Academic Policies
Academic Dishonesty
South 啵啵直播秀 State University has taken a strong and clear stand regarding academic dishonesty. Academic integrity embodies ethical principles to act responsibly and take responsibility for one鈥檚 actions. Integrity and honor function as forms of a 鈥渟ocial contract鈥 where individuals have a duty to follow the rules and norms of academia as well as a duty to ensure their peers also follow such rules and norms. Undergraduate and graduate students at the University are expected to maintain the highest standards of academic conduct; if violated, the University takes a strong and clear stand regarding academic dishonesty. The consequence of academic dishonesty ranges from disciplinary probation to expulsion.
For additional information on the academic dishonesty and academic appeals process and procedure reference SDSU Policy 2:4, SDSU Policy 3:1 and BOR Policy 3:4.
Withdrawal Policy
A grade of Withdrawal (W) may be assigned only six times during a student鈥檚 undergraduate career. If the student drops additional classes, a failing grade will be assigned. This limit will begin with the fall semester of 2015. Withdrawal grades assigned to continuously enrolled students prior to this term will not count against the limit. This limit does not include W grades assigned if a student withdraws from all classes in a given term. The campus chief academic officer may make exceptions to this requirement in those cases where there are unique factors.
Student Complaints
To comply with federal regulations, the Higher Learning Commission expects SDSU and affiliated institutions to make available an account of the student complaints it has received, its processing of those complaints, and how that processing comports with the institution鈥檚 policies and procedures on the handling of grievances or complaints. (HLC Policy Number: FDCR.A.10.030) Records will be kept with Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, Human Resources and departments responsible for student support and accountability.
The complaint process is subject to the South 啵啵直播秀 Board of Regents policies, and will follow the institutional policies listed below:
- Policy 2:4 Student Academic Integrity and Academic Appeals

Freedom of Learning Statement

Students should be free to take reasoned exception to the data or views offered in any course of study and to reserve judgment about matters of opinion, but they are responsible for learning the content of any course of study for which they are enrolled. Students who believe that an academic evaluation reflects prejudiced or capricious consideration of student opinions or conduct unrelated to academic standards should contact the department of the course in question to initiate a review of the evaluation.
Confidentiality of Student Records
The South 啵啵直播秀 Board of Regents and universities take the protection of the student and their records seriously. To this end, the Regents have established a policy that requires all institutions to observe the federal regulations as specified in the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act as amended. Further, each institution is required to adopt and to publish annually procedures that enact this requirement.
