Tubaugh Drawings by Mariluise Mohr Assistance by Carol Ludwig August 1, 1987 Dear MSU Student: Within this resource guide you will find intormation on a great many pro grams and services that students have found helpful in pursuing their careers here at Michigan State University. I encourage you to learn more about your University, the community in which you live, as well as your rights and re sponsibilities as a student. In a university, as in any community, it is necessary to have regulations by which members abide and by which functions are organized. The standards must be stringent enough to provide an atmosphere conducive to intellectual and personal development. It is intended that the second part of this guide will serve to inform you of the rules, regulations, rights and responsibilities that have been promulgated in the interest of all members of the University community. During your enrollment you are expected to abide by the rules and regulations as set forth in this guide, as well as the University catalog and other official University publications. We are proud of the students, faculty, and staff who have contributed in many ways to the important activities, programs, and service of the Univer sity. It is our hope that you personally will take advantage of the many op portunities available for a full and rewarding experience while you are here. The staff of the Division of Student Affairs and Services stands ready to assist you in this endeavor. Sincerely, Moses Turner Vice President for Student Affairs and Services MT/sw MSU is an Affirmative Action /Equal Opportunity Institution . PART 1· INFORMATION and SERVICES Academic Affairs Activities Career Planning Division of Student Affairs and Services Employment Financial Aid Food Governance at MSU Health Services Housing Information Legal Services Personal Security Recreation Services for Special Groups ACADEMIC AFFAIRS Success comes more easily when you understand the specialized language of the campus and know where to go for assistance with academic questions . Following are definitions of official terms and some commonly used words and phrases, as well as brief descriptions of many important services, offices, and programs . Cross references are given for more information. The remainder of the section describes some of the academic support services available at MSU . Note : The official and most complete source of informa tion on academic affairs is the Academic Programs section of the Un iversity catalog. Consult it for policies, regula tions , requirements, and procedures regarding academic matters. The Schedule of Courses, published each term, includes information about enrollment and registration pro cedures and scheduling information about the courses of fered in a given term . CAMPUS WORDS AND PHRASES Academic Calendar .. .includes all those dates that are essential to MSU students-graduate as well as under graduate . Included are enrollment and registration infor mation , deadlines for dropping and adding courses, and deadlines for applying for financial aid . A basic version appears in each term's Schedule of Courses ; a somewhat expanded version is printed inside the back cover of this book, and a detailed copy comes at the front of the Student Directory . Review the calendar often , especially if you are graduating or changing enrollment. The long version also lists many campus activities. Academic Programs ... one volume of the University catalog . It includes descriptions of all programs by each college, lists of faculty members , outlines of University services , and academic rules and procedures . Be sure to keep your copy for reference. Academic Year .. . at MSU runs from September to June, or from Fall Term through Spring . If you plan to interrupt your enrollment for one or more terms (excluding sum mers) , you should read about "Readmission ." 4 Add ... changing enrollment by adding a course. During the second through fifth days of classes, go to the teaching department offering the course. After five days, start by seeing your adviser . The procedure is included in the Academic Programs under "Change of Enrollment. " The person signing your enrollment card will be able to tell you whom to see next. If more money is required , staff in the Registrar's Office will let you know . Audit .. . sitting in on a course without getting credit or a grade . Currently enrolled students cannot be auditors (see "Visitor") . Adviser .. . your personal contact at MSU who helps you through the academic maze . Some departments and col leges employ an advisement center staff; others assign students to individual faculty members; and No-Preference students are advised through the Student Affairs Office of the Undergraduate University Division . Either way, your adviser helps you plan your overall program , make choices in major fields, and weigh career options. The advising process works best if you prepare yourself. Read the various University and department publications, consider how these relate to you, and weigh your interests. You should always plan ahead for any meeting with your ad viser. If you do not know who your adviser is, check with your department office . If problems develop in your rela tionship with your adviser , talk with the assistant dean of your college . Catalog .. . See "Academic Programs" and "Descriptions of Courses." Class Card Arena, or as students call it, "The Pit" ... the area of registration where you make schedule adjustments. Each department has an area where representatives pro vide the necessary cards and signatur~s for adding or drop ping courses. Before you can add new courses or drop ones in which you enrolled , you must get approval from your academic adviser, or your college adviser in "the pit." Information personnel and college advisers are there to help . Class Codes ... applied to students by the Office of the Registrar to reflect the number of credits earned. With less than 40 credits, you are a freshman coded level 1; 40 to 84 credits, a sophomore coded 2 ; 85 to 129 credits, a junior coded 3 ; 130 credits or more , a senior coded 4. Other class codes apply to special, graduate and graduate professional students . (See the Student Directory .) Class codes may change at the end of any term. Credit by Examination ... qualified students may earn credit in a course by proving mastery of the required material and skills. Some courses are designated for credit by examination in the Schedule of Courses; others may be so designated at the student's request. Certain rules apply to credit by examination , so you should consult the Academic Programs and talk things over with your adviser. Drop .. . changing enrollment by eliminating a course from your schedule. The procedure is the same as· for adding courses ; however, the deadlines are different. If you are dropping courses withou.t adding others, you may be eli gible for a refund. Consult the Academic Programs for the refund policy and the academic calendar for deadlines . If you are dropping all of your courses, see "Withdrawal." CR-NC (Credit-No Credit) ... a grading option which allows students to earn course credit without getting a numerical grade . Certain rules apply to CR-NC , so be sure to consult the Academic Programs and your adviser. Cumulative Grade-Point Average (GPA) ... figured by dividing total grade points earned for all terms by total credits carried for all terms. Credits from CR-NC or P-N courses are not counted , and only the last grade from a repeated course counts . Each term's grade report shows the cumulative GPA. Curriculum .. .is the program of academic study that you have selected . This term is usually (but not always) inter changeable with the term "major." The various curricula offered are listed in the introductory section of the Student Directory .If you have any questions at all about your cur riculum, or its requirements, contact your academic adviser as soon as possible . Guessing, or relying on information from individuals other than your adviser , may cause you to make an error in your academic program that could needlessly delay your graduation . OF-Deferred .. .is given to graduate students doing satisfac tory work but who cannot complete a course's require ments during the term . The work must be completed within two calendar years if credit is to be earned. Undergraduate and graduate-professional students may receive OF in courses approved for OF (usually those in which the work extends beyond one term) . In either case , if the work is not completed OF /N for "deferred, no grade" will appear on the grade report, and no credit will be granted . Deferred Payment Plan .. . Up to one-half the term's total charges may be deferred for people living in University housing. (This includes university apartments.) The deferred payment may be arranged at registration, and due dates for the payments appear in the Schedule of Courses. There is a fee for each installment and a penalty for late payments. Descriptions of Courses .. . volume two of the University catalog contains a description of each course offered by MSU. Dismissal. .. an undergraduate student is not allowed to register at MSU when he or she has repeated more than 30 credits, has failed too many courses, has received grades of 0.0 in 12 or more credits in a given term, or has failed to meet the requirements set for being readmitted. No prior warning is necessary . Dismissal does not imply that you can never return to MSU . (Refer to the Academic Programs for details .) Dual Enrollment .. . A senior less than 15 credits away from graduation may