Rules and Regulations

University Regulations (For All Students)

The responsibility for knowing and meeting the applicable degree requirements, as well as the academic regulations of the University and its schools, rests with each student. University regulations, protocols and procedures govern all degree programs at the University. Beyond these fundamental regulations, protocols and procedures, the University’s schools abide by additional specific regulations, protocols and procedures consonant with their missions and curricula. [Also consult specificUndergraduateorGraduate Regulations, later in this chapter.]

University academic regulations, protocols and procedures pertaining to undergraduate study are set forth below. The specific regulations of the individual undergraduate schools appear in the sections of this Bulletin devoted to the programs of the individual schools. Students wishing to seek clarification of such information, or exceptions from academic regulations, are invited to consult with the Office of Academic Services and Retention. The Office of Academic Services and Retention is charged with the interpretation, execution and maintenance of the standards, policies and procedures that guide and govern undergraduate studies and pedagogy at Adelphi University. Federal and state regulations are not subject to petition.

Dispensations from Regulations

Students may request dispensations from University regulations or deadlines, only for exceptional circumstances, by filing a petition. A student may petition through the Office of the Dean in the college or school of their major for a waiver of an academic regulation or deadline. Students who have not declared a major petition the College of Arts and Sciences. Petitioning students must provide supporting documentation with their petition. Academic approval of course drops or course withdrawals does not imply a right to a refund. Petitions requesting retroactive actions must be submitted within one calendar year. Federal, state and local regulations are not subject to petition.

Code of Conduct

The primary mission of Adelphi University is the development of an intellectual community in an environment that promotes high standards of integrity and fosters respect for all members. In order to maintain that environment, the University developed a Code of Conduct,operations.adelphi.edu/policies/code-of-conduct, for both individuals and organizations, setting standards necessary to protect the well-being of the community and advance the University’s educational mission. Students are also expected to abide by the Compliance Statement,operations.adelphi.edu/policies/compliance-statement.

Student Conduct and Community Standards was established to respond to potential allegations of non-academic violations of the behavioral standards and other University regulations, while respecting and protecting the rights and privileges of Adelphi students.

The educational foundation upon which the disciplinary process is based is intended to promote responsible conduct by holding students accountable for their behavior and its impact on the campus community. Responses to findings of misconduct are intended to be educational, providing students with vehicles for growth and development and, whenever possible, allowing for responsible membership in the University community.

Academic Integrity

Adelphi University demands the highest standards of academic integrity. Proper conduct during examinations, the proper attribution of sources in preparation of written work and complete honesty in all academic endeavors is required. Submission of false data, falsification of grades or records, misconduct during examinations and plagiarism are among the violations of academic integrity. Students who do not meet these standards are subject to dismissal from the University. Please see the University’s Honor Code in The Student Guide to Life or go tooperations.adelphi.edu/policies/academic-honesty.

Attendance

只有注册了课程并且名字出现在正式班级名册上的学生才能参加大学的课程。阿德尔菲的学生承诺积极参与他们的教育计划;课堂出勤是这一承诺的重要组成部分。每门课程的出勤率要求将在每学期开始时由教员宣布。除非因疾病或其他不可抗拒的原因，学生应在每节课开始时及时到场。在缺席的情况下，学生可以要求由学术服务和留用办公室通知教师。学生有责任完成因缺勤而错过的课程作业。如果老师迟到了，学生应该等待一段合理的时间。

Credits

这所大学的学分单位是学时。根据纽约州教育部门的规定，一个学分是由至少15个教学小时(50分钟，即12.5小时)，加上30小时的补充作业(即课外工作，25小时的家庭作业)获得的。因此，一个标准的三个学分的课程(例如讲座或研讨会)必须提供至少45小时(37.5小时)的教学，以及90小时(75小时)的补充作业。对于以传统模式(面对面、课堂授课、面对面)授课的3个学分的课程，这种教学量通常是在15周的学期中提供每周150分钟的班会时间(14周的课程加上一个期末考试周)，例如，每周3次50分钟的课程，每周两次75分钟的课程，或每周一次150分钟的课程。对于超过15周的学期(例如，1月的中间学期为3周，夏季学期为5周，或Ruth S. Ammon教育与健康科学学院和商学院提供的8周的“周期”)，每次班会的时间都要相应地调整，以使总教学时间相同。院系可能需要比这里指定的更多的教学时间，但不能更少。在教学上合适的情况下，教师可以提供非课堂教学(例如在线教学)来补充面对面的课堂教学，如Adelphi的“非课堂教学指南”中单独描述的那样。

非课堂类型的课程，包括实验室、工作室、表演、研究和独立学习，可以根据对补充作业数量的不同预期，根据高等教育的常见做法，从这种最低12.5时钟小时的教学时间和25时钟小时的补充作业的常见对应调整为1个学分。例如，在实验课中，对课外补充作业的要求较少，至少37.5小时的课堂教学被授予一个学分。在独立学习、研究和定向阅读等课程中，学生参与需要额外课外作业的独立项目，并得到定期指导老师的反馈，被监督的个人活动的学分将被授予每45小时学生活动一个学分，这也是按照高等教育的常见做法。

Credit awarded for classes such as internships, clinical or field work, and student teaching, where the primary learning activity is experiential, must comply with the standards of the relevant professional accrediting organization and with common practice in higher education. Specifically: 1. Field work in Education requires a minimum of 25 clock hours per credit. 2. Clinical experiences in Nursing and student teaching both require a minimum of 45 clock hours per credit. 3. Clinical experience in the Speech-Language Pathology program and field work in Social Work both require a minimum of 50 clock hours per credit. 4. Internship courses require 50 hours of work in an internship per credit hour. Again, departments may require more instructional or experiential time than specified here, but cannot require less.

Blended and online courses in which more than 30% of the total instruction is provided online shall be assigned credit based on the credit assigned to traditional courses of comparable rigor, content and time requirements. Evidence used to establish comparability of time requirements, content and level of rigor of courses may include syllabi, learning goals, curricular units covered, assignments and faculty interaction with students. Credit assignment for blended and online courses will be evaluated as part of the normal new course and course changes approval process by faculty academic affairs committees and the provost’s office, with final approval for courses that are part of new programs given by the New York State Education Department.

Methods of Instruction

In addition to classroom instruction that is delivered traditionally in-person, Adelphi offers courses in various modalities. The University’s methods of instruction are defined as:

• Traditional (0%–29% online) — all or nearly all instruction is in-person
• Hybrid/Blended (30%–79% online) — a mixture of in-person and online instruction
• Online (80-100% online) – there is little or no in-person instruction (usually limited to course introductions, presentations, exams, etc.)
• Synchronous – the course meets online at specified days and times
• Asynchronous – no specified course meeting times; students complete work online in learning management system by deadlines specified by instructor
• Combination (asynchronous and synchronous) – there are some synchronous online meeting times and some work is completed online in learning management system
• Hyflex -课程由学员亲自授课，并同时在线直播，学员可以选择亲自授课或在线上课;courses are recorded for students who are unable to attend synchronously

The Academic Calendar

The academic calendar (registrar.adelphi.edu/academic-calendar) encompasses two semesters (fall and spring), approximately 15 weeks each, an intersession of approximately three weeks, and two summer terms, five weeks each. The University recognizes that there are other holidays, both secular and religious, that may be observed by individuals or groups on campus. Students who wish to observe such holidays must so inform their instructors within the first two weeks of each semester so that alternative arrangements convenient to both students and instructors can be made. The Exam/Assignment Policy can be found atregistrar.adelphi.edu/final-exams/absence-policy.

