Advising Policies & Procedures

In addition to official University policies from the Academic Catalog, advisors and students must also adhere to numerous college and department-specific policies and procedures. 

Academic Catalog and Policies

The majority of University policies and procedures are organized in the academic catalog. Students are held to the policies and degree requirements outlined in their specific catalog year.

Double Dipping

Although no University policy exists regarding the use of single courses to fulfill multiple degree requirements, individual departments and colleges may have policies restricting this practice.

Forms and Processes

Many forms may be found online, while others require meeting with a specific individual or office.

General Education

Although general education requirements are fairly consistent across the University, variations exist according to major, catalog, and transfer credit earned.

Petitions and Grade Appeals

Formal petition procedures allow students to appeal grades and request exceptions to University-wide rules in certain situations.

Placement Information

English composition, mathematics, and second language form the foundation for all UA degrees.  Students often need to establish their placement levels prior to taking courses in these areas.

Policy and Procedures Updates

Changes to policy and procedures that impact academic advising and other unique information that does not appear in the academic catalog are archived in this section.