be admitted to a graduate program and be dually enrolled for graduate study while completing the requirements for a bachelor's degree. Limits of three terms and 18 credits apply, along with other conditions . If you are interested , start by talking to your adviser. (Refer to Academic Programs for details.) Early Enrollment .. . gives currently enrolled students the chance to sign up for courses they would like to take the following term. About the middle of each term, the Schedule of Course for the following term and Registra tion Section Request Forms are available. Just follow the "Enrollment and Registration Instructions" printed in the schedule book. Be sure the courses you select are in accordance with your Academic Progress Plan and are approved by your advisor. Early Registration .. . If you have early enrolled , and are in good academic standing, you can pick up your Section Reservation Enrollment Card and Permit to Register at your college during finals week and then go to IM West to complete registration and pay fees. Evening College .. . a division of Lifelong Education Pro grams, offers a variety of noncredit courses and programs. Most require one meeting per week with MSU faculty or special guest lecturers in an informal setting on the campus. There are no exams, grades, or transcripts and courses do not count toward graduation. The Evening College of fice is in 18 Kellogg Center, 5-4562. Field Experience .. .is work done in an "on-the-job" set ting. Many departments and colleges consider this an essential part of a student's course of study . This kind of practical experience may also be called: "practicum," "in ternship," "field study," or "professional experience." Check with your adviser, and read Academic Programs and Descriptions of Courses. General Education Requirement ... Each MSU student must earn a minimum of 45 credits in courses approved for general education or in approved substitutes . Nine of the required 45 credits in general education must be earned by completing appropriate courses in A TL or an approved substitute . For the remaining 36 credits each student must earn no fewer than 9 and no more than 16 credits, in cluding any approved substitute , in each of three areas: arts and humanities; biological, physical, and mathematical sciences; and social and behavioral sciences. Consult Academic Programs and Schedule of Courses for addi tional information. Your adviser can help you plan your program so that you meet the requirements with courses that fit your needs and interests . 5 Grad Assistant .. .is a .graduate student employed by the University, usually as a teaching assistant. Some grade exams, others teach lab or recitation sections, and some teach an entire course . Grade Point Average (GPA) .. . is a measure of perfor mance for each term's work and is printed on the grade report. It is figured this way: Multiply the grade for each course by the number of credits it carries to get the points for each course. Add up the grade points and credits. Divide the total credits into the total grade points, and round off to two decimal places . If your average is under 2 .00, check out the sections on "MAPS ," "dismissal" and "recess" ; if it is over 3 .40, look into the information about Honors Programs. Graduate-Professional Student .. . a person in one of three professional programs: Human Medicine, Osteopathic Medicine , or Veterinary Medicine. These programs lead to the M.D ., D.O ., or D.V.M. degree, respectively. Guest Status .. . allows MSU students to take courses at other schools-either during the summer or the regular academic year-and to transfer credits to MSU. If you plan to attend another Michigan school, start by visiting the Office of Admissions and Scholarships (250 Administra tion Building) and getting the Michigan Uniform Undergraduate Guest Application form . For an out-of-state school, you will need to get regular admissions forms. Discuss the proposed plan with your adviser , check the sections on "transfer credit" and "transfer evaluation," and read the appropriate section in Academic Programs. Hold Card .. .indicates that the student may not continue the registration process because of an outstanding debt to the University, a disciplinary action, or failure to comply with conditions of enrollment. Most cases involve a bill which can be cleared up by paying the debt . ("Judicial" or "condition-of-enrollment" holds are rare and usually do not come as a surprise.) There are "hold windows" at registration where you can get an explanation of the problem and a suggestion for resolving it. (See "Hold Card Policy" in Part ·III of this book .) JDC ... stands for "Interdisciplinary Courses." Such courses cut across the usual academic divisions, and stress a variety of approaches to the subject. Usually several faculty members teach portions of the course, or numerous guest lecturers appear. I-Incomplete .. .is given at the instructor's discretion to a student who has finished at least eight weeks of the term but can not complete the class or take the final. One also has to be doing satisfactory work and be able to complete the work without repeating the course. All the work has to be done by the middle of the student's next term in at tendance if that term is within one calendar year following the receipt of the I. Otherwise, the "I" becomes a 0 .0 or N-depending on the grading system . 6 Independent Study .. .is highly individualized work pro viding greater depth of study . Such a program must be outlined in writing , supervised by a faculty member, and approved by your adviser and the teaching unit at the beginning of the term . Most departments and colleges set aside course numbers for "Honors Work" or "Special Projects" allowing variable credit. Grades are determined on the usual scale . For additional information , refer to Academic Programs . Late Registration .. .is completing the registration pro cedure after the close of the regular period . Late registra tion must be completed within the first five class days of the term, and there are charges-$1 per credit on the first day and $2 per credit after then . Lifelong Education .. .is a major institutional thrust for MSU . In 1975 the Board of Trustees created Lifelong Education Programs under a dean . Its charge was for Lifelong Education Programs to work with academic colleges and departments in developing lifelong education opportunities especially for, but not limited to, students who do not fall in the 18-22 years old "traditional college age bracket." The resulting opportunities include credit and noncredit courses, programs, conferences, and workshops on the campus and at sites throughout Michigan and around the world. Some degree programs can be com pleted entirely off the campus . Lower Division ... consists of freshmen and sophomores class codes 1 and 2. Most freshmen and sophomores are enrolled in the Undergraduate University Division (UUD) . Such students may declare a field of study as a major preference and be assigned an academic adviser in that field ; however , the academic responsibility for such students rests solely with UUD . (See UUD.) Major ... See "Curriculum ." MAPS ... The '~Minimum Academic Progress Scale" lets students know where they stand in thefr progression toward graduation , which requires a cumulative 2 .00 GPA. The Academic Program includes the chart and an explanation of how to use it. There are other considerations as well, so if you are close to a 2.00 you should read these carefully and talk with your adviser. N-No Grade .. . means you will receive no credit. It is given to students who drop courses after the middle of the term while doing passing work. It also shows failure to earn a "P" grade in a P-N graded class. No Preference Major .. . is a choice available to all students with less than 85 credits (except transfer students with 70 or more credits) . The option exists to allow you to p ut off selecting a major until you have a chance to sample courses from several areas; however , you have to settle on a specific major by the time you are a junior (85 credits). Office Hours for Faculty .. . are the hours set aside by faculty members for meeting with students. Each person handles office hours differently ; some want you to make appointments and others have an open-door policy . Early each term , your profs will let you know when and how to see them . Make a note of the times . Instructors are will ing to help you with a question or problem if you will talk with them . (If you forget an instructor's office hours, the department's secretary can help you .) Ombudsman ... See "Ombudsman's Office" at the end of this section . Overseas Study ... Studying abroad can be an enriching experience , both academically and personally . The Office of Overseas Study, a division of Lifelong Education Pro grams, facilitates MSU study programs in Western and Eastern Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America throughout the year . The office in 108 Center for Inter national Programs also offers students information on other programs sponsored by American universities and foreign institutions. Pass (P) Grade ... the grade given for successfully com pleting a course approved for Pass-No grade (P-N) grading. The course credits count toward graduation and in figur ing out MAPS , but do not affect grade point averages. P-N .. . the P,ass-no grade grading system applies to certain courses, such as field experience or student teaching. You either get credit (P) or don't (N) depending on how you perform. Classes to which this applies have "P-N" printed before