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 aca demic year-and to transfer credits to MSU.

Discuss the pro posed plan with your adviser, check the sections on "trans fer credit" and · ''transfer evaluation," and the appropriate section in Academic Programs. read · 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 "condi tion-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 sug gestion for resolving it. (See "Hold Card Policy" in Part III of this book.) IDC ... stands for "Interdisciplinary Courses." Such courses cut across the usual academic divisions, and stress a variety of approaches to the subject. Usually several faculty mem bers teach portions of the course, or numerous guest lectur ers appear. 1-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.

Otherwise, the "I" becomes a 0.0, NC, or N-de pending on the grading system. Independent Study .. .is highly individualized work provid ing greater depth of study. Such a program must be out- lined in writing, supervised by a faculty member, and ap proved by your adviser and the teaching unit at. the begin ning of the term.

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 pref erence 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 stu dents know where they stand in their progression toward graduation, which requires a cumulative 2.00 GPA. The Academic Programs 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 repre sents a level of performance below the gradepoint average required for graduation. N-No Grade ... shows failure to earn a Pass 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).

Office Hours for Faculty ... are the hours set aside by fac ulty members for meeting with students. Each person han dles 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 willing to help you with a question or problem if you will talk with 9 them. department's secretary can help you.) (If you forget an instructor's office hours, the Overseas Study ... Studying abroad can be an enriching ex perience, 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 stu dents information on other programs sponsored by Ameri can universities and foreign institutions.

Pass (P) Grade ... the grade given for successfully complet ing a course approved for Pass-No grade (P-N) grading. The course credits count toward graduation and in figuring 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 per form. Classes to which this applies have "P-N" printed be fore the course number in the Schedule of Courses. (See "CR-NC.") Permit to Register ... this card must be shown at the en trance to IM Sports-West or you are not allowed in to regis ter. 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 addi tional information, consult the Academic Programs. Prerequisite ... is something that is required before some thing else. In the Schedule of Courses you will find a col umn with this heading under which several things may appear. A course number indicates a course will have to be completed successfully before you enroll in the desired course. "Appr of dept" requires checking with the depart ment office for requirements before enrolling. "See cata log" indicates more complicated prerequisites may be involved. Read the Academic Programs and Descriptions of Courses and talk with your adviser. Readmission .. .is the process of getting back 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 stu dent in good standing, the process doesn't take long-a month. People going from undergraduate to graduate pro grams must complete an application for admission to gradu ate 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. 10 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 min imal acceptable level of academic performance. The stu dent normally gets a second chance to "make good" at MSU, so a student may apply for readmission once the pe riod of recess ends. See "Academic Actions" and ''Readmis sion after Academic Recess or Dismissal" in the Academic Programs. Regional Lifelong Education Exchanges ... give Michigan residents close-to-home contact with MSU. Both credit courses and non-credit study programs, along with a variety of University information is available through the Ex changes. During the summer, MSU undergraduates may enroll in MSU courses near their homes. Exchanges are lo cated in Benton Harbor, Birmingham, East Lansing, Saginaw, Grand Rapids, Marquette, and Traverse City. On the campus, information on the Exchanges and extension activities can be obtained from the Office of External Courses and Programs, 8 Kellogg Center, 355-0150.

If not, they will be able to tell you whom to contact. Remedial-Developmental-Preparatory Courses ... are re quired 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 com plete 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 your having to enroll for a minimum number of credits on the East Lansing campus to meet grad uatiOIJ requirements. (The actual numbers appear in Aca demic Programs, but they probably will not effect you unless you have a lot of transfer credits.) Resident...the University determines whether you are a res ident of Michigan for tuition purposes. Very specific cri teria 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 ad dress 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 assis tance. Residential Programs ... MSU offers two distinctive resi dential programs. Lyman Briggs School, located in Holmes Hall, specializes in the physical and biological sciences. James Madison College, located in Case Hall, stresses pub lic affairs programs.

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.) 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. Acceptance depends on meeting the require ments of "MAPS" and those of the college. If you feel un certain about your position, see your adviser. SIRS ... Stands for "Student Instructional Rating 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 provide instruc tors and teaching units with information about their instruc tional practices so that classroom effectiveness may be maintained at the highest level of excellence. Visitor ... a currently enrolled MSU student who with ap proval is enrolled in a credit course on a non-credit basis. You can re-enroll in the course during a later term and re ceive the credits. To visit, you need approval of your ad viser and the chairperson of the depart01ent offering the course. Fees for ''visiting" are the same as for taking a course for credit. Special Student...refers to students with class code 5. This is a catchall term for the following: high-achieving high school students; Lifelong Education uneiassified status stu dents; agriculture technology guests; English Language Center-students; and those in other special programs.

