Purpose of the Advising Guide
The purpose of the advising guide is to provide advisers in the College of Arts and Sciences with
important and frequently referenced material in one resource. The adviser may still discover the
need to use the 2015-16 Academic Catalog in conjunction with the guide. Additionally, the guide
should be considered a foundation to build upon by attending training and workshops provided
by the Dean’s Office and other campus departments. Updates will be sent out to advisers
throughout the year as academic policies and procedures change. It is recommended that all
advisers verify information with the Dean’s Office when possible.
Advising Goals and Expectations
Goals Academic advising plays a central role in the undergraduate experience. Done well, it integrates
student course work with the larger mission of the University and prepares students for life
beyond college. It fully utilizes the value of a liberal education and establishes enduring
relationships. Done poorly, it slows progress to degree completion and leaves students unaided to
find coherence in their education.
Academic advising should ideally:
Engage students
Help students fulfill major program and University requirements
Assure graduation in a timely fashion
Stimulate exploration outside of the major disciplines
Encourage intellectual connections across disciplines
Help set goals and strategies to achieve during and after college
Prepare students for graduate study and/or employment
Expectations Each undergraduate in the College of Arts and Sciences has an assigned academic adviser who
meets with the student at least once during the semester to review academic progress and
approve course selection prior to registration. When a student enters the University, a "contract"
is initiated. As with all contracts, both parties have certain rights and responsibilities.
13
Adviser Responsibilities
Be available to meet with students on a regular basis
Provide students with office hours, campus extension, and any other contact information available
to share
Be familiar with advising tools (e.g., DegreeWorks, Catalog, CAP website)
Maintain confidentiality of student records (e.g., discussions with parents)
Provide advising approval code to students for registration once courses have been approved
Sign official forms (e.g., drop/add form)
An adviser’s signature constitutes awareness and approval of the action being
taken or proposed. If the adviser expresses concerns or reservations, he/she
should contact the Dean’s Office for consultation before signing.
Know graduation requirements and other UD academic policies aligned in the Catalog
Become acquainted with the student’s academic, career and personal goals
Refer students to appropriate campus resources as needed (e.g., Counseling Center)
Provide students with assistance concerning alternatives, limitations, and possible
consequences of choices made both academic and personal
Assist students with developing an appropriate course schedule that will satisfy degree/major
requirements and offer advice on choices of elective
Work with students to develop a term-by-term curriculum plan for upcoming terms and to
review his or her own academic progress on a regular basis, searching for possible conflict or
omissions
14
Student Responsibilities
Contact the adviser at the first sign of academic difficulty
Arrive at advising appointments on time
Come prepared to the advising appointment by reviewing the degree audit using
DegreeWorks. Bring a list of courses, sections, as well as alternative courses to choose from.
Make sure holds are lifted prior to registration date (parking, library, disciplinary, financial)
Demonstrate knowledge of the registration process by using Porches
Develop academic plan with the adviser
Read and respond to UD email from the adviser and other faculty and staff
Seek sources of information which may be helpful in making academic/personal decisions
Be familiar with the requirements of the major(s) and schedule courses each semester in
accordance with those requirements
Follow-up on campus referrals from the adviser (e.g., visit to Career Services)
Be aware of the prerequisites for each course and discuss with the adviser how prerequisites
will affect the sequencing of courses
Observe academic deadlines. This includes registration, dropping or adding a course, and
graduation application
Keep the adviser informed about changes in academic progress, course selection, and
academic/career goals
Understand academic performance standards including academic probation, academic
dismissal, and GPA requirements
Abide by the University’s academic honor code
Notify the Office of the Registrar of change of name, address or phone number
15

Students see an assistant dean for special concerns that are not part of regular academic advising.
Transfer credit approval
Academic Standing (probation, dismissal)
Medical withdrawal
Complete withdrawal from the University
Graduation approval and release of diploma
Final approval for students registering over 18 hours