the course number in the Schedule of Courses . (See "CR-NC.") Permit to Register ... this card must be shown at the entrance to lntramural-Recreative Sports-West or you are not allowed in to register. You may pick up the card, along with the Section Reservation -Enrollment Card , at your college or department office . Placement Tests ... help you and your adviser decide which courses you should take -especially during your first term . Low scores may mean that you will need some remedial-developmental-preparatory courses. High scores may mean that you can enroll in more advanced courses. For additional information , consult the Academic Programs. Prerequisite ... is something that is required before something else . In the Schedule of Courses you will find a column with this heading under which several things may appear: Course numbers may be listed; if so , these courses will have to be completed successfully before you enroll in the other course. Approval of the department offering the course ("Appr of dept") may appear; in this case, check with the department office for requirements for enrolling . If "See catalog" shows up, more complicated prerequisites may be involved . Read the Academic Programs and Descriptions of Courses and talk with your adviser . the process of getting back Readmission ... is into MSU after being out one or more terms (summer term excluded). It starts with an application for readmission from the Office of the Registrar (50 Admin . Building) . If you were a student in good standing, the process doesn't take long-a month . People going from undergraduate to graduate programs must complete an application for admission to graduate study . Those changing graduate programs should contact the department offering the new program . If you have been on "recess" or "dismissal," then you should refer to "Readmission after Academic Recess or Dismissal" in Academic Programs . Recess .. . Having given the student prior written warning, the University requires a student to drop out of school for a specified period of time because of failure to attain the minimal acceptable level of academic performance. The student normally gets a second chance to "make good" at MSU, so a student may apply for readmission once the period of recess ends . See "Academic Actions" and "Read mission after Academic Recess or Dismissal" in the Academic Programs . Regional Centers ... give Michigan residents close-to home contact with MSU. University information, especially about courses, programs, and services extended from the campus, is available in the Lifelong Education Programs Regional Centers in Benton Harbor , Birmingham , East Lansing, Saginaw-Flint, Grand Rapids , Marquette, and Traverse City . Extended activities include year-round schedules of courses and non-credit study opportunities. On the campus, information on the regional centers and· extension activities can be obtained from the Office of Ex ternal Courses and Programs , 8 Kellogg Center, 355-0150. Registrar's Office .. .is charged with keeping your academic records-both past and present. Most ques tions about your records can be answered by someone at this office. If not , they will be able to tell you. whom to contact. Remedial-Developmental-Preparatory Courses .. . are required of some MSU students so that academic weaknesses may be overcome. Students scoring poorly on certain placement tests may be required to complete such courses. Academic departments may require their students to complete certain remedial-developmental preparatory courses, as well. In either case, the Schedule indicates these courses by a four-digit of Courses number, and the guidelines for the various types appear in Academic Programs . Residence ... refers to enroll for a to your having minimum number of credits on the East Lansing campus before MSU will grant you a degree. (The actual numbers appear in Academic Programs , but they probably will not effect you unless you have a lot of transfer credits.) 7 Resident ... the University determines whether you are a resident of Michigan. Since your rate of tuition can be affected, very specific criteria have been developed and appear in the Academic Programs under "Out-of-State Tuition Regulations." MSU makes a first determination on the basis of your home address at the time you apply for admission . This may be changed if certain criteria are met. An appeal procedure does exist. Contact the Office of the Registrar for assistance . Transcript .. .is a copy of your permanent academic record . These records reflect courses , credits and grades; special notes about teaching certification , dual majors , thematic programs, transfer information and such ap pear. If you simply want to look at your record , visit 150 Administration Building. A transcript may be obtained for $3 in 50 Administration Building . You can order it one day and pick it up the next; or you can handle the tran saction by mail. Residential Programs ... MSU offers · two distinctive residential programs. Lyman Briggs School, located in Holmes Hall , specializes in the physical and biological sciences . James Madison College, located in Case Hall, stresses public affairs programs. These programs accept tran~fers from within the University , so if you are interested in one, read about it in Academic Programs and contact the unit's student affairs or advisement office . Schedule of Courses .. . See "Note," first page of this sec tion. Service-Learning ... Experience gained through volunteer work in a career or course-related field that supplements and complements course work . (See section on Division of Student Affairs and Services .) for Instructional Rating "Student SIRS ... Stands System." Each term in every class you will get a form on which you can evaluate the instructors. (You do not need to identify yourself.) A major purpose of SIRS is to pro vide instructors and teaching units with information about their instructional practices so that classroom effective ness may be maintained at the highest level of excellence . Special Student ... refers to students with class code 5 . This is a catchall term for the following : high-achieving high school students; Lifelong Education unclassified status students; agriculture technology guests ; English Language Center students; and those in other special programs. Syllabus .. .is an outline of a course. Lecture topics , reading assignments, exam dates· and material to be covered are usually included. Some courses, mainly those with General Education designations, have formal and complete syllabi which can be purchased at the bookstores. Keep ·the syllabus as it is valuable when studying for tests . Thematic Studies Programs ... are interdisciplinary sub ject areas not included in a single college or departm.ent. Completion of a· program is noted in your academic records. Four programs are available : Film Studies, Islamic Studies, Jewish Studies , and Women's Studies . If one interests you , read the requirements in Academic Programs and talk with your adviser . 8 Transfer Credits ... credits earned by completing courses at another school. The credits apply toward a degree from MSU and fhe course names and credits are added to your MSU academic record . The number of credits you may transfer is limited and upper division students may not transfer work from two-year schools. A variety of other rules apply , too , and it is important to plan carefully . Start by reading the rules in Academic Pro grams and contact your college's student affairs office. If talk to someone about Transfer questions remain, Evaluation. (See next.) Transfer Evaluation ... is done by the Office of Admis sions and Scholarships, but academic departments prepare guidelines for recognizing transfer work . If you have ques tions about transfer credits or their evaluation , contact your academic adviser or a staff member in Admissions . Upper Division .. . juniors and seniors with class codes 3 and 4, respectively. To get upper division standing, you have to declare a major and be accepted by a college as a degree candidate. This presents little difficulty if your academic performance falls within the "MAPS" or you are not interested in a highly competitive major . If you feel uncertain about your position, see your adviser. Visitor ... a currently enrolled MSU student who with approval is enrolled in a credit course on a non-credit basis. You can re-enroll in the course during a later term and receive the credits . To visit, you need approval of your adviser and the chairperson of the department offer ing the course . Fees for "visiting" are the same as for tak ing a course for credit. Withdrawal.. .means voluntarily leaving the University within the term . If you decide to drop all of your courses or your only course before the term is completed , you must withdraw . The withdrawal procedure begins in the · Office of Student Records and Withdrawals, 101 Student Services. You may withdraw until the end of the eighth week of a regular term or prior to the end of the fourth week of a five -week summer term . Consult "Withdrawal Procedures and Policies" in Part III of this book. The deadlines for withdrawing and for receiving fee refunds are listed on the inside of the back cover. · STUDENT ACADEMIC AFFAIRS Each college or major academic unit maintains an office or special staff for assisting students with academic matters such as enrollment, changes of major, class changes, academic advisement, and withdrawal and readmission procedures . Not all of the offices are exactly alike, so become familiar with the one appropriate for you .

