Students should be thoroughly familiar with the sections in this bulletin titled "General Requirements for Bachelor's Degrees", "Academic Regulations", and "Bloomington Education Programs."

Advisors

Students should seek an appointment with an advisor on or before the dates established by the university calendar for academic counseling. In such conferences, students should, as a minimum objective, make certain that they understand the requirements for successful completion of the program requirements and that they have made an appropriate plan for the next semester.

Student Responsibility

Students should understand that the responsibility for keeping informed about program changes, establishing an appropriate academic program, and meeting every degree requirement rests with them; academic advisors are obligated only to assist students in meeting this responsibility. Each semester, students are responsible for monitoring their progress online or obtaining a copy of their Degree Audit Report from an advisor. Students needing clarification of any of the requirements for their bachelor's degree or of any information on their Degree Audit Report are urged to visit an academic advisor or the Recorder's Office in the School of Education.

2. If an appeal submitted to the Academic Standards Committee is denied, submit an appeal to the associate dean for teacher education.
   Should that appeal be denied:
3. If an appeal submitted to the associate dean for teacher education is denied, submit an appeal to the university dean of education.

All appeals must be made in this order. Contact the Office of Teacher Education for information about how to submit an appeal.
