August 1, 1988 Dear MSU Student: Within this resource guide you will find information on a great many programs and services that students have found helpful in pursuing their careers here at MiGhigan State University. I encourage you to learn more about your University, the community in which you live , as well as your rights and responsibilities 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 Unive_rsity 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 University. It is our hope that you personally will take advantage of the many opportunities 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, 1/}&.t6Jvl'l'Vl~ Moses Turner Vice President for Student Affairs and Services MT/sw 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 Transportation IF YOU DO NOT FIND WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. ASK FOR ASS!STANCE AT · THE INFORMA'[ION OESK. 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 University 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 . ACADEMIC 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 . Calendars with varying degrees of detail appear in each term's Schedule of Courses, inside the back cover of this book, and 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 . 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 . Audit ... sitting in on a course without getting credit or a grade . Currently enrolled students cannot be auditors (see "Visitor") . 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 sch,edule adjustments . Each department has an area where representatives pro vide the necessary cards and signatures 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. 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 it because of reasons acceptable to the instructor. The work must be completed within two calendar years if credit is to be earned. Deferred Payment Plan .. . Up to one-half the term's total charges may be deferred for students who live in Univeristy housing and who register by the fifth day. The deferred payment may be arranged at registration, and due dates . for the payments appear in the Schedule of Coµrses . There is a fee for each installment and a penalty for late payments. Consult the Academic Programs . 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.) 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 without 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." 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 Courses 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 ac cordance with your Academic Progress Plan and are ap proved by your adviser. 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 . ET-Extension ... given to undergraduate~ graduate, and graduate professional students only in courses specifically approved for ET (usually those in which the work extends beyond the term) . If work is not completed in the time specified, the ET will be changed to ET /0 .0 , ET /NC, or ET/N . 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) ... ls 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. Dlscus.s 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 n~gistration 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, NC, or N-depending on the grading system . 6 Independent Study ... ls highly Individualized work pro viding greater depth of study . Such a program must be outlined In writing, supervised by a faculty member, and approv~d 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 Programs ... centralizes the University's efforts in developing lifelong education opportunities for students who do not fall in the traditional age bracket of 18 to 22 years. Offerings include credit and non-credit courses, programs, conferences, and workshops on the campus and at sites throughout Michigan and around the world. 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 their 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. NC-No Credit ... means that no credit is granted and represents a level of performance below the gradepoint average required for graduation. N-No Grade ... 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 put 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 facilitates MSU study programs in Western and Eastern Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America throughout the year. The office offers students information on other programs sponsored by American universities and foreign institutions . The office also sells the the International Student Identity Card and Youth Hostel, Eurail and BritRail passes. Located in 108 Center for International Programs, 353-8920. 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 pass-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 Intramural-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 aQ.vanced courses. For additional information , consult the Academic Programs. is required before Prerequisite .. .is something that 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 acc;eptable 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 Lifelong Education Programs Regional Centers in Benton Harbor, Birmingham, East Lansing, Saginaw, 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 of Courses indicates these courses by a four-digit 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 $5 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 transfers 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. Speciaf 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 department . 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 the 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 questions remain, talk to someone about Transfer 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. W .. .is assigned for a course when a student withdraws after the middle of the term and prior to the end of the eighth week and when the instructor indicates 'passing' or 'no basis for grade,' regardless of the grading system under which the student is enrolled. 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.

Under President Joseph R. Williams, classes began ,in the spring of 1857 with 63 students, five faculty members, and three buildings. The curriculum during the first years emphasized agricultural science and rural leadership. Gradually the program of study was expanded to in clude engineering, home economics, veterinary medicine , and forestry; then education, journalism, history, chemistry, music, human medicine, and osteopathic medicine . Other academic charmes in response to contemporary needs have been : expan sion of agriculture to include natural resources; the extension of home economics to human ecology; the addition of programs in urban affairs , telecom munications and computer science; and the expan sion of international studies and lifelong education programs . Today the yniversity offers over 125 programs of instruction for undergraduates and some 75 areas of graduate study, taught by a faculty staff of more than 3,000 in 14 operating colleges.