Students remain in UUD until they earn 85 credits and attain junior standing. (To continue at the University , you must be accepted as a major by one of the colleges offering bac calaureate degree programs .) Freshmen and sopho mores without a major preference (that is, No-Preference students) , are advised by the staff of UUD . Freshmen and sophomores with major preferences are advised by the departments and colleges they plan to enter as juniors; they are welcome to seek additional assistance from the UUD's offices . The Undergraduate University Division provides many ser vices to students through its Student Academic Affairs Offices, the Learning Resources Center, the Office of Sup portive Services , the Office of Programs for Handicapper Students, and Upward Bound . The UUD has experienced advisers to assist you if you need information or help in overcoming academic problems . Student Academic Affairs (SAA) Offices: UUD has four Student Academic Affairs Offices which are open from 8 a.m . to 5 p .m. Monday through Friday.

It supplies, however , a necessary perspective for interpreting the document. Graduate student rights and responsibilities at Michigan State University are part of the social 'and historical background of the University itself. When, more than a century ago , the people of Michigan established this institution on the land-grant principle, they framed a new conception of the role of the university in American life . A land-grant university is a trusteeship of intellect in the service of society . It gathers society's creative and intellec tual powers and uses them to advance the common good and to solve fundamental problems . That is the special character that has caused ·the land-grant university to become one of the great transforming agencies of the American scene . When it honors its commission , it acts not for the sake of the academic community , but for the sake of society . All members of the academic 'community- students, staff, faculty , administrators, and trustees-enact a trust of which society beyond the univer sity is the proper beneficiary . This document is significant not merely because it establishes that graduate students have certain rights and responsibilities, but particularly because it affirms that they are a party to the social trust shared by all in the university community who are charged with preserving and advanc ing the genius of scholarship and the conditions of inquiry which society has entrusted to our care . Preface This report, the Academic Freedom for Students at Michigan State University , and the Medical Students Rights and Responsibilities document , contain guidelines to the rights and duties of graduate students in matters of con duct, academic pursuits, keeping of records, and employ ment. This report describes structures and procedures for formulating regulations governing graduate student con duct, for interpreting and amending the guidelines , for adjudicating graduate student disciplinary cases, and for channeling student complaints, grievances, or concerns to faculty, staff, and administrators for appropriate action . For the most part these provisions simply make explicit what has been long understood and practiced at Michigan State University . This report identifies rights and duties of graduate students and provides for graduate students a carefully prescribed system of due process. Rather than expounding a generalized abstract definition of academic freedom, this report provides an operational definition with concrete application of the concept of academic freedom for graduate students . 72 ARTICLE 1 Graduate Student Rights and Responsibilities at Michigan State University 1.1 Michigan State University is a community of scholars whose members include its faculty, staff, students, and ad ministrators . The basic purposes of the University are the advancement, dissemination and application of knowl edge . The most basic condition for the achievement of these purposes is freedom of expression and communica tion . Without this freedom , effective sifting and testing of ideas cease , and research, teaching, and learning are stifled . Knowledge is as broad and diverse as life itself, and the need for freedom is equally broad . Yet absolute free~ f alcoholic beverages to another is interpreted as sale and as such is prohibited by law. This means that it is illegal for a student or a student organization to provide alcoholic beverages to another on state property even if it is given away.) d. State Liquor Control Act 436.44. Any person engag ed in the business of selling or keeping for sale alcoholic liquor in violation of the provision of this act, whether as owner, clerk, agent servant or employee , shall be equally liable, as principal, both civilly and criminally, for the violation of the provision of this act , 92 or any person or principal shall be liable, both civilly and criminally , for the acts of his clerk, servant, agent , or employee , for the violation of the provisions of this act. (In addition to the above, it is important that the student be aware of the potential for legal responsibility when furnishing alcoholic beverages to other persons. If the individual to whom the beverage was furnished subse quently has an accident attributable to the beverage, then the furnisher may be found to be legally liable.) 3. Administrative Ruling (Use of Alcohol) a. University Housing 1) Students must be 21 years of age in order to possess or consume alcoholic beverages in their liv ing quarters . 2) No kegs will be allowed in and around University residence halls for any purpose. Included in this ex pectation is the elimination of all other common sources of alcohol (e .g., trash cans) . 3) Students are responsible for insuring compliance with State Law and this administrative ruling involv ing alcohol consumption in their rooms or apartments. 4) Student group events involving alcohol may be registered in designated areas, so long as the spon sors can insure that all those attending the event will be 21 years of age or older. Approval for such events must come from the Director of University Housing Programs . 5) Students who choose to violate the administrative ruling governing the use of alcohol should be aware that appropriate administrative personnel within the Division of Student Affairs and Services may adjudi cate violations of this ruling and sanctions may include removal from the residence hall system . Additional ly, violations may be adjudicated through the judicial process as outlined in the Academic Freedom.Report . NOTE : Residence Halls - additional regulations concer ning the use of alcohol are found in the "Residence Hall Bill of Rights ." b. Registered Student Organizations Social events held in non-housing areas on the cam pus and where alcoholic beverages will be possessed or consumed may be scheduled if is clearly demonstrated that everyone in attendance will be 21 years of age or older . Approval for such events must come from the Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs and Services upon the recommendation of the Assistant Director of Student Life (Student Activities) , 101 Student Services Building . it -Vice President for Student Affairs and Services -July 13, 1981 ALL-UNIVERSITY EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES (Student Group Regulation) ANTI-DISCRIMINATION POLICY AND PROCEDURES (All-University Policy) (Applicable to University employees as well as students.) All-University events and activities sponsored by registered student organizations, living unit organizations, and major governing groups must be calendared through the Student Life Center, 101 Student Services Building . ANIMALS (Ordinance 25.00) ... No person owning or having under his control any animal shall permit such animal to be brought upon the property of Michigan State University without having a leash suitably attached to the animal and with the leash held by the person responsible. ... No person shall bring any animal into any University building. ... No person shall bring any animal into a University bus. ... No person shall bring any animal into any University atea such as the Beal Botanical Garden or the Horticulture Gardens when such areas are posted to prohibit the presence of animals. . . . Exceptions to the above provisions shall include: Article 1. Purpose The Board of Trustees of Michigan State University reaf firms its commitment' to a policy of no discrimination on the basis of race, creed, ethnic origin or sex and establishes the following procedures to prevent such discrimination in accordance with due process within the University com munity. In doing so, the Board recognizes that it is not enough to proclaim a policy of non-discrimination. The University must also strive actively to build a community in which opportunity is equalized and to use its facilities and human resources to develop the skills and oppor tunities through which members of all groups may play responsible and productive roles in society . This policy is relevant to all aspects of the University including the choice of contractors and suppliers of ,goods and services. In carrying out this policy, the University also is bound by applicable Federal laws, orders and regulations. Among these are Executive Orders 11246 and 11375 (affirmative action), the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (sex discrimination). While such laws and orders provide avenues for remedy of complaints of racial, sex, or other prohibited discrimina tion, the Board also believes that the University must have its own internal machinery for the receipt, consideration and resolution of such complaints. The Board therefore directs the establishment of the Anti Discrimination Judicial Board to carry out this policy in the manner outlined herein . The Board also directs all units of the University to take appropriate action immediately to implement this policy and procedures. a. Animals used by blind persons for "seeing-eye" purposes. Article 2. Discrimination b. Animals brought for treatment to the Veterinary Medicine facilities or for University sponsored research. c.