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 Programs 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 Admissions and Scholarships, but academic departments prepare guide lines for recognizing transfer work. If you have questions about transfer credits or their evaluation, contact your aca demic adviser or a staff member in Admissions. Withdrawal...means yoluntarily 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.

In general, all-University policies an9 administrative rul ings apply only to those individuals registered as students. Some, however, also apply to University employees. Where such is the case, mention is made of the fact imme diately before the text of the policy or ruling. University Ordinances: Additional Regulations The governing bodies of living units recognized by the Uni versity (specifically residence halls, sorority houses, frater nity houses and cooperative living units) have authority to regulate the conduct of residents. No such regulations are incl11d<'d in this book. Students are, however, responsible for c<>mpliance with any such existing regulations. The text~ of all regulations in ·force in a given living unit are avaibt,lc either from its governing body or its staff advisor. Students are, of course, expected to live in accordance with local, state, and national laws. The enforcement of such laws is the responsibility of the legal and judicial authorities duly established for that purpose. Conduct alleged to have violated both law and University regulations may be han dled concurrently through the courts and University disci plinary proceedings. The complainant may choose whether to file criminal charges and/or an internal judicial com plaint. The regulations which follow are arranged so as to list the General Student Regulations, Residence Hall Regulations and University Apartments Regulations first. All other reg ulations follow, arranged alphabetically by title. Each regu~ lation includes, besides the text, an identification of type; a citation of approving agencies and date of final approval or most recent amendment; and a cross reference to other reg ulations on the same topic where applicable. a.

Such regulations shall apply to all students regardless of class level, place of residence, or: group affilia tion as well as to all governing bodies, governing groups, living groups, and registered student organizations (5.2.1 Academic Freedom/or Students at Michigan State Univer- .. sity). The regulations apply to students and student groups while on the land governed by the Board of Trustees of Michigan State University or when students or student groups are en gaged in University-sponsored or student group-sponsored (student governing groups and registered student organiza tions) activities off campus. The regulations relating to scholarship and grades, University functions and services, and University property, however, apply without reference to where the activity occurs. Because technology, is con stantly changing teaching, learning, and administrative pro cesses, it is_ understood that the general principles which · govern these regulations should be extended to apply to new and unanticipated situations. Any member of the University community may file a com plaint involving the alleged violation of these regulations by a student or student group. The University through its inter nal judicial system shall maintain jurisdiction over these regulations and conduct hearings in accordance with estab lished University procedures. In the application of the reg ulations, it is intended that one be held accountable for conduct which fails to meet the standard of what a reason able and prudent person would or would not have done under similar circumstances. 1.00 PROTECTION OF SCHOLARSHIP AND GRADES The principles of truth and honesty are fundamental to the educational process and the academic integrity of the Uni versity; therefore, no student shall: 1.01 claim or submit the academic work of another as one's own. 1.02 procure, provide, accept or use any materials con taining questions or answers to any examination or assignment without proper authorization. 1.03 complete or attempt to complete any assignment or examination for another individual without proper authorization. 1.04 allow any examination or assignment to be com . pleted for oneself, in part or in total, by another without proper authorization.

This document is intended to define minimal expectations of rights and re sponsibilities of hall residents, in actualizing their freedoms, without placing constraints upon such rights of other resi dents. Each individual has the right to engage in those physical, educational, and social pursuits that are a neces sary 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 to read and study free from undue inter ference in one's room: One of the basic purposes of the University is the dissemination and applica tion of knowledge. Unreasonable noise and other distractions inhibit the exercise of this right. b. The right to sleep, the right to one's personal be longings, the right to free access to one's room and suite facilities, and the right to a clean environ ment in which to live: Optimum physical condi tions are essential as they support and reinforce and provide for positive conditions in which to learn and live. c. The right for redress of grievances: If the aca demic and residence hall communities are to func tion in the most educationally profitable manner the right to initiate actions and referrals for impar tial and fair adjudication of grievances is held par In exercising this right, the student amount. further holds the right to be free from fear of in timidation, 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 de fined above. These subordinate rights include: a. The right to personal privacy: All persons should have freedom from interference with their personal activities, and should be able to maintain privacy for other than academic reasons. b. The right to host visitors: All persons should have the opportunity to maintain personal contacts and friendships with other persons to fulfill their needs for socialization. Visitors are to respect the above stated rights of hall residents and to adhere to all regulations. Any abuse of these rights is subject to review and action ac cording to the procedures given in Academic Freedom for Students at Michigan State University. However, processes of mediation, involving students and hall staff, should also be considered as means for resolving conflicts. · Nothing in the Residence Hall Bill of Rights and/or its im plementation shall deny any individual his or her basic rights guaranteed under the United States Constitution, nor deny other alternatives for redress of grievances that are available under the individual's status as a student and as a citizen of the State of Michigan.