PART 2 RIGHTS and RESPONSIBILITIES Legislative and Judicial Systems Academic Freedom for Students at MSU Graduate Student Rights and Responsibilities Medical Student Rights and Responsibilities The process for the establishment and adjudication of regulations governing student conduct are set forth in Academic Freedom for Students at Michigan State Uni versity. Based on the principle of student involvement, there is both a specific legislative process and a com prehensive judicial system which govern undergraduate students. To the extent that interest motivates personal involvement, there continue to be broad avenues for student participation in the governance process. THE LEGISLATIVE SYSTEM Michigan State University maintains three levels of regula tions applicable to student conduct, all of which require student approval. In addition , there are rulings established by administrative offices and policies and ordinances established by the Board of Trustees . Information regard ing the process through which the various regulations and policies are enacted is indicated below. General Student Regulations Student Group Regulations Living Group Regulations Administrative Rulings All-University Policies The above types of regulations, rulings, and policies are enacted in accordance with Article 5 of Academic Freedom for Students at Michigan State University . (See Part 2 of this book.) A brief description of each may also be found at the beginning of Part 3 of this book under "Types of Rules ." References for further information include : a. Bylaws of the Board of Trustees, Articles IV, VI , and VIII b. Bylaws for Academic Governance , Articles 2, 4 and 5 c. ASMSU Constitution and Code of Operations d. COGS Constitution and Bylaws e . Major governing group constitutions f. Living unit constitutions MSU Ordinances - The Board of Trustees is granted authority by the constitution of the State of Michigan to legislate ordinances governing the conduct of all persons on University property. These ordinances are law, violations of which are misdemeanors and adjudicated through the courts. The legislative process need not in volve anyone except the Board of Trustees, although in practice the administration contributes its advice and rel evant student-faculty committees may also be consulted. References for further information: a. MSU Ordinances b. Bylaws of the Board of Trustees, Article XI Academic Regulation - Matters of academic policy, program and degree requirements are available in 'the following sources: 48 a. MSU Catalog-Academic Programs b. MSU Catalog - Description of Courses In addition to consulting these sources, students should contact the academic department of their major prefer ence for specific program requirements. THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM Michigan State University has a number of judicial bodies which serve the interests of undergraduate and graduate students by contributing to the protection of an environment for learning. Although specific procedures vary from one structure or judiciary to another, all oper ate in a manner designed to assure due process. This overview focuses on the judicial system established through the report on Academic Freedom for Students at Michigan State University (commonly referred to as the Academic Freedom Report or AFR). The Academic Freedom Report was adopted in 1967; was amended in 1971, 1977, 1983; and was completely revised in 1984. What Does a Campus Judicial System Do? In addition to hearing alleged violations of regulations governing student conduct, the MSU judicial system also protects student rights against infringement by other stu dents, by faculty or administrators, by groups, or by the University itself. For example, the judicial system pro vides for consideration of challenges to regulations or administrative decisions alleged to be inconsistent with fundamental student rights outlined in the Academic Freedom Report. In addition, there is provision for con sidering allegations that legislative bodies or officers have acted inconsistently with their respective constitutions. It is through performance of these functions, as well as through consideration of alleged violations of regu lations, that the judicial system seeks to maintain the del icate balance between maximum freedom and necessary order so fundamental to the protection of an environ ment for learning. Structure and Organization of the System The structt,1re and organization of the judicial system is outlined in the chart which follows. The chart indicates the composition, jurisdiction, and decisions available at the different levels. Also shown are routes of appeal. Relationship of the Judicial System to Campus Governance Legislation and adjudication are two separate functions of campus governance, although interdependent for their validity and effectiveness. Each needs the other for support and criticism. The. judicial system is structured on the principle that legislative authority requires judicial responsibility. Accordingly, there is provision for a judi cial body to parallel each legislative body, depending GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE NON-ACADEMIC DISCIPLINARY AND NON-DISCIPLINARY JUDICIAL STRUCTURE I VICE-PRESIDENT FOR STUDENT AFFAIRS AND SERVICES I APPEAL UNIVERSITY STUDENT APPEALS BOARD NO APPEAL COMPOSmON: 2 unde?graduates appointed by ASMSU; 1 graduate student ap pointed by COGS; 4 faculty JURISDICTION: Appeals of disciplirnuy decisions made by Administrative Hearing Officers, the Student-Faculty Judiciary, and Student Judiciaries; non-EAL APPEAL APPEAL ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING OFFICERS COMPOSmON: Student Affairs Staff .IURISDICTION: Violation of University regulations - except academic cases DEOSIONS: .