'Article VIII, Bylaws of the Board of Trustees. "It shall be the policy of the Board to provide equal educa tion opportunity to all qualified students from the State of Michigan and, insofar as facilities, faculty, and accom modations permit, a reasonable number from other states and other countries. There shall be no discrimination bas ed on race, color, sex, or creed. No discrimination shall be allowed in University housing or in the University supervised off-campus housing. No fraternity, sorority, stu dent organization or club may exist on any campus of Michigan State University if it operates under a constitu tion that discriminates against potential members on the basis of race, color, national origin or ancestry." 93 2.

CODE OF TEACHING RESPONSIBILITY The teaching responsibilities of instructional staff members (herein referred to as instructors) are among those many areas of university life which have for generations been a part of the unwritten code of academicians. The provisions of such a code are so reasonable to learned and humane individuals that it may appear redundant or unnecessary to state them. However, the University conceives them to be so important that performance by instructors in meeting the provisions of this code shall be taken into considera tenure, and tibn promotion. in determining salary increases, 1. Instructors are responsible for ensuring that the content of the courses they teach is consistent with the course descriptions approved by the University Committee on Curriculum and the Academic Council. Instructors are also responsible for stating clearly to students in their classes the instructional objectives of each course at the beginning of each term. It is expected that the class ac tivities will be directed toward the fulfillment of these objectives and that the bases upon which student per formance is evaluated will be consistent with these objectives. 2. Instructors are responsible for informing students in their classes of the methods to be used in determining final course grades and of any special requirements of at tendance which differ from the attendance policy of the University . Course grades will be determined by the in structor's assessment of each student's individual per formance , judged by standards of academic achievement. 3. Examinations and other assignments submitted for grading during the term should be returned with suffi cient promptness to enhance the learning experience . Unclaimed final examination answers will be retained by the instructor for at least one term so that they may be reviewed by students who desire to do so. Examina tion questions are an integral part of course materials, and the decision whether to allow their retention by students is the responsibility of the instructor. Term papers and other comparable projects are the property of students who prepare them. They should be return ed to students who ask for them and those which are not returned shquld be retained by the instructor for at least one term. Instructors who desire to retain a copy for their own files should state their intention to do so in order that students may prepare additional copies for themselves . 4. Instructors are expected to meet their classes regularly and at scheduled times. Instructors will notify their units if they are to be absent and if appropriate arrangements have not been made so that suitable action may ·be taken by the unit if necessary . 5. Instructors of courses in which assistants are authoriz ed to perform teaching or grading functions shall be responsible for acquainting such individuals with the provisions of this Code and for monitoring their compliance. 6. Instructors are expected to schedule and keep a reasonable number of office hours for student con ferences . Office hours should be scheduled at times con venient to both students and instructors with the addi tional option of prearranged appointments for students when there are schedule conflicts . The minimum number of office hours is to be agreed upon by the teaching unit , and specific times should be a matter of common knowledge . 7 . Instructors who are responsible for academic advising 99 I I I' ~ are expected to be in their offices at appropriate hours during pre-enrollment and enrollment periods.Ar rangements shall also be made for advising during registration . Hearing Procedures 1. Students may register complaints regarding an in structor's failure to comply with the provisions of the Code of Teaching Responsibility directly with that instructor. 2. Students may also take complaints directly to teaching units' chief administrators or their designates .• If those persons are unable to resolve matters to the student's satisfaction, they are obligated to transmit written com plaints to unit committees charged with hearing such complaints. A copy of any complaint transmitted shall be sent to the instructor . A written report of the action or recommendation of such groups will be forwarded to the student and to the instructor, normally within ten working days of the receipt of the complaint. 3 . Complaints coming to the University Ombudsman• will be reported , in writing , to chief administrators of the teaching units involved when in the Ombudsman's opin ion a hearing appears necessary. It will be the respon sibility of chief administrators or their designates to inform the instructor and to refer such unresolved com plaints to the unit committees charged with hearing such complaints. A written report of the action or recommen dation of such groups will be forwarded to the Univer sity Ombudsman , to the student , and to the instructor, normally within ten working days of the receipt of the complaint. 4 . Students wishing to appeal a teaching unit action or recommendation may do so as outlined in Academic Freedom for Students at Michigan State University, Graduate Student Rights and Responsibilities docu meni , or Medical Student Rights and Responsibilities document. •Such complaints must normally be initiated no later than mid-term of the quarter following the one wherein alleged violations occurred. Exceptions shall be made in cases where the involved instructor or student is absent from the University during the quarter following the one wherein alleged violations occurred . Reprinted from Academic Programs 1986-87 CONTRACTS, HOUSING 1. For those students residing in Michigan State Univer sity residence halls, the Residence Hall Contract is a requirement of the Board of Trustees . The contract indicates the services provided by the Department of Residence Halls and states the conditions by which the resident agrees to abide in order to maintain good 100 standing as a hall resident. Once the student moves in to a residence hall , the contract becomes effective and remains in effect for the balance of the academic year. Students should consult the Hall Manager for information and policies regarding the housing con tract. 2 . A student living in an off-campus living unit should fully understand the terms and duration of a lease or housing contract. Guidelines to leasing are qvailable in the Student Life Center, 101 Student Services Building and from the Tenant's Resource Center, 855 Grove Street, East Lansing .

