[All Undergrads] Third Week Term Regulations

[UA Student Committee on Educational Policy]

Dear Undergraduates,

We hope that your semester has started well!

MIT has certain class policies and regulations, established by faculty 
and students, that you should be aware of.

By the end of this week (the third week), your professor must provide:

1. The precise schedule of tests and major assignments.

3. Whether or not there will be a final exam.

4. The criteria and grading procedures.

5. Regulations regarding conduct, collaboration, and appropriate use of 
old materials.

For a full term checklist, please go to:
http://web.mit.edu/faculty/termregs/undergrad-checklist.html


In addition, a number of students have raised concerns about tests and 
problem sets on or close to religious holidays. MIT has a clear policy 
concerning student absence for religious observances.

*9.7.3 Student Absence for Religious Observances*
"Any student who is unable to attend classes or participate in any
examination, study, or work requirement on a particular day because of 
his or her religious beliefs is excused from any such activity. The 
student will be given the opportunity to make up the work that was 
missed, provided that the makeup work does not create an unreasonable 
burden upon MIT."

You can also find the full regulation at 
http://web.mit.edu/faculty/termregs/.


Please feel free to contact the Undergraduate Association's Student
Committee on Educational Policy (SCEP) to report any violations or 
problems you encounter. (ua-scep-chairs at mit.edu)

Also, you can directly report any violations to the Faculty Chair by
emailing exam-termregs at mit.edu or feedback at mit.edu.

It is Institute policy that individuals will not be reprimanded or
discriminated against for initiating an inquiry or complaint; see
Policies and Procedures, Section 9.6.