Intersession

The Adelphi University Intersession meets in the beginning of January. This intersession gives students an opportunity for non-traditional learning experiences including exploring art galleries or museums, intensive writing or language acquisition, and study abroad. While each course meets New York State regulations for instructional time, the various creative, enriching approaches imply great variability in meeting times and locations. Undergraduate students may register for only one course per Intersession. Intersession courses are considered a part of the spring semester and will be grouped with them on student transcripts. All relevant University fees will apply to intersession offerings.

Deadlines

Every semester students have sufficient opportunities to reconsider, for a period of time, their selection of courses. The academic calendar sets forth the specific deadlines for decisions about, and adjustments to, registration, adding and dropping courses, changing a grading option and withdrawing from courses. Meeting academic deadlines is the student’s responsibility.

Records

Student records maintained by the University are classified as education records and are governed by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). This federal law defines types of education records and how they are protected. To understand more about rights regarding the inspection and review, amendment, and release of education records, students should refer to the University’s annualFERPA statement.

Timely notification of any change to biographical or demographical information, such as changes to name or address, is the obligation of the student. Contact theOffice of the University Registrar关于教育记录的变更或问题。

Registration

Registration is the process by which the Office of the University Registrar certifies the enrollment of students in courses of study and verifies their right to use the services available at the University. Registration information is available on the website atregistrar.adelphi.edu/academic-calendar. The Directory of Classes is available online atregistrar.adelphi.edu/course-search.

Freshmen register separately for their first semester at the University. In subsequent terms they register with all other students. Freshmen and transfers are mailed all pertinent information for their respective orientations and registrations.

There are several ways to register at Adelphi:

• Priority registration begins in late fall and spring and is weeklong. It is an opportunity for students to select the courses in which they wish to enroll the following semester.
• 优先注册结束后，滚动注册周期开始。这段时间延伸到上课的第一天，在这一天，逾期注册成立。

For specific semester dates and deadlines, please refer to the University’s academic calendar atregistrar.adelphi.edu/academic-calendar.

Definition of a Student

Official designation of the status of “student” at Adelphi University is reserved for those individuals who have applied to the University for acceptance to a particular program or school and have been granted admission (in writing) and in accordance with the University policies that govern such decisions. University recognition of an individual as a student does not, however, imply or assign matriculation in the particular school or program of choice. Candidates who desire matriculation into a degree or certificate program are advised to investigate all the requirements necessary for official acceptance into their program of interest, since it is possible to carry the designation of “student” at Adelphi University and yet not have completed all necessary requirements for program acceptance or matriculation.

The University requires that all students submit proof of compliance with New York State immunization requirements (See “Admission Credentials”).

Only students who have been cleared by the Office of Student Financial Services and who are officially registered for a course as of the end of the late registration period shall be eligible to receive a grade for that course.

Changes in the Registration

After the registration periods end, students may make four kinds of changes to their registration: adding courses, dropping courses, changing the grading option and withdrawing from courses. These changes to a registration (except for withdrawals) can be processed online via the CLASS system. Deadlines to make these changes are clearly set forth in the academic calendar and can be reviewed atregistrar.adelphi.edu/academic-calendar.

Adding Courses

Students who wish to add a course to their program after they have processed their initial registration can add the course using the CLASS system until the deadlines stated on the academic calendar. Students are advised that there is a fee for adding courses and that there may be additional tuition charges.

Dropping Courses

在完成首次注册后，希望从课程中退出课程的学生可以使用CLASS系统退出课程，直到学历上规定的截止日期。

Students are advised that there is a fee for dropping courses. Dropped courses will not appear on the transcript. Students should be aware that their status as a full-time student will be affected by dropping courses if their resulting credit load is less than 12 credits. It may also affect their financial aid.

Unfinished Course Work

当学生在学期结束前没有完成课程要求，并获得导师的许可，可以用额外的时间完成课程作业时，将被授予“I”(不完整)称号。教师只有在学生因疾病或其他特殊、强迫的情况而被免除完成课程要求时，才可以使用不完整的名称“I”。在学期结束后，学生有不超过12个月的时间来解决未完成的问题。未完成转换为“F”之后的时间。这就是最后的成绩。

Withdrawing from Courses

After the conclusion of the University’s drop period, students may withdraw from courses through the ninth week of the semester (prorated for shorter sessions and terms). A withdrawal will appear on the student’s academic transcript as a grade of W. Non-attendance does not constitute an official drop or withdrawal from a course; failure to properly drop or withdraw from a course does not preclude the instructor from submitting a grade for the student on the basis of the work previously submitted and may result in a failing grade for failure to complete the course’s requirements.

Removal from Courses

教师个人对管理课堂环境负有主要责任。如果学生有任何破坏课堂秩序的行为，老师可能会要求他离开课堂，直至下课。

如果学生的行为继续干扰课程，教师可以向学术服务和保留办公室的副教务长提出要求，让学生退出课程。副教务长将试图找到一个学生和教授都同意的解决方案来解决这个问题。但是，副教务长将在所有不当行为的情况下通知学生司法官员，即使执行了决议，学生司法官员可能需要采取额外的行动。如果副教务长未能找到解决办法，副教务长将把问题提交给学生司法官员，后者将按照行为准则进行处理。学生司法官员将尽一切努力迅速解决问题，并尽可能在七个工作日内解决。学生不得回到课堂，直到学生司法官员解决问题。学生司法官员将与学术服务和保留办公室的副教务长合作，以达成一个结果，维护课堂的完整性，教授的权威和学生的权利。

Individual schools and departments may have behavioral codes and expectations of professional standards that apply to classroom, clinical, field or other settings. Students in these schools or departments are accountable for those standards as well as the Code of Conduct.

Final Examinations

秋季和春季学期的期末考试在学期结束时举行。暑期课程的期末考试通常在最后一次定期班会期间举行。Examination times are scheduled by the Office of the University Registrar and can be found online atregistrar.adelphi.edu/final-exams. Instructors indicate their final examination requirements on syllabi or announcements distributed during the first week of class. If a course does not require a final examination, appropriate course-related activity will be substituted at the scheduled time during finals week. Classes may not meet at other times during finals week without written consent of the appropriate academic Dean and Provost.