Exceptions to degree or major requirements
Late withdrawal from a course after the W period has ended
Late registration of a course with instructor approval
Waiving course prerequisites
Confidentiality of Student Records
FERPA
Under the federal Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), the University of
Dayton is required to advise students of their rights concerning educational records. Educational
records include records directly related to a student and maintained by an educational institution
or party acting on its behalf. FERPA rights transfer from the parents to the student when the
student turns 18 or enrolls in a postsecondary institution at any age.
The FERPA law gives students the right to:
Inspect and review their educational records upon written request
Challenge the contents of educational records
Request a hearing if the challenge is unsatisfactory
Include an explanatory statement in the educational records if the outcome of the hearing is
unsatisfactory
Prevent disclosure of personally identifiable information
Secure a copy of the institutional policy that includes the location of all education records
File complaints with the Department of Education concerning institutional failure to comply
with the act
In order to release educational records to parents or other third parties, the student must provide
written consent to the University of Dayton. The consent form may be accessed online or a hard
copy may be obtained in the Dean’s or Registrar’s Office. A copy of the form will be kept in the
student’s file in the Dean’s Office and the original sent to the Office of the Registrar.
16
The consent form must be signed by the student in the presence of a gatekeeper. Faxed or
emailed copies will not be accepted.
A gatekeeper is a University employee who, in the performance of his or her employment duties
for the University, has regular and broad access to education records, and makes determinations
regarding access to education records. Such people include, but are not limited to, records
custodians and the Director of Institutional Reporting. Such individuals are trained regularly
regarding FERPA's requirements and how to process requests for education records.
The authorization can be revoked at any time by the student with written notification to the
Dean’s Office and Office of the Registrar.
The following three categories of information are contained in student files.
Restricted Information
Restricted information may not be released to a third party unless a consent form has been
signed by the student and is on file with the Dean’s or Registrar’s Office.
Restricted information is defined as:
ID number
Class Schedule
Grades/GPA
Class attendance
Billing statements, past due amounts, collection activity
Disciplinary records
Records maintained by the Office of the Registrar
Student employment records
Letters of recommendation
Records maintained by the Center for International Programs
Financial Aid awards, disbursements, eligibility
Directory Information
Directory information may be released to a third party who has a legitimate interest in the
information such as a prospective employer. Students who wish to have their directory
information withheld must notify the Office of the Registrar in writing at the Flyers First Office
in St Mary's Hall, Room 411.
Directory information is defined as:
Name
Address
Email address
17
Telephone number
Date and place of birth
Dates of attendance
Major and minor field(s) of studies
Height and weight of athletics teams
Degrees, awards and honors received
Participation in officially recognized athletics and student activities
Most recent institution attended
Confidential Information
There are limitations on a student’s right to inspection. The University of Dayton will not
provide a student access to the following:
a) Financial information submitted by parents.
b) Confidential letters of recommendation submitted prior to January 1, 1975.
c) Confidential letters and recommendations to which students have waived their rights of
inspection.
d) Any part of a record pertaining to another student.
e) Information specifically excluded under the Act's definition of "education records" including:
1. Records created and maintained by and in the sole possession of the University
official who made them for their personal use only, e.g., memory aids that are not
performance-related.
2. Employment records not related to student status
3. Alumni records (i.e., records about a person after he/she was a student)
4. Student health, psychiatric, and counseling records maintained in connection with the
treatment of the student
5. Records created and separately maintained by the University's Department of Public
Safety solely for law enforcement purposes
Conversations with Parents
Parents often contact the academic adviser when they are worried about their child’s academic
progress or emotional well-being. Advisers should not hesitate to direct parents to the Dean’s
Office. An assistant dean will verify if a FERPA consent form is on file for the student. Based on
the findings, the assistant dean will contact the student and parents.
18
Student Success Network
The Student Success Network is based on the premise that a campus community engaged with a
student will lead to that student's success and that effective campus engagement happens through
collaborative efforts between faculty, advisers, and support offices. In addition, individual
outreach to students and face-to-face conversations are critical so students know that there are
people at the college who care about their success. The Student Success Network is intended to
promote these important interactions by providing a quick and simple way for faculty to notify
advisors and support offices when they have a concern about a student, enabling these support
providers to reach out to students in a timely and effective way. More effective support is
expected to lead to increased student success, which in turn is ultimately expected to lead to
improved retention and graduation rates.

Under Faculty Tools, Select Student Success Network
What happens when an instructor/adviser raises a flag about a
student in the Student Success Network? Instructors can raise "flags" for students to signal different concerns. These flags generate an
immediate notification to the student outlining the concern and directing them to support
resources on campus. In addition, advisers or other support providers at the college may be
notified, depending on the type of flag.
What is a flag and when should I use one? Flags are designed to inform students when their performance is not meeting expectations.
Instructors can raise flags based on Performance and Attendance. Raising a flag generates an
automated email that is sent to the student (to which instructors can enter additional comments).
19
What is a Kudo and when should I use one? Kudos are messages that instructors can send to students to encourage positive performance in
class.
What is a Referral and when should I use one? Referrals are designed to help connect students to people and resources to support their success.
Creating a referral sends an automated email that is sent to the student and to the office or person
to whom the student is being referred.
What happens when advisers or other support providers on campus
get notified that a flag has been raised? Most flags in the Student Success Network are informational and by themselves don't necessarily
require outreach beyond the immediate email that goes to the student noting the concern and
resources available to help address the concern. For instance, if an adviser sees that their advisee
has had a "Course Progress Concern" flag raised for one class, that flag alone doesn't necessarily
require outreach. A student struggling in several classes or having other types of difficulties in
multiple classes indicates something is going on that should be addressed.
Once a student has had three flags raised in a single semester, the Office of Student Success will
coordinate with the student’s academic unit to reach out to that student. Whenever an advisor or
support provider works with a student to address flags that have been raised, s/he is encouraged
to post a comment to indicate the outreach that has taken place so the initial flag raiser knows
and so other support providers are not duplicating efforts. If an advisor or support provider feels
necessary action has taken place to address the flagged concern, they can "clear" the flag.

