded baccalaureate degrees have fulfilled the approved University requirements. On rare occasions, special circumstances may warrant the granting of exceptions or waivers from the approved program requirements for individual students. The following procedures have been established to govern waiving, substitutions and auditing of BDR requirements.
1. The responsibility for granting waivers to BDR requirements, the substitutions thereto, shall rest with the student's college dean.
2. The responsibility for auditing the student's progress in fulfilling the requirements of BDR shall reside with the student's college dean.
3. Appeals arising from decisions made by the college dean and any requests for extraordinary exceptions to graduation requirements must be submitted to the Subcommittee on Academic Standards of the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Education as a final review board.
4. The Administrative Council on Undergraduate Education shall annually review the actions taken by the several colleges in granting waivers and substitutions to insure against the erosion of standards established by BDR. (Ref: Senate Policy 82-60)