Students are advised that no final examinations will be administered to an individual or group before the last official class meeting without the written consent of the appropriate academic dean and Provost:

• No instructor may increase the time allowed for a final examination beyond the scheduled two hours without written consent from the appropriate academic dean or the Office of Academic Services and Retention.
• No instructor may change the time or date of the final examination.
• No student may be required to take more than two final examinations during one calendar day. Students with more than two examinations on one calendar day should go to the appropriate academic dean or to the Office of Academic Services and Retention.
• Postponed examinations may be requested only by students who are seriously ill or who have more than two examinations in one day. Students will make the arrangements through the appropriate academic dean or the Office of Academic Services and Retention.
• Instructors must offer a make-up examination to all students who were excused from the final examination because of illness or because of conflict with other examinations.
• All students must be allowed to see their graded finals.
• Access to graded finals should be ensured for a period of one semester after the examination was completed.
• 已完成并已评分的期末考试成绩不得留在公共场所供学生检索。

The Transcript

Thetranscript列出学生的完整学习记录。有关学生如何获得成绩单副本的资料，请浏览以下网页registrar.adelphi.edu/transcripts. There is a $10 charge per official transcript. An official transcript bears the seal of the University and the signature of the University Registrar. Unofficial transcripts are given to or sent directly to students and carry the notation UNOFFICIAL COPY.

Effective August 2021, a financial balance or block will no longer prevent a student from receiving a transcript. However, students will still be responsible for any outstanding indebtedness to the University and will not be permitted to register, receive a diploma, or reserve a room in the residence halls without meeting their financial obligations.

Grades

Grades represent the instructor’s evaluation of student competencies and course performance. Grades assigned by Adelphi instructors conform to University standards, policies and procedures. Each instructor will inform students of applicable grading standards for a course. Students may review the material submitted to the instructor for evaluation, such as that student’s papers and examinations. At the end of each semester, grades are given in semester courses. Instructors submit grades to the Office of the University Registrar within 48 hours of the scheduled final exam.

Computing the Grade-Point Average (GPA)

Earned Hoursare credit hours awarded to the student for successful completion of academic course work or its equivalent.

Attempted Hoursare the number of credit hours actually registered for by a student, except forauditedcourses and those from which one has been officially dropped.

Quality Pointsare computed by multiplying the grade points per hour by the credit hours of the course. For example, a “B+” in a 3-credit undergraduate course would generate 9.90 quality points. Quality Hours are all graded credits taken at Adelphi University.

No points are given for the “P” grade, and the “P” is not computed in either the semester or the cumulative GPA. A failing grade is recorded and computed as an “F.” Refer to the section “Unfinished Course Work，有关在计算GPA时如何对待“我”。

For each semester’s work, a semester’s GPA is computed as follows:
获得的总质量点数除以总质量小时数。
For example, 45 Quality Points ÷ 15 Quality Hours = 3.000 GPA

Withdrawal for Medical Reasons

Students requesting a withdrawal from the University because of medical reasons must submit the appropriate medical documentation and a letter requesting a medical withdrawal to the Office of Academic Services and Retention. This must be done during the semester for which the leave is requested. Students approved for Medical Withdrawal might have a credit posted to their account to be applied toward future semesters. All unused credit will be forfeited after one year of issuance and tuition and fee charges will not be refunded. Students who withdraw from the University for medical reasons will be dropped from all of their courses. Students wishing to return after a Medical Withdrawal must submit medical documentation clearing them for return to the Office of Academic Services and Retention. Adelphi University retains the right to obtain supplemental medical information. Instructions for seeking a Medical Withdrawal can be found atacademic-services.adelphi.edu/forms.

Residence fees will be refunded according to the policies outlined in the section “Residence Fees Refund.”

Readmission

Except for Medical Withdrawals, students who wish to be readmitted to Adelphi University should petition their school or college. Students who wish to be readmitted after a Medical Withdrawal petition the Office of Academic Services and Retention. Students in good standing who return following a leave for personal reasons will be asked to review their academic program with their academic adviser, their dean or an adviser in the Office of Academic Services and Retention. Students who withdraw for medical reasons must supply medical documentation as to their ability to return to school from a competent health professional. Students who have been dismissed from the University for academic deficiencies will not be considered for readmission within the year following their dismissal. Dismissed students will be readmitted under conditions agreed to by the student in an academic contract drawn up by the appropriate academic dean.

Unfinished Course Work

当学生在学期结束前没有完成课程要求，并获得导师的许可，可以用额外的时间完成课程作业时，将被授予“I”(不完整)称号。教师只有在学生因疾病或其他特殊、强迫的情况而被免除完成课程要求的情况下才可以使用不完全指定“I”。学生可以在学期结束后的一个日历年之内解决未完成的问题。在此之后未完成转换为f。这就是最后的成绩。

Application for Graduation

All students must apply forgraduation. Students should consult the university’s academic calendar for deadlines related to graduation application. Students that are credit eligible for graduation will receive an alert when they log on to eCampus. They will then have access to the on-line graduation application which they can submit to start the graduation check process. Additional information can be found atregistrar.adelphi.edu/graduation.

Students who have completed degree requirements but who have not applied for graduation will not receive a diploma nor will the degree be conferred.

Students whose courses do not end by the date of graduation need to apply for the next applicable graduation date.

A student is considered “graduated” when the graduation application has been filed and all academic requirements have been met. Notation of graduation will appear on the student’s transcript as of the applicable graduation date.

Conferring of Degrees

Degrees are conferred in May, August, December and January. The formal conferring of degrees takes place annually at Commencement in May. Students who are within 12 credits of degree completion and will complete them by August may participate in the Commencement ceremonies but will not receive their degree until they have completed all degree requirements.

For more information, please visit the Commencement website atcommencement.adelphi.edu.

Diplomas

Students who are awarded degrees are mailed diplomas certifying that all degree requirements have been met. Adelphi University will not issue diplomas to students who have outstanding financial obligations with the University. Diplomas are mailed 8–10 weeks after the date of graduation.

VA Pending Payment Compliance

In accordance withTitle 38 US Code 3679 subsection(e), this school adopts the following additional provisions for any students using U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Post 9/11 G.I. Bill® (Ch. 33) or Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (Ch. 31) benefits, while payment to the institution is pending from the VA. This school will not prevent or delay the student’s enrollment; assess a late penalty fee to the student; require the student to secure alternative or additional funding; or deny the student access to any resources available to other students who have satisfied their tuition and fee bills to the institution, including but not limited to access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities. However, to qualify for this provision, such students will be required to produce the Certificate of Eligibility by the first day of class.

Matriculation Ceremony

新生正式加入大学，成为其学位的候选人，受其原则的约束，对其政策负责，并有资格在学年开始时举行的年度入学典礼上享受其特权。

The Associate Degree

Adelphi confers associate degrees on undergraduates who have fulfilled the requirements in the University College program. The 64-credit associate’s degree in liberal arts consists of 28 credits of General Education requirements and 36 credits of electives and major course work.

The Baccalaureate Degree

Adelphi confers baccalaureates—bachelor’s degrees—on undergraduates who have fulfilled their academic requirements. Typically, eight semesters are sufficient to complete a baccalaureate, with a minimum accumulation of 120 credits. All Adelphi baccalaureates have three components: General Education, a major course of study and a grouping of electives. Adelphi awards these baccalaureates: B.A. (Bachelor of Arts), B.S. (Bachelor of Science), B.B.A. (Bachelor of Business Administration), B.F.A. (Bachelor of Fine Arts), B.S.Ed (Bachelor of Science in Education) and B.S.W. (Bachelor of Social Work).

Concurrent Registration

Normally, Adelphi will not permit matriculated students to register for courses at other institutions while they are concurrently registered at Adelphi. In all cases, the policies on study at other institutions apply. (See section titled “Study at Other Institutions.”)

