Student's Responsibility

It is each student's responsibility to learn the requirements, policies, and procedures governing the program they are following and to act accordingly. Students should consult the Biology Department Advisor regularly in order to verify that Biology requirements are being met in a timely fashion. Although the advisor will provide assistance, the responsibility for fulfilling degree requirements remains with the student.