No person ineligible to attend such events shall loiter about the premises where such an event is being held . ... No person or persons shall enter any steam tunnel, mechanical room or boiler room unless required to do so in the proper performance of their assigned duties . DISTRIBUTION OF LITERATURE The right of students to express opinions and communicate ideas in writing is viewed by the University as fundamen tal , subject to regulation only with regard to the manner of distribution , and the identification of the author. For this reason, the over-riding principles governing student publi cations are contained in the document codifying student rights and responsibilities, Academic Freedom for Students at Michigan State University, specifically in Article 6, entitled "Independent and University-supported Student Publications." In addition to the stipulations in Article 6, there exists a regulation governing the distribution of materials (not exclusively student publications) within campus residence halls . This regulation follows . Distribution of Material in Residence Halls (Student Group Regulation) 1. Mailbox distribution Material may be placed in University residence hall mailboxes provided it qualifies as one of the following: a . U.S. mail. 1 b. Campus mail with student's name and room number. c. Material from hall directors, University Housing Prngrams, area directors, management, area managers, hall government or Residence Halls Association (RHA) . d. Registered student organizations, living unit organizations, . major governing groups and ASMSU, if the material carries the student's name and room number. RHA is excepted from this provision,. e . Material presented to the desk receptionist if the material has the student's name and room number. (This is to be understood as communica tion between individuals, not mass distribution .) The above procedures are. to protect all the occupants of the halls from mass distribution of material that is generally not of interest to the majority of the occu pants; to protect the privacy of the individual; and to facilitate a method of circulation which is feasible and effective. 2 . Free-will, pick-up distribution Mass distribution of material , on a free-will , pick-up basis, may be accomplished in the University residence halls at the designated distribution center. Any Univer sity or student group or organization may distribute at this center, provided the name of the individual or individuals responsible for the material appears on the item to be distributed . If the organization or group is registered or has obtained a charter, the name of the organization shall appear on the material. This material may be removed after three days of exposure. Any petitioning or leafleting within the halls which re quires the use of hall space requires the permission of that hall government, manager, and hall director. Halls which have no organized, functioning govern ment refer jurisdiction to RHA , the area manager , and the area director. 3. Door-to-door distribution, There shall be no door-to-door distribution of any nature. 4. Commercial distribution No advertising for commercial and/ or non-University interests shall be permitted, other than regular United States mail fully addressed with the student's name and room number. 5. Bulletin boards a. All notices and publicity for recognized and ' authorized student organizations (registered stu dent organizations, living unit organizations, ma jor governing groups, and ASMSU) to be posted in residence halls shall be .cleared t,hrough Univer sity Housing Programs, 338 Student Services Building . b. All other notices or publicity shall be cleared by the hall director. A blanket approval may be issued by the manager of residence halls or University Housing Programs . c. No advertising for commercial interests will be per mitted. d. Size of notices and publicity shall not exceed 12 inches x 18 inches. e . Each individual residence hall shall have final authority to make exceptions in regard to its policy of bulletin board maintenance. 1U.S. postal regulations entitle incumbent U.S. senators and representatives to send first class mail to their con stituents without full names and addresses. Accordingly, such mail delivered to residence halls will be distributed to residents' mail boxes. 101 I II lj I~ 6. Violation of this policy a. Any student in a University residence hall who does not comply with this policy will be referred to the student's hall director. The staff member may refer the student to the hall judiciary if deem ed necessary. b. Any other student will be referred to the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs and Ser vices . c. Any individual outside the University community who does not comply with this policy will be reter red to the proper authorities. 7.

(f) Organizations may be required to pay a standard service charge only for any that additional University services might be required because of the revenue-producing project. There may also be a rental charge for the use of some facilities. The decision to assess such charges may not be based on the method of collection of revenues, the purpose of the revenue-producing project, or the nature and/ or composi tion of the sponsoring group . -Associated Students of Michigan State University -Council of Graduate Students -University Committee on Student Affairs -Vice President for Student Affairs and Services -May 17, 1971 -Revised June 6, 1986 2. Use of $pace in Residence Halls (Student Group Regulation) Residence halls at Michigan State University have been designed to include multipurpose space for academic, social, cultural, governmental, and recreational pro grams. Residence hall space is primarily for the use and benefit of those students who reside in residence halls during a regular academic term (which is defined as the first day of hall opening through hall closing for that term) . For this reason , the recognized governing body of a hall or its authorized representative, the manager, and hall director are responsible for the gran ting of permission to use space in that hall. (The manager and hall director will assume all responsibility if a student government does not exist in a given hall .) These three groups should not become simply a book ing agent, but should recognize that through their responsibility for reserving hall space they ca·n provide hall residents with opportunities for an expanded range · of experience's and involvement. This responsibility in cludes both ·educational and financial considerations which extend beyond the mechanics of booking rooms . Furthermore, this responsibility must include a concern for the safety and security of the residents 103 and the hall. a. General Guidelines for Space Use (1) Initial contact for the approval and booking process for use of classrooms, kivas, lounges, conference rooms, dining rooms, and similar space, outside of regularly scheduled day and evening classes within a particular hall is ini tiated by contacting one of the three groups necessary for approval - the hall director, the hall manager, or the hall student govern ment. In this initial contact the steps in the ap proval and booking process specific to the particular hall will be explained . (2) The hall student government, hall director, and hall manager shall develop and have available copies of its specific policy for use of space within that particular hall. It shall in clude: (a) procedures for obtaining approval and registration for use of space . (b) the means and procedures for covering labor, set-up and clean-up costs; the method of financing; the collection of deposits, if applicable; and the assess ment of damage charges to the person and/or the group making the booking. (c) a list of groups that have automatic approval to book specific facilities for · meetings through the manager's office for the purpose of making booking regular ly scheduled meetings more expedient. These groups could include academic groups located within the hall, residen tial colleges within the hall, hall govern ments, advisory staff, management and possibly other groups as appropriate . (d) a list of the facilities in the hall which are available and any limitations on the use of each facility which are appropriate in cluding fire safety limitations. (e) a list of the specific groups in a given hall that qualify as "within-hall groups" as defined in Section 2 .b. (f) a statement about "other groups" as de fined in Section 2.b . of this policy. This statement will allow for an individual hall to restrict its space based on such con siderations as the size of the group, alcohol use, and the nature of the activi ty. (g) a statement which indicates the closing hours for events. All events or activities held within the living area are expected to end at hall closing - 12:00 midnight, Sunday through Thursday and 1:00 104 a .m ., Saturday and Sunday mornings. · However, halls may identify specific facilities outside the living area which could be used for events continuing past closing. Such events may be planned on ly by "within-hall groups." The facilities for such events must be in locations which result in no disturbance to residents in the living areas. If such facilities can be identified in a given hall and agreed upon by hall government, the hall director, and the manager, a proposal for such an after-hours policy should be forwarded for examination and approval by the Area Director and Area Manager. Such a proposal should also contain explicit ex pectations for the way in which the hall escort policy will be maintained during such events without excessively over burdening the night receptionist. It would include, furthermore, a stipulation that such events will end promptly at the agreed upon closing time at the initiative of the residents planning the event and without the need for intervention by ad visory staff. Subsequent to approval of such a policy, only the hall director, hall manager, and hall government will need to give approval for a given event. (h) procedures to be taken against a group which violated agreements or policies governing the use of residence hall space. (i) other, as may be appropriate to each individual hall. (3) Carpeted dining rooms may be used for dances if a suitable floor covering is provid ed to protect the carpeting . If damages to carpeting occur as a result of dances or any other activity, the use of dining rooms for such purposes will be discontinued. (4) Food service , cleaning, set-up, and similar services must be secured . through the hall manager. Listed below are general guidelines and exceptions to these guidelines may be made by the hall manager according to limita tions of that particular hall or the requirements of a given event: (a) Events requiring food service need two weeks advance notification after approval is obtained and booking procedures completed . (b) Events requiring special set-up or maintenance need one week advance notification after approval is obtained and booking procedures completed . (c) Events requiring no special set-up need three working days advance notification after approval is obtained and booking procedures completed. (5) Since approval fo r use of residence hall facilities must be made jointly by the hall government, the hall director , and the hall manager , any one of the parties may veto the use of a hall facility by any group . Such an action should be based upon a sound ra