Auditing a Course

A course may be audited if the student has registered and paid for the course. Normally, an auditor will attend the course regularly. The instructor will stipulate the auditor’s responsibilities in the course. Registration as an auditor must be made before a semester’s last day to add a course and status can not be changed after that date. For an audited course, students will earn no credits and the grade will be AU (audit).

Academic Advising

阿德尔菲大学的本科生有很多学术建议的来源:教师顾问、学院院长办公室的学术顾问以及学术服务和留校办公室的学术顾问。各学术单位的教师顾问协助已申报专业的学生选课，并负责批准注册决定。

Students who have not declared a major are assigned a freshman adviser on entering the University as freshmen. They advise the Pre-major (undeclared) students in their course selection and registration until they declare a major.

希望转专业的学生或对学位的计划或进展有问题，不能由专业顾问回答的学生，可以向所属学术单位的院长办公室或学术服务与保留办公室寻求学术顾问的建议和帮助。没有申报专业的学生被包括在文理学院，如果需要，可以到文理学院院长办公室寻求帮助。同样，学生在课程操作(讲座、实验、评估、工作量、成绩等)上遇到的问题，如果无法通过讲师解决，也可以向系主任办公室的学术顾问寻求建议和帮助。学生也可以在任何时候向学术服务和留校办公室寻求帮助。

在阿德尔菲学院的学术建议既挑战又支持学生，因为他们检查，决定和努力实现他们的教育和职业目标。每位全职教师每周至少有四小时的办公时间，以服务学生的利益，并提供全面和准确的学术建议。所有本科生都被要求向他们的导师咨询他们的学术进展，并寻求导师对他们的学术计划的批准。In addition, there is the Office of Pre-Professional Advising and Fellowships to counsel students interested in pursuing law, medicine, engineering, etc.

The Major

所有学生必须学习并完成一个被批准的专业。专业是一系列规定的课程，使学生在自己特别感兴趣的学术领域获得深入的知识和能力。Adelphi认识到并尊重学生在选择专业时需要不同的时间框架。请同学参阅本公报内有关各专业的资料。学生也被鼓励与系主任讨论他们的选择。All prerequisites are included in the major and course descriptions appearing in this Bulletin and can be found by accessing a degree audit atadelphi.edu/degree-audit. A minimum GPA of 2.0 in the major is required for graduation. Departments or schools may establish a GPA higher than 2.0.

Declaration of Major

Adelphi students may formally choose (declare) a major at any point during their first four semesters at the University. All students must have declared their major by their fifth semester, or after the completion of 60 credits of course work. A student may declare a major by 1) obtaining a Change of Major form from academic departments or from the Office of the University Registrar, or by going online toregistrar.adelphi.edu/forms，及2)向注册主任提交已签署及填妥的表格。请同时阅读下面的“转入专业”和“转专业”部分。一旦学生决定了专业，并被录取，他们就会被分配到该专业的指导老师那里。

Acceptance into a Major

Students must meet the minimum required grade-point average (GPA) of the major in order to gain acceptance into that major. Sometimes the student might have to complete certain pre-requisites before formal acceptance into the major.

Change of Major

随着学生对自己的偏好和能力的了解越来越多——通过课程学习和对专业特点和期望的更精确的了解——他们可能会做出新的选择。

When changing majors, students must thoroughly discuss their degree progress with their academic advisers. Students who wish to change their major may obtain a Change of Major form from academic departments or from the Office of the University Registrar or online atregistrar.adelphi.edu/forms. A change of major may also require adjustments to students’ graduation plans. These should be carefully reviewed by the students and their academic advisers. Students changing their major are expected to meet requirements for graduation according to the University Bulletin at the time the change is made.

Separation from a Major

Students who fall below the minimum GPA for their major may be placed on academic probation or separated from the major. A student cannot graduate with a GPA below the minimum required for her/his major.

Double Majors

Students who wish to complete the degree requirements of two departments in the College of Arts and Sciences or between Schools may do so with the permission of the chair of each department or School. The forms for declaring adouble majorare available in the Office of the University Registrar and after completion should be returned to that office. Double major students are candidates for a single degree only and must indicate the degree toward which they are working. If a course fulfills the requirements of two departments, the course may be accepted as fulfilling requirements of both departments toward the completion of the double major.

Minors

Many departments offer academic minors. Students are encouraged to declare a minor by the end of the junior year and must do so no later than the start of the second semester of their senior year. To receive official recognition and have the specified minor listed on their final transcript, students must complete a Change of Major form available from the Office of the University Registrar or online atregistrar.adelphi.edu/formsand obtain written permission from the departmental chair of the minor or the Dean. Minors must include a minimum of 18 credits. Pass/fail grades may not be included in the minor and students must achieve a minimum 2.0 GPA in their minor in order to qualify for the minor. While students may in many cases be permitted to minor within the same department as their major, students may not major and minor in subjects with the exact same title.

Concentrations, Specializations, Tracks or Clusters

一些院系在一个专业内提供有重点的本科学习项目，包括不少于12个学分的集中、专业、轨道或集群。他们将在学生的成绩单上被学校正式承认。它的标题(例如，光学集中)将出现在任何学生的成绩单上完成了该课程的要求，在一个专业。每个系或学校根据该学科的使用标准将这些重点学习项目定义为一个专业化、一个集群、一个轨道或一个集中。要获得官方认可，并在最终成绩单上列出专业内特定的重点本科学习项目，学生必须完成大学注册办公室提供的专业/辅修/集中、专业、跟踪或群集申请表，并获得重点本科学习项目的系主任和教师顾问的书面许可。

Credit Hours

The total number of credit hours students take in one term determines their course load, or total course credits. A full course load, or full-time status, means that an undergraduate student is registered for at least 12 credit hours. Fewer than 12 credits means part-time status. Tuition and fee rates are determined by course load, which may also affect financial assistance eligibility.

Credit for Courses

For courses taken at Adelphi, a student receives academic credit for those completed with a grade of D– or better, or a grade of P in a class taken Pass/Fail. If a student fails a course and subsequently repeats it, both grades will appear on the transcript and will be used in computing the GPA. If a student who passed a course elects torepeatit, both grades will appear on the transcript and will be used in computing the GPA; however, the credits will be counted only one time toward graduation.

Standard Number of Credits

Students who wish to complete the minimum 120 credits required for graduation within eight semesters (four years) should register for an average of 15 or 16 credits per semester. Students who wish to major in disciplines that require a significant commitment of credits or that call for credits to be taken in a particular sequence (chemistry and physics, for example) may find it necessary to register for more than 15 credits in some semesters. Students may not register for more than 17½ credits without permission of their adviser. Students wishing to register for more than 18½ credits must also have the approval of their academic dean. These additional credits require additional tuition charges.

