Students are expected to familiarize themselves with the Undergraduate Catalog and to satisfy all published degree requirements. Failure to do so does not provide a basis for exceptions to academic requirements or policies. It is expected that students will receive assistance from general academic and faculty advisers, but students must assume responsibility for completing published degree requirements.
Students are also expected to be familiar with regulations pertaining to campus life
and deportment, and to conduct themselves in a way that reflects well upon themselves
and Towson University. Finally, students are expected to maintain communication with
the university and to assure that their current addresses and telephone numbers are
on file in the Office of the Registrar.
Towson University is committed to fostering conditions that enable a student to complete their degree and providing support to help students achieve this goal. In accordance with Maryland law and University policy and in order to maintain satisfactory academic progress toward completion of a degree, all Towson University students shall:
Include the remaining course requirements and the other standard graduation requirements that a student must complete for a degree.
Include a chronological sequence of the courses to be taken.
Be reviewed and approved by an adviser prior to final submission.