tionale : for example , a group which failed to fulfill its obligations in the past might be disallowed any further use of space . Primary responsibility for such decisions exists at the hall level and any dissatisfaction with such a decision should be discussed, first , at the hall level. An appeal is possible, but not to be con sidered routine, if a group thinks it has been treated unjustly . An 1appeal board consisting of the area director, area manager, and RHA designate can be convened by contacting one member. (6) Any event involving the collection of funds shall comply with the All-University Policy for Use of Michigan State University :acilities and Services, exclusive of Resideno Halls, Food Stores , and Kellogg Center by : .tudents;. and for Revenue-Producing Projec s of Students and with Ordinance 30.00 re!,arding selling and advertising . Only those organizations specifically enumerated in these 'policies shall be eligible to collect funds for any event. (a) All student revenue producing events fall under the jurisdiction of ASMSU , RHA, and the Student Life Department. Such events must be registered with the Stu dent Life Department prior to seeking hall space . (Information on procedures for registration of revenue projects is available in the Student Life Center, 101 Student Services.) (b) Granting permission to use hall space for such revenue producing events remains the responsibility of the hall government, hall director , and hall manager. (7) Any group requesting use of space in a hall for an event which involves the use of alcoholic beverages must also secure registra tion and approval for the event under the guidelines of the Administration Ruling (Use of Alcohol) and the alcohol policy of that hall in which the event will be held . (8) Advertising for any event must follow estab lished procedures. (See policy for Distribution of Material in Residence Halls , Fundraising and Revenue-Producing Projects, and Signs.) (9) Any petitioning or leafleting within the halls which requires the use of hall space requires the permission of that hall government, manager , and hall director . Halls which do not have an organized, functioning govern ment defer jurisdiction to RHA. (See also : Distribution of Material in Residence Halls and Guidelines for Campaigning, Canvassing, and Petition Drives on the Michigan State University Campus , in the Student Life Center, 101 Student Services.) (10) Once space is approved for an all-University event/ meeting to be held in residence hall facilities it shall be deemed a public meeting or event open to the entire University community. Any member of that communi ty shall be admitted without discrimination due to race, creed, religion , national origin, sex, or sexual orientation. Similarly, any activity, event, or meeting approved for a house , hall, or complex shall be open to their members of the specific community without discrimination. Exceptions to the above such as special meetings or events which are "for members only" must be so designated when facilities are requested and advertised as such. In ad dition, the organization must have a record of individual members prior to requesting facilities and may invite only the pre determined membership : (11) Formally scheduled classes should be con ducted in facilities scheduled for that purpose unless prior approval for change is obtained from the academic department, the Office of Space Utilization, the hall manager, the hall governing body, and the hall director. (12) Should the need for special academic services occur, (i.e., testing, tutoring , help sessions, or make-up classes) prime consideration should be given to making such space available. (13) Groups which fail to adhere to the respon sibilities outlined in this policy or specific hall policies may be denied future use of space. However, before disciplinary I administrative action can be taken against a group , the basic tenets of due process must be followed. I' (a) The group shall be informed in writing that they are accused of space use 'policy violations. The disciplinary/ ad ministrative process may be initiated by either the hall government, the manager or the advisory staff. 105 (b) The group shall have the opportunity to defend Uself against the alleged aq:usa tions to a committee comprised of representatives of the hall government, management and advisory staffs . If an allegation is not contested by the group , the decision of the hall government, management and advisory staff beC:omes effective . (c) The gro1,1p shall be informed , in writing , by the hall government , management and advisory staff of any dis~iplinary/ad­ ministrative action being taken against it. Specific restrictions or sanctions should be detailed and included in the written notification . · (d) Final appeal may be addressed to a ·corti mittee comprised · of the Area Director, Area Manager and RHA representative. (e) RHA, University Housing Programs and the Department of Residence Halls will keep a list of groups not adhering to the responsibilities outlined in this policy and will make such information available, upon request , to the halls . b. Use of Space by Within-Hall Groups The following guidelines as well as the general guidelines shall apply to the use of space for stu dent groups within a particular hall. (1) Within-hall groups qualify for the use of residence hall facilities . Such within-hall groups and activities include three major categories : (a) an event or activity planned by the hall, house, or hall government and , 1) at ended solely by residents of that hall, or 2) attended by residents of that hall and their invited guests. (b) an event or activity planned and attend ed by a hall group , which has been for mally recognized by the hall government, and that group's invited guests . Hall groups which are so formally recognized are those which have received financial appropriations from the government, or have been formally approved and registered by the government (i.e., photography group , weightlifting group , Black Caucus, radio station) . Such groups should be listed in the space use policy of each hall. (c) an event or activity planned and attend ed by resident members of the residen tial college or academic unit housed within that hall and their invited guests. 106 (2) Within-hall groups must assume responsibility for the meetings , events, or activities they plan . If a particular group does not have demonstrated financial resources (i.e ., a University account) a representative of that group must sign a statement agreeing to assume financial responsibility for any charges . (3) Within-hall groups may not sponsor activities of groups which fall under Section 2 .c ., "other groups ," thus giving the event "within hall moup" status and thereby circumventing the ~pedfic provisions of Section 2 .c . which pertain to "other groups." (4) · Charges for within-hall groups or activities are under the following guidelines . These pro cedure~ differ from those for other groups outside the specific hall for two reasons : first, these residents have paid for the use of these facilities through their room and board ; se cond , these groups have recognized financial resources available the hall government. through (a) Charges are not rental charges , but represent additional labor , supplies, material, or repair costs required to ac commodate the event. The unit manager, in conjunction with advisors and student government representatives, determines whether or not volunteer help can be accepted to assist in set-up or clean-up . Care should be taken in plan ning events .with respect to day , time, and location , so as to utilize all facilities to the best advantage with lowest possi ble labor costs. if an event (b) Charges for set-up and clean-up are is presented for made residents of a hall or complex and an ad mission , collection , or donation is ac cepted from participants . (c) Charges are made for any event spon sored for all students in residence halls or all University students regardless of whether the event is free or by paid admission. (d) Should an admission or donation be re quested solely for the purpose of cover ing costs (not to raise funds) no charges other than for damages will be assessed , provided tickets are used and a statement of income and expenses for the event is presented by the government to the hall manager. If a profit is realized , charges will be assessed . (e) Charges will be made if additional labor is required to prepare the space for use the following morning. (f) Charges are made for the use of hall din ing rooms where major set-up or clean ing is required . However, the following halls are entitled to one such event each term at no charge so long as the event is non-profit. (This is due to the lack of multi-purpose space adequate to accom modate · all residents <;it a given hall event.) Case Mason-Abbot McDonel Owen Snyder-Phillips West Circle Halls Wilson Wonders c. Use of Space in Residence Halls by Other Groups (1) Groups other than the within-hall groups outlined in Section 2.b . of this policy should be directed to use other facilities on campus unless their program, meeting, or event is of direct interest and benefit to the residents of a given hall. (2) Only those non-residence' hall organizations as stipulated in Section a. (1) of the Al/ University Policy for Use of Facilities and Ser vices are eligible to request permission. This section lists registered student organizations, living unit organizations, major governing groups and ASMSU . Guidelines in this sec tion as well as the general guidelines in Sec tion 2.a. pertain to these groups requesting space in a residence hall. (3) All events planned by groups under this sec tion must end by hall· closing . (4) Hall government, hall director, and the manager shall require the organization re questing to use space to handle the follow ing: (e) Admission procedures. (f) The signature of a group representative liability and on a statement of responsibility . (5) All groups which fall under this section and which request the use of space in a residence hall shall be charged a deposit for the use of that space according to the hall's individual policy . Such a deposit will vary depending on the facility requested and the nature of the activity or event. The deposit shall be return ed to the organization when all charges for labor, set-up, physical damage , or similar ex penses are paid. A deposit shall not be retain ed for reasons other than payment for ser vices or physical damage . NOTE : Facilities cannot be rented . (6) Organizations receiving perm1ss1on to use ~ facilities will be held responsible by the hall government, hall director , and manager and will be charged for any costs to the hall or (labor, supplies , materials, University ,damages , etc.) incurred by their activity within the hall. A representative of the organization must sign an agreement with the hall manager accepting financial responsibility . Failure by the group to pay any charges will result in a hold card against the group's representative based on his or her contractual agreement. In addition, judicial action· may be under taken , future requests from that group may be denied and / or a request may be made to ASMSU to revoke that group's status as a registered student organization. - Residence Halls Association -University Housing Programs - Vice President for Student Affairs and Services -May 26, 1976 3.