Credits for Physical Education Skills Courses

Each College of the University establishes the maximum number of physical education skills credits that count toward the baccalaureate degree. They are:

• College of Arts and Sciences–2 credits
• College of Education and Health Sciences (non Physical Education majors) –3 credits
• Robert B. Willumstad School of Business –3 credits
• School of Nursing –4 credits
• School of Social Work –2 credits
• 戈登·德纳高级心理学研究所-4学分
• University College –4 credits

Credits from Professional Schools

阿德尔菲与几个专业学校有衔接协议。根据双方的协议，阿德尔菲将为在这些认证学校学习的学士学位课程提供学分。Such credit will be granted, however, only under the following conditions:

• Completion of 90 academic credits at Adelphi with a 3.0 GPA
• Approval of the chair of the student’s major department at Adelphi
• Approval of the Adelphi department of the subject matter of the courses submitted for such credit
• Approval of the appropriate Academic Standards Committee is received before leaving Adelphi

A student in the College of Arts and Sciences who leaves Adelphi at the end of the junior year, having completed all work through the end of that year at Adelphi, may apply for the baccalaureate degree, contingent on satisfying the conditions listed above. Before leaving Adelphi, students should consult with their advisers and the directors of the joint degree programs in which these professional school participate to be sure that the students will meet all necessary Adelphi requirements for the baccalaureate degree and that any necessary forms have been completed.

Credits for Advanced Placement

Students may enter Adelphi with advanced standing in some disciplines because of their high achievement on the Advanced Placement (AP) offered by the College Board (collegeboard.com). International Baccalaureate (IB) or other approved examinations. Students who take AP or other approved examinations should have their scores sent to the Office of Admissions. For AP the request must include the code #2003, assigned by the College Board to Adelphi. Advanced Placement or other credits mean that students will be granted Adelphi credits—but no grades—because of the scores. If a student registers for courses in which they have received credits they will not receive additional credit, but the grade will be used in computing the GPA. Adelphi accepts AP credits in most areas, usually for tests in which students earned scores of 4 or 5 (see individual departments’ policies for details). A maximum of 30 credits earned before high school graduation will be accepted.

Transfer Credits

The official transcript of a transfer student from another college or university is evaluated by the Office of Admissions and the evaluation is sent to the Office of the University Registrar, where it is recorded on the permanent Adelphi University record. A student admitted to Adelphi and holding an associate of arts or associate of science degree is deemed to have met all general education requirements. Only courses in which grades ranging from A+ to C– may be transferred; courses in which a D was earned will not be awarded transfer credit.

Grade points of accepted courses are not transferred to the permanent Adelphi University record, nor are they included in the Adelphi cumulative GPA (see statement regarding graded credit in section titled “Latin Honors”). Students wishing to transfer from any one of the professional schools within the University into the College of Arts and Sciences, in order to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree, can transfer no more than 30 professional school (applied) credits.

If a student successfully completes a course for which transfer credit has been awarded, only the Adelphi course will apply toward satisfying graduation requirements and the University reserves the right to remove the transfer credit from the student’s record.

For more information, see “Admission of Transfer Students” in the Admissions section of the Bulletin.

Residency Requirements

Students transferring from an associate’s degree program at a regionally accredited college may transfer a maximum of 64 credits (with or without an associate’s degree). A student who was enrolled in a baccalaureate program at a four-year institution is eligible for a maximum of 90 credits.

Adelphi requires that the last 30 hours of college work be completed in residence. The maximum number of credits a student may receive from Advanced Placement tests offered by the College Board or other pre-college credits is 30 credits.

修满60学分或60学分以上的转学学生必须在入学时申报专业。

General Education Transfer Policy

See“General Education”in the Bulletin section “An Adelphi Education.”

Study at Other Institutions

Matriculated students who wish to take a course or courses at another institution and transfer the credits to Adelphi must secure permission for the course(s) to be taken before registering for for the course(s). Only students in good standing (i.e. not on academic probation) are eligible to take courses elsewhere and transfer them to Adelphi. Applications for this purpose, entitled “Permission to Study at Another Institution”, are available in the unit Deans’ Offices. Students whose major is Undeclared should go to the Office of the Dean of Arts and Sciences.

Approval to take courses at another institution must be obtained from:

• The student’s major adviser
• The chair of the Adelphi department of the courses to be taken elsewhere
• The Office of the Adelphi Dean of the student’s School. (Students who are Undeclared should go to the Office of the Dean of Arts and Sciences.)
• The Office of Academic Services and Retention.

The student may be granted permission to take courses at another institution only if the student is currently in good standing and if at least one of the following applies:

• The student needs extra credit to graduate on time or to move to the next class.
• The student needs a prerequisite for major classes to keep pace for graduation.
• 每学期12-13学分的学生比15-17学分的学生表现出更好的学术成就。
• 这名学生想上一门阿德尔菲大学没有提供的课程。卡塔尔世界杯时间表

在其他院校学习的课程会出现在阿德尔菲成绩单上，但不计入学生的GPA。如果学生已经获得了64个或更多的学士学位学分，两年制大学的学分不能被接受。

If a student successfully completes a course at both Adelphi and another institution, only the Adelphi course will apply toward satisfying graduation requirements and the University reserves the right to remove the transfer credit from the student’s record.

Preliminary arrangements for courses to be taken at overseas institutions to be applicable toward an Adelphi University degree must be approved through the Center for International Education in the same manner outlined above.

Course Policies and Practices

课程政策和实践在每个课程大纲中都有明确的规定。这些都是由课程导师制定的，并且从不与大学的政策和实践相冲突。课程大纲描述了出勤政策，课程要求和评分标准。教师被要求在第一周上课期间分发课程大纲。课程大纲也在院长办公室存档。学生计划在课堂上使用先进技术(如录音机、笔记本电脑)，必须征得老师的同意。在阿德尔菲，课堂上的时间只是学生课程作业的一部分。课程要求阅读、研究和学习来完成课堂作业，也可能需要实验室、辅导或实地考察。

Course Numbering System

Below is the course numbering system used by the University:

• 100 to 299, appropriate for freshmen and sophomores;
• 300 to 499, appropriate for juniors and seniors;
• 500 to 599, graduate courses, sometimes open to seniors.

Students should note that registration in a graduate course does not constitute admission to graduate studies. See “Acceptance of Seniors into Graduate Courses” in this section of the Bulletin.

Removal from Courses

教师个人对管理课堂环境负有主要责任。如果学生有任何破坏课堂秩序的行为，老师可能会要求他离开课堂，直至下课。

如果学生的行为继续干扰课程，教师可以向学术服务和保留办公室的副教务长提出要求，让学生退出课程。副教务长将试图找到一个学生和教授都同意的解决方案来解决这个问题。但是，副教务长将在所有不当行为的情况下通知学生司法官员，即使执行了决议，学生司法官员可能需要采取额外的行动。如果副教务长未能找到解决办法，副教务长将把问题提交给学生司法官员，后者将按照行为准则进行处理。学生司法官员将尽一切努力迅速解决问题，并尽可能在七个工作日内解决。学生不得回到课堂，直到学生司法官员解决问题。学生司法官员将与学术服务和保留办公室的副教务长合作，以达成一个结果，维护课堂的完整性，教授的权威和学生的权利。

Individual schools and departments may have behavioral codes and expectations of professional standards that apply to classroom, clinical, field or other settings. Students in these schools or departments are accountable for those standards as well as the Code of Conduct.

