Academic Rules and Regulations

[Noah Jessop]

Hi All,

Even though the end of term seems far away, please check your syllabi to 
make sure your professors aren't assigning work inappropriately, such as 
tests after May 8. The earlier you report the problem, the more likely 
UA SCEP will be able to resolve it in an effective manner!

Hope we can help and thanks for taking the time to check.

Best,

Noah
