Academic Honor Code & Conduct Code<\/h4>\n

Acceptance of an offer of admission from High Point University constitutes de facto\u00a0endorsement of the University Honor Code<\/a> and University Code of Conduc<\/a>t; and therefore professors may ask students to sign the following pledge:
\nOn my honor, I have abided by the High Point University Honor Code.<\/p>\n

Academic Advising & Web Registration<\/h4>\n

Program Directors and program-assigned faculty advisors are available to counsel students on issues related to program requirements and scheduling.<\/p>\n

Registration for graduate classes will be available several weeks prior to the start of the term (see each program\u2019s Graduate Calendar for specific registration dates). During this time students must login to their Student Planning account and register for classes. The only exception to this process is for students who are registering for practicum, thesis, capstone, or dissertation courses. For these courses, students must complete the approval form (with the appropriate signatures) and turn it into the Office of Graduate Operations. Once the stated registration period is over, the student will not be able to make any changes or drop any classes online. Beginning the first week of class, all changes must be made in the Office of Graduate Operations.\u00a0 Students who do not register for classes online will have to register in person in the Office of Graduate Operations during the first week of classes.<\/p>\n

Academic & Non-Academic Grievance Procedures<\/h4>\n

Situations may arise in which a student believes that he or she has not received fair treatment from a faculty member in an academic matter. When students wish to appeal a grade decision or academic decision, they must first contact the faculty member teaching the course or department in which the academic decision was made; should this in the opinion of the student not be an amicable discussion and\/or rationale for the grade or academic decision, the student must then appeal to the Dean of the College for the applicable course. If this discussion is not with the desired outcome and\/or investigation, the student may then appeal to the Provost\/Vice President for Academic Affairs.<\/p>\n

All other academic decision appeals may first be directed to the Director of the Graduate Program; if the decision and\/or discussion are not amicable for the student\u2019s needs, they must then appeal to the Provost\/Vice President for Academic Affairs.\u00a0If a student does agree with the Provost\u2019s decision, they do have the right to appeal to the President\u2019s office who will then assign the case to the Executive committee and those members will host a hearing for the student\u2019s case to be heard.\u00a0All non-academic issues and questions and\/or concerns may be appealed to the Director of Graduate Programs. If the decision of the Director is not agreed upon by the student, the student may appeal to the Provost of the University. If the Provost decision is not one that the student agrees with, the student may appeal to the Office of the President. Grievances of a non-academic nature, such as discrimination or\u00a0harassment, should be taken to the Vice President for Student Life.<\/p>\n