Acceptance of Seniors into Graduate Courses

Acceptance of undergraduates into graduate courses is carefully supervised by the institution, as follows:

• College of Arts and Sciences and School of Nursing
  A limited number of seniors of superior scholastic ability who are within 15-credit hours of completing requirements for the bachelor’s degree may be accepted into certain graduate courses.
  
  Acceptance into a graduate course during the senior year does not constitute admission to graduate standing. At the discretion of the Graduate Admissions Committee, however, a limited number of credits so earned, and not used to fulfill the requirements for the bachelor’s degree, may be applied toward an advanced degree. Such credits may not be applied toward fulfillment of the residence requirement for a higher degree.
  
• Ruth S. Ammon College of Education and Health Sciences
  Under advisement, undergraduate students in their junior or senior year may take 500 and 600 level courses for undergraduate credit toward their bachelor’s degree; or, with permission of the Chair, for graduate credit (courses for graduate credit will not count toward Bachelor’s degree).
  
• Robert B. Willumstad School of Business
  No undergraduate student may register for graduate course work in the School of Business.
  
• Gordon F. Derner Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies
  Undergraduates may register for graduate courses in the Derner Institute only with permission of the Dean.
  
• School of Social Work
  初级和高级学生注册SWK 500研究生水平课程的选定部分，作为他们的必修课程的一部分，并获得这些课程的本科学分。他们有资格注册选定的SWK 700级选修课，经主任批准，并获得本科学分。

Independent Study

独立学习的目的是追求普通课程所不能满足的学术兴趣。学生必须在正常注册时间内进行自主学习注册，中途退课不得迟于最后一天。每个学院和学院都有独立学习的要求。有关这些要求的信息由学校列出。独立学习不可以考及格/不及格。

Grades

Grades represent the instructor’s evaluation of student competencies and course performance. Grades assigned by Adelphi instructors conform to University standards, policies and procedures. Each instructor will inform students of applicable grading standards for a course. Students may review the material submitted to the instructor for evaluation, such as that student’s papers and examinations. At the end of each semester, grades are given in semester courses. Instructors submit grades to the Office of the University Registrar within 48 hours of the scheduled final exam.

Grading System

Adelphi has a letter grading system. Passing grades, in rank order, are A, B, C, D and P (Pass). Failing grades are designated with F.

Unfinished Course Work

当学生在学期结束前没有完成课程要求，并获得导师的许可，可以用额外的时间完成课程作业时，将被授予“I”(不完整)称号。教师只有在学生因疾病或其他特殊、强迫的情况而被免除完成课程要求的情况下才可以使用不完全指定“I”。学生可以在学期结束后的一个日历年之内解决未完成的问题。在此之后未完成转换为f。这就是最后的成绩。

What Grades Signify

Other Transcript Designations

Computing the Grade-Point Average (GPA)

Earned Hours are credit hours awarded to the student for successful completion of academic course work or its equivalent.

Attempted Hours are the number of credit hours actually registered for by a student, except for audited courses and those from which one has been officially dropped.

Quality Points are computed by multiplying the grade points per hour by the credit hours of the course. For example, a B+ in a 3-credit undergraduate course would generate 9.90 quality points. Quality Hours are all graded credits taken at Adelphi University.

No points are given for the “P” grade, and the “P” is not computed in either the semester or the cumulative GPA. A failing grade is recorded and computed as an “F.” Refer to the section “Unfinished Course Work，有关在计算GPA时如何对待“我”。

For each semester’s work, a semester’sGPA is computedas follows:
获得的总质量点数除以总质量小时数。
For example, 45 Quality Points ÷ 15 Quality Hours = 3.000 GPA

A student who has received advanced placement credit and/or transfer credit will have the cumulative GPA computed on the basis of total quality hours at Adelphi. Example: if a student presents 120 credits for graduation, 8 credits of which are for advanced placement or transfer credit, the cumulative GPA is computed on 112 credits.

Pass/Fail Option

The Pass/Fail grade option is designed to encourage students to explore disciplines outside their major without affecting their GPA. The letter “P” (Pass) or “F” (Fail) are the only grades assigned when students choose the Pass/Fail grade options. The student will be given credit for courses in which the grade of “P” is earned, but these courses will not affect the computation of the GPA. A grade of “F” earns no credit but will affect the computation of the GPA. The following restrictions apply:

The P/F option is not available:

• to students whose semester or cumulative GPA is less than 2.0
• for courses required for a major or a minor
• for independent study
• for General Education courses
• for courses which do not allow the P/F option

A maximum of eight courses may be taken with the P/F option in the baccalaureate. Transfer students are advised to consult the section titled “Latin Honors.”

Grade Changes

成绩只由授课老师提交。Anychange of grade必须得到那个教练的批准。只有当有明确的证据表明分数是计算或机械错误的结果时，才可以改变分数。

Students who believe their grades are incorrect or unfair should:

• Discuss their course work with the instructor
• Review with the course instructor the grading policies for the course
• If still dissatisfied, disputes concerning grades should be brought to the chair of the department (if there is a chair)
• The chair may choose to discuss the matter with the instructor to try to resolve the issues
• If still dissatisfied, or if there is no chair, students should bring their concerns to the assistant or associate dean of the school responsible for the course
• The dean may choose to discuss the matter with the chair and/or the instructor to try to resolve the issues
• If the issues remain unresolved, the student may request that the Office of Academic Services discuss the matter with the instructor
• The Associate Provost may choose to discuss the matter with the dean

If the Chair, Dean, or Provost concludes that a grade was a result of arbitrary or capricious conduct on the part of the instructor, the student may be allowed to withdraw from the course. In the case of arbitrary or capricious conduct, the department or school may allow the substitution of another course to replace the course in question.

All disputes concerning the accuracy of a grade must be raised within one calendar year. Grade changes must first be signed by the instructor and then by the department chair and the appropriate dean before being submitted to the Registrar.

Academic Standing

Academic standing is defined by a student’s semester and cumulative GPA and the level of progress made toward the number of credits required for the completion of the baccalaureate.

Class Standing

Class standing is determined by the number of credits passed. Credits not completed do not count toward the number of credits required for class standing. The number of credits passed required for each class is:

• Freshman 0 to 29 credits
• Sophomore 30 to 59 credits
• Junior 60 to 89 credits
• Senior 90 or more credits

Dean’s List

The Deans of Arts and Sciences, Education, Business, Nursing, Social Work, Derner IAPS and University College recognize superior academic work every semester. TheDean’s Listcomprises full-time students—registered for 12 or more credits—who have completed at least 9 graded credits and achieved a GPA of 3.5 or above for that semester. This recognition becomes part of the student’s academic record and is entered into the student’s transcript.

Good Academic Standing

良好的学术地位描述的是学生为了留在大学所要求的最低学术成就。

• All Adelphi undergraduates, regardless of grades in their major, must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 in order to remain in good academic standing and to be eligible for graduation.
• Students who have not chosen a major must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 in order to remain in good academic standing.
• Students who have declared a major must maintain the minimum GPA of that major in order to continue their affiliation with that school, and to graduate with the chosen major. Some majors require a GPA higher than 2.0.