(See also: General Student Regulation 2 .00 and 3 .00.) 92 The protection of personal property is important to the well being of the individual. Protection of community property protects the investment all residents make through the pay ment of their room and board. 4.1 4.2 4.3 No person shall tamper with or borrow without per mission the personal property of others. No person shall, without proper authorization, re move Jny property from its assigned place in a resi dence hall. No person shall damage, deface, or destroy any property. (See also: General Student Regulation4.00.) 5.0 Alcohol The residence hall community is part of a larger commu nity, and as such, is not only governed by its own regula tions, but by University policies and state law. The State of Michigan establishes the age at which alcohol consumption is legal. Furthermore, alcohol may not be consumed on state land, except by special exception of the body govern ing the land, which in this case is the MSU Board of Trust ees. Because the majority of hall residents are under age, the privilege of drinking alcohol is extended only to those of legal age in their private rooms, suites, or apartments. 5.1 5.2 5.3 5.4 No person shall possess open alcoholic beverages within a residence hall, except within the confines of student rooms, suites, or apartments or at social events approved by the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs and Services. No person shall organize or participate in a student group event where alcohol is consumed but not ap proved for consumption (e.g., floor party).

Article 1. Purpose The Board of Trustees of Michigan State University reaf firms its commitment1 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 commu nity. 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 op portunity is equalized and to use its facilities and human re sources to develop the skills and opportunities through which members of all groups may play responsible and pro ductive roles in society. This policy is relevant ·to all as pects 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 discrimination, the Board also believes that the University must have its own internal machinery for the receipt, consideration and resolution of su.ch 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 im plement this policy and procedures. Article 2. Discrimination A. Kinds of discrimination prohibited: 1. Disparity of treatment in employment, job place ment, promotion or other economic benefits on the basis of race, creed, ethnic origin, sex, age, politi cal persuasion, sexual preference, or handicap. 2.

CODE OF TEACHING RESPONSIBILITY The teaching responsibilities of instructional staff memt>ers (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 in dividuals 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 consideration in determining salary increases, tenure, and promotion. 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 cla8s ac- 104 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 ob jectives. 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 attendance which differ from the attendance policy of the University. Course grades will be determined by the instructor's assessment of each student's individual performance, 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 re turned to students who ask for them and those which are not returned should 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 cop ies for themselves. 4. 5. 6. Instructors are expected to meet their classes J't'.gularly and at scheduled times. Instructors will notify their units if they are to be absent and if appropriate arrange ments have not been made so that suitable action may be taken by the unit if necessary. Instructors of courses in which assistants are authorized to perform teaching or grading functions shall be re sponsible for acquainting such individuals with the pro visions of this Code and for monitoring their compliance. Instructors are expected to schedule and keep a reason able number of office hours for student conferences. Office hours should be scheduled at times convenient to both students and instructors with the additional op tion 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 kn?wledge. 7. Instructors who are responsible for academic advising 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 reg istration. Hearing Procedures 1. Students may regarding an register complaints instructor's failure to comply with the provisions of the Code of Teaching Responsibility directly with that in structor. 2. Students may also take complaints directly to teaching If units' chief administrators or their designates.* those persons are unable to resolve matters to the student's satisfaction, they are obligated to transmit written complaints to unit committees charged with hearing such complaints. A copy of any complaint transmitted shall be sent to the instructor. A written re port 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 opinion a hearing appears necessary. It will be the re sponsibility of chief administrators or their designates to inform the instructor and to refer such unresolved complaints to the unit committees charged with hearing such complaints. A written report of the action or rec ommendation of such groups will be forwarded to the University Ombudsman, to the student, and to the in structor, normally within ten working days of the re ceipt of the complaint. 4. Students wishing to apJ)eal 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 ment, 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 quar ter following the one wherein alleged violations occurred. Reprinted from Academic Programs 1989-91 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 in dicates 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 standing as a hall resident. Once the student moves into a residence hall, the c;ontract becomes effective and remains in effect for the balance of the academic year. Students should consult the hall manager for in formation and policies regarding the housing contract. 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 available in the Student Life Center, 101 Student Services Building and from the Housing Resource Center, 300 Bailey Street, East Lansing, 337-9795.

Free-will, pick-up distribution DISTRIBUTION OF LITERATURE The right of students to express opinions and communicate ideas in writing is viewed by the University as fundamental, subject to regulation only with regard to the manner of dis tribution, and the identification of the author. For this rea son, student the over-riding principles governing publications are contained in the document codifying stu dent rights and responsibilities, Academic Freedom for Stu dents 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 reg ulation governing the distribution of materials (not exclu sively 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.4 b.

Registered student organizations, living unit orga nizations, 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 communication be tween 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 occupants; to protect the Mass distribution of material, on a free-will, pick-up basis, may be accomplished in the University residence halls at the designated distribution center.