Introduction (b) Payment as necessary for set-up, clean up , and damage. (c) Collection of funds. (d) Staffing for supervision and enforcement of existing building and / or University regulations , ordinances, and policies . Residence halls at Michigan State University·are in tended for the use of the students who live in them. Frequent housing of guests , therefore, becomes an imposition on the residents , and , because of this, housing for a conference during the academic school year is a distinct privilege which can be ex tended to only a few of the many worthwhile groups. 107 Residence Hall Management does not book con ferences utilizing occupied student rooms during the academic year. However, a variety of conferences are held in halls during the summer months. They are generally placed in halls not occupied by students. Conferences held between terms (e.g ., FFA Conference) utilize common areas only and/or empty rooms, and unoccupied student rooms. The following Residence Halls Association (RHA) conference policy applies only to student con ferences held during the academic year . b.

Students are required to meet legitimate monetary obligations to the University under the following regulations : (1) the Student Motor Vehicle Regulations, and · (2) General Student Regulation 6.08, which states, "no student shall knowingly refuse to meet , when due , a legitimate financial obligation to the University." University judiciaries are author ized by Academic Freedom for Students at Michigan State University to adjudicate alleged violations of regulations , and are authorized by this policy to initiate use of a hold card against a student who has been judged guilty under General Student Regulation 6.08. The Traffic Appeals Board is authorized under this policy to initiate use of the financial hold card against a student judged guilty of violating the Student Motor Vehicle Regulations . 2. Judicial Hold Cards Use of judicial hold cards by an administrative officer or judicial bqdy draws its authority from Article Vlll of the Bylaws of the Board of Trustees, which states that "Students who fail to comply with [reasonable rules and] regulations may be disciplined in such a manner as may be determined by the faculty or the Board ." The manner of discipline is specified in Academic Freedom for Students at Michigan State University , Graduate Student Rights and Respon sibilities, or Medical Student Rights and Respon sibilities. Administrative officers and judicial bodies are specifically authorized under this policy to initiate use of the judicial hold card to enforce a "suspension" deci sion against a student, and to contact a student to notify him or her of alleged violation of a regulation and pending judicial or administrative proceedings . 3. Condition-of-Enrollment Hold Cards Use of condition-of-enrollment hold cards by any agency of the University draws its authority from Article Vlll of the Bylaws of the Board of Trustees, which states that the Board "may require students to agree and abide by [reasonable rules and] regulations as a condition of admission to and retention in the University ." Agencies of the University are authoriz ed under this policy to initiate use of the condition-of enrollment hold card to prevent the registration of students deemed to be in noncompliance with a duly established "condition of enrollment." 110 Criteria for Hold Card Use 1. Financial Hold Cards Criteria for use of the financial hold card shall be as follows: a.

Except in the case of bad checks or returned credit card charges, hold cards may be µsed only in those cases in which the student has been given or sent adequate notice of his or. her indebtedness and warning of hold card use prior to issuance of the hold card. d. A current list of all University agencies authorized by the Vice President for Finance and Operations and Treasurer to issue hold cards shall be main tained by the Student Receivables Division, Con troller's Office . e . Students are entitled to appeal the legitimacy of charges placed against them through established due process procedures. Students are expected to exercise these rights at the time of original notifica tion of indebtedness. 2. Judicial Hold Cards Judicial bodies and administrative officers may make use of a judicial hold card in two cases: a . Hold cards may be issued against a student who has been suspended under the procedures outlined in Academic Freedom for Students at Michigan State University, Graduate Student Rights and Responsibilities, or Medical Student Rights and to prevent the student's Responsibilities, reenrollment. · b. Hold cards may be issued against a student in order to provide the student with a written statement of alleged violation of regulations and impending judicial or administrative proceedings when attempts to reach ·the stude~t by certified mail and by telephone have proved unsuccessful.

Within this category are those regulations with which a student must comply prior to enrollment. Hold cards may be issued to prevent a student's enrollment until the student has complied with the regulation . b. The student shall have had reasonable opportuni ty to be informed of and to comply with the condi tion of enrollment and shall have been given or sent warning prior to issuance of the hold card. c.

In any subse quent term during which the student carries 7 or more credits the requirement will again become applicable. Address Every student is required to report his or her correct local address at the time of registration and to report any change of address thereafter. Failure to register the actual address at which he or she is living , or failure to notify the Univer sity of a change of address within five class days after the change becomes effective , will be considered as falsifica tion of University records . (Change of off-campus address is made in the Office of the Registrar. . Change of on campus address is made in the office of the liviAg unit manager.) Housing Contract University housing contracts are in effect for the period stated in terms of the contract.

Each individual has the right to engage in those physical, educational, and social pursuits that are a necessary part of his or her university life . However, these rights carry with them a reciprocal responsibility on the part of the individual to insure those same rights for other residents. 1. Primary rights of the individual include: a .

The right for redress of grievances: If the academic and residence hall communities are to function in the most educationally profitable manner the right to initiate actions and referrals for impartial and fair adjudication of grievances is held paramount. In exercising this right, the student further holds the right to be free from fear of intimidation, physical and/or emotional harm, and without the imposition of sanctions apart from due process . 2. Subordinate rights of the individual are those which should be protected , but which should not infringe upon the reasonable exercise of the primary rights defined above .