Grade-Point Minimum Cumulative Requirements GPA

Poor Academic Standing

低于学校最低平均成绩要求的学生或其专业成绩差的学生将被留校察看。学业成绩下降并不妨碍学生注册学习课程，但他们可以注册不超过13个学分。这可能会影响他们参加学生活动的资格，如学生会、校际体育、兄弟会、姐妹会和其他学生组织。

Students in poor academic standing may also lose their eligibility to continue to receive financial assistance, as determined by Adelphi University, the New York State Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Education. Students and their advisers should read carefully the state and federal policies and criteria that relate academic standing to financial aid eligibility. Students who participate in intercollegiate athletics must comply with the eligibility regulations agreed upon by the University and the NCAA and, therefore, may become ineligible for participation in team sports because of their poor University academic standing.

University Academic Probation

University academic probation indicates that the student’s academic performance, as reflected in the semester or cumulative GPA, raises doubts about the student’s ability to complete the particular requirements and meet the specific standards for the baccalaureate. Such students will be placed on probation by the dean of the college or school offering the student’s major. Students who have not declared their majors and are not in good academic standing will be placed on academic probation by the College of Arts and Sciences.

School or College Academic Probation

没有达到专业要求的GPA的学生，将由专业所在学校的院长进行学校学习见习。

Terms of Academic Probation

Academic probation ordinarily entails an academic contract between the student and the dean to complete a specific number of courses in a specific period of time and to achieve a specific GPA. Academic contracts normally prescribe other remedial actions, such as reduced course load, assessment of learning skills, or tutoring.

Length of Academic Probation

被留校察看的学生必须在下个学期内弥补学业上的不足。如果学生表现出显著的学术进步，或者学生根据特定项目的学术协议被大学录取，院长可以延长这段时间。不能恢复良好的声誉可能会导致被大学开除。

Notification

Students placed on academic probation will be advised of this action by an e-mail from their dean. The letter will specify the criteria used in determining the probation action (GPA or number of credits, for example) and will specify the terms under which good academic standing can be regained. Students who fulfill the terms of their academic probation will be advised in writing by their dean of their return to good academic standing.

Failure to Return to Good Academic Standing

Students on academic probation who fail to fulfill their academic contract or fail to return to good academic standing may be separated (dropped) from their major or, if warranted, dismissed from the University.

被从专业分离(退学)的学生，但累计平均绩点仍达到2.0的学生，将被转到学术服务和留校办公室寻求帮助，以确定新的专业或相关的补救措施。

Dismissal

Academic dismissal means separation from the University because of the student’s poor quality of academic attainment and low level of progress toward the baccalaureate. Dismissal is a most serious academic action. Students who are dismissed from the University will have their next term’s registration canceled, if they have registered in advance, and will have all their affiliations with the University terminated.

Students who have been dismissed from the University will not be considered for readmission within the year following their dismissal. Dismissed students are advised that there is no real or implied right to such readmission.

Academic dismissals can occur after the conclusion of any semester. Academic dismissals are carried out on behalf of the University by the Office of Academic Services and Retention. A student who is subject to dismissal may petition the Associate Provost for Academic Affairs.

Leave of Absence

A leave of absence is permission to be temporarily away from the University, generally to study at another institution in the United States or abroad. (See “Study at Other Institutions” under “Credits”) A leave of absence is sought in writing from the appropriate academic dean. A leave of up to one year can be granted to students in good academic and financial standing. Medical and personal leaves are also possible. (See “Withdrawal for Medical Reasons.”)

A request for a leave of absence must be received by the appropriate academic dean prior to the beginning of the semester(s) for which the leave is requested. After a leave of absence, students should seek readmission from the appropriate academic dean. (See “Readmission,” following.)

Withdrawal from the University

Withdrawal from the University means that students interrupt the course of their study and discontinue all their affiliations with the University. Withdrawal from the University is sought in writing from the Office of Academic Services and Retention. The date of receipt of the written request determines refunds or financial obligations.

Students who withdraw from the University after the fourth week and before the end of the ninth week of the semester receive the grade of “W” for all their courses. “W” is not calculated into the cumulative average. Withdrawals from the University after the ninth week of the semester will not be granted because of inability to attend classes, take final examinations, or complete course work. (See “Incomplete.”)

阿德尔菲保留从大学学生退出的权利，谁停止他们的注册一个学期。此外，Adelphi保留任何学生在不通知家长或监护人的情况下以任何理由从大学退学的权利。退学或被退学的学生不具有重新入学的权利。连续两学期未注册任何学分者，予以退学处理。

Academic Forgiveness Readmission Policy

Former Adelphi students who have been away from the university for at least three years who had a GPA of less than 2.0 can apply for Academic Forgiveness. The applicant would be admitted or readmitted to the school to which s/he is applying under a Final Probation Contract. The student would qualify for “Academic Forgiveness” after completing one semester (12–13 credits) with a GPA determined by the school. In no case would the qualifying GPA be less than 2.3. If the student is successful, the GPA prior to readmission would be cancelled. All grades would remain on the transcript. Credits received prior to readmission with the grades of D–, D, or D+ would be cancelled. Students must complete at least 30 credits at Adelphi after return.

Graduation

GPA Required for Graduation

Students who have completed the minimum number of credits required by their major for graduation and attained a cumulative GPA of 2.0 must apply for graduation. Majors in the Schools of Business, Nursing and Social Work are required to have a higher cumulative GPA for graduation, respectively 2.3, 2.5 and 2.75. Majors in Physical Education and Communication Science (School of Education) should refer to the Bulletin section for the School of Education for specific requirements.

Determination of Graduation Requirements

一般而言，获录取的学生须符合大学录取公告所订明的毕业条件;但是，中断两个或两个以上连续学期(秋季和春季)入学的学生在重新入学时受《公告》的管理。例外申请由适当的教务长审查。

Residence Requirements

A student must complete the final 30 credits toward a degree at Adelphi in order to be eligible for the degree.

Students who transfer credits in excess of 64 from two-year colleges may apply only 64 of those credits toward a baccalaureate degree to be awarded by Adelphi University. (See statement regarding graded credits in section titled “Latin Honors.”)

Departmental or School Honors

Students graduating with the highest averages in their major may be nominated for departmental or school honors, provided that the GPA of the nominated student is 3.5 or above for courses taken in that department. A student must have completed 30 credits in a major field to be eligible for departmental or school honors.

Latin Honors

An undergraduate student whose cumulative GPA is between 3.3 and 3.599 may graduate with honors (cum laude); whose cumulative GPA is between 3.6 and 3.849 with high honors (magna cum laude); whose cumulative GPA is 3.85 and above with highest honors (summa cum laude).

In addition to the cumulative GPA, fifty-six Adelphi credits of graded courses—excluding “P” grades—must be completed for a student to be considered for Latin Honors.

如果学生在阿德尔菲大学学习了56个小时，但为了完成专业，必须学习仅以及格/不及格为基础的专业课程，学生可以要求注册主任根据阿德尔菲大学和其他机构的所有成绩和课程作业计算累计GPA(仅用于确定拉丁荣誉)。

Requirements for Two Bachelor’s Degrees

If a student would like to completetwo undergraduate degreessimultaneously at Adelphi University, the student can do so under the following conditions:

• The two degrees must be two distinctly different degrees (e.g. Bachelor of Business Administration and a Bachelor of Arts, or a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Bachelor of Science, but not two Bachelor of Arts degrees or a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Science in the same subject).
• According to NY State regulations, the two degrees must be completed in “a time span greater than required for one degree.” Therefore, Adelphi requires that a student complete a minimum of 30 credits above the minimum required for one Bachelor’s degree.
• Students must file for both degrees when applying for graduation.
• Students will receive two diplomas.

Graduate Rules and Regulations

In addition to the Graduate Rules and Regulations found in this section, students should also consult theUniversity Regulations For All Studentssection at the beginning of this chapter.

Honor Code

大学是一个致力于追求知识的学术团体。这一追求的根本是学术诚信。加入阿德尔菲社区，学生接受大学的学术诚信声明，并承诺坚持其中体现的诚实和文明的原则;诚实:按照真理和诚实的理想行事;并坚决反对违背这些理想的行为。For the complete Honor Code, please go tooperations.adelphi.edu/policies/academic-honesty

Acceptance as a Degree Candidate

所有专业的学位候选人都是由学生希望专攻的学校和部门推荐的。作为一个学位候选人的地位取决于学生的资格和他或她希望注册的学位项目的政策。被暂时录取的学生必须向所选学校的院长办公室申请身份变更。

Academic Forgiveness Readmission Policy

When a former Adelphigraduatestudent has been away from the University for at least three years and had a GPA of less than 3.0 and is offered admission or readmission to an Adelphigraduateprogram (based on the admission standards of that program), the student will be admitted or readmitted under a final probation contract to be developed according to standards of thegraduateprogram. The student’s GPA would be calculated without previousgraduategrades, although all previous classes and grades would remain on the student’s transcript.

Continuous Matriculation

Students wishing to maintain their status as graduate students and continue to have access to faculty and the resources of Adelphi University must register for continuous matriculation. Registration is required, for example, of students who have completed all course requirements except the thesis and dissertation and who want supervision or advice from faculty, use of laboratory facilities, or the use of the University Libraries.

缴纳注册费后，学生享有注册学生的所有特权。如果学生在一个学期内与大学的唯一联系是参加研究生学位的综合考试或类似考试，则不需要支付该费用。经认证的博士学位候选人，如果没有注册有学分的课程或论文或论文研究，可以在一学年的每个学期注册连续入学，直到他们完成学位要求。

Academic Advising

Upon beginning study for a master’s or doctoral degree, students are assigned an academic adviser. The adviser approves the student’s program of studies, counsels and advises on academic regulations, protocols and procedures.

Students themselves are solely responsible for developing their programs of study and meeting all requirements for degrees. Students must therefore familiarize themselves thoroughly with the University regulations, protocols and procedures set forth here, and with the specific regulations, protocols and procedures set forth under each school and degree program.

Academic Residence

Candidates for the M.A., M.S. and M.B.A. degrees are expected to carry at least one course each semester. Candidates for all master’s degrees are expected to fulfill all degree requirements within the following time periods from the start of graduate study:

• M.S.—six years
• M.B.A. in accounting, M.B.A. in management and M.S. in banking and money management—six years
• M.S.W.—four years
• others—five years

Under extraordinary circumstances and with the recommendation of a student’s department, the dean may grant an extension of the time limit.

Credit Hours

The total number of credit hours students take in one term determines their course load, or total course credits. A full course load, or full-time status, means that a graduate student is registered for at least 9 credit hours. Fewer than 9 credits means part-time status. For federal and state financial aid purposes and for tuition and fee rate calculations, 12 or more credit hours is considered full-time status.

Specific information regarding the various types of graduate financial aid and the number of credits necessary to qualify for graduate financial aid is available atfinancial-aid.adelphi.edu.

Course Policies and Practices

课程政策和实践在每个课程大纲中都有明确的规定。这些都是由课程导师制定的，并且从不与大学的政策和实践相冲突。课程大纲描述了出勤政策，课程要求和评分标准。教师被要求在第一周上课期间分发课程大纲。课程大纲也在院长办公室存档。学生计划在课堂上使用先进技术(如录音机、笔记本电脑)，必须征得老师的同意。在阿德尔菲，课堂上的时间只是学生课程作业的一部分。课程要求阅读、研究和学习来完成课堂作业，也可能需要实验室、辅导或实地考察。

Course Numbering System

Graduate courses are numbered 500 and higher. Graduate students may not take courses numbered lower than 500 for graduate credit. Graduate courses numbered 500 to 599 are open to Adelphi seniors under strictly controlled admission to graduate standing. However, at the discretion of a dean, a limited number of graduate credits so earned, and not used to fulfill baccalaureate requirements, may be applied toward a higher degree. Graduate courses numbered 600 to 699 are normally taken during the first year, and those numbered 700 to 799 taken in the second year, of full-time graduate study. Courses numbered 800 and higher are reserved for third- and fourth-year graduate students in doctoral programs.

Auditing Courses

Some departments do not permit auditing at the graduate level and regularly enrolled students always are given priority over students who are auditing if space in the class is limited.

Students wishing to audit graduate courses are advised to obtain permission from the appropriate department head or graduate director. No credit may be earned for an audited course by examination or any other means, and no audited course may be repeated for a credit at a later date.

Removal from Courses

教师个人对管理课堂环境负有主要责任。如果学生有任何破坏课堂秩序的行为，老师可能会要求他离开课堂，直至下课。

如果学生的行为继续干扰课程，教师可以向学术服务和保留办公室的副教务长提出要求，让学生退出课程。副教务长将试图找到一个学生和教授都同意的解决方案来解决这个问题。但是，副教务长将在所有不当行为的情况下通知学生司法官员，即使执行了决议，学生司法官员可能需要采取额外的行动。如果副教务长未能找到解决办法，副教务长将把问题提交给学生司法官员，后者将按照行为准则进行处理。学生司法官员将尽一切努力迅速解决问题，并尽可能在7个工作日内。学生不得回到课堂，直到学生司法官员解决问题。学生司法官员将与学术服务和保留办公室的副教务长合作，以达成一个结果，维护课堂的完整性，教授的权威和学生的权利。

Individual schools and departments may have behavioral codes and expectations of professional standards that apply to classroom, clinical, field or other settings. Students in these schools or departments are accountable for those standards as well as the Code of Conduct.

Grades

Grades represent the instructor’s evaluation of student competencies and course performance. Grades assigned by Adelphi instructors conform to University standards, policies and procedures. Each instructor will inform students of applicable grading standards for a course. Students may review the material submitted to the instructor for evaluation, such as that student’s papers and examinations. At the end of each semester, grades are given in semester courses. Instructors submit grades to the Office of the University Registrar within 48 hours of the scheduled final exam.

Grading System

Adelphi has a letter grading system. Passing grades for graduate students, in rank order, are A, B, C and P (Pass). Failing grades are designated with F.

Unfinished Course Work

当学生在学期结束前没有完成课程要求，并获得导师的许可，可以用额外的时间完成课程作业时，将被授予“I”(不完整)称号。教师只有在学生因疾病或其他特殊、强迫的情况而被免除完成课程要求时，才可以使用不完整的名称“I”。学生可以在学期结束后的一个日历年之内解决未完成的问题。未完成转换为“F”之后的时间。这就是最后的成绩。