Witherspoon at [email protected]

Academic Information
Absence Notification Policy The Dean’s Office cannot officially excuse a student from class. The Dean’s Office role is to
verify the reason for the absence to the instructor once documentation has been provided by the
student. It is up to the instructor to use this information as he/she deems appropriate. The student
is responsible to inform his/her instructors of the absence and follow up soon after. The student
must accept final responsibility for any missed assignments or exams.
A notice may be sent for
Personal illness or injury that will require absence of more than two days of class
Life-threatening illness of an immediate family member
Death of an immediate family member. Immediate family is defined as the student’s spouse,
mother, stepmother, father, stepfather, brother, stepbrother, sister, stepsister, child, stepchild.
The Dean’s Office reserves the right to request documentation of the death. An obituary or
funeral program is acceptable.
If circumstances prevent a student from attending classes on a regular basis, the Dean’s Office
should be notified. A medical or complete withdrawal may be the best option.
23
Academic Standing The student's academic standing is determined by the cumulative grade-point average at the end
of each term. To be in good academic standing, a student must have a cumulative grade-point
average of (a) at least 1.7 at the end of the first and second terms, (b) at least 1.8 at the end of the
third term, (c) at least 1.9 at the end of the fourth term, and (d) at least 2.0 at the end of the fifth
and succeeding terms. For part-time and transfer students, a block of 12 semester hours of credit
is considered one term. A cumulative grade-point average of at least 2.0 is required for
graduation.
Academic Timetable by Semester
WEEK ONE Last day for adds, course changes, section changes, late registration, and
change of grade option
WEEK FOUR Last day to withdraw without record

Academic Timetable by Year
First Year
All first-year students receive a midterm grade report each semester.
Be sensitive to the fact that first year students will need additional help with selecting courses,
registration procedures, declaring a major, study habits, etc.
Second Year
If the student entered as “discover,” University policy states that s/he must declare a major
before the end of the second year. Career Services can help students with career choices and
with the choice of a major.
24
Third Year
Third-year students should check their official records for accuracy. They can do this through
porches.udayton.edu using DegreeWorks. The object is to insure there are no surprises or
misunderstandings when it comes time for graduation.
Fourth Year
Be aware of the time in the semester to sign up for Career Services job interviews.
Be aware of the deadlines for taking the Graduate Record Exams. The Office of Fellowship
Advising (Graduate Guidance) can supply GRE, LSAT, MCAT, and other important testing
dates and registration materials.
Each graduating senior should be aware of the deadline for submitting candidacy for graduation.
Applications are completed on-line at porches.udayton.edu, Academics tab, Apply to Graduate.
Specific dates for the following items may be found in the class schedule composite or on the
academic calendar at www.udayton.edu/flyersfirst . Certain courses may have different date
requirements (e.g. communication modules, mini-courses). Specific dates are listed in the front
section of the online class schedule composite.
Adult Degree Advancement Program (ADAP) Specifically designed for students 24 years of age and older who wish to attend college part-time,
the University of Dayton Adult Degree Advancement Program (ADAP) allows for completion of
the bachelor's degree at a pace that fits nicely with that lifestyle. Day and evening classes are
available. Tuition for ADAP is affordable with cost per credit hour discounted 40 percent off the
regular undergraduate tuition rate.
ADAP students can select from one of three bachelor degree programs in the College:
Communication Management
General Studies (not permitted for students with a previous baccalaureate degree)
Psychology
Prospective ADAP students must apply and be accepted to the University of Dayton before
making an appointment with an assistant dean.
25
Adding Courses A student can make changes to their schedule online through Porches during the first five days of
school with no additional signatures. Students are academically and financially liable for every
course for which they are officially registered, regardless of attendance.
From the second to the twelfth week of the semester, the student will require the adviser’s and
instructor’s signature on a Drop/Add form to add or change a course.
After the twelfth week of the semester, the student will require the adviser’s, instructor’s, and
Dean’s signature on a Drop/Add form to add any classes.
Dropping Courses A student can drop a course until the fourth week of the semester without record. S/he needs only
to complete the Drop/Add form and obtain the adviser’s signature.
A student can drop a course during the “W” period (week four through week twelve) with the
adviser’s and instructor’s signatures.
Beyond the “W” period the student must have a non-academic reason to be permitted to drop a
course. A written request for late withdrawal may be submitted to the Dean’s Office along with
supporting documentation.
Dropping Summer Courses Courses are offered during the summer for the 1st, 2nd or full session. During the 1st and 2nd
sessions, the drop date occurs earlier and students often contact the Dean’s Office in a panic
because they have missed the drop date. The deadline for dropping a course is enforced year
round unless there are extenuating circumstances. This applies to online courses as well. It is the
responsibility of the student to be aware of drop dates during the summer sessions. This also
applies to tuition refunds as summer courses are charged by the credit hour.
Class Attendance Policy It is desirable for students to attend all classes. Listening to the lectures of instructors and being
involved in classroom discussions should (1) provide guidelines and goals in the course of study,
thus lending direction to the study activities of the student; (2) provide instances of the way of
thinking and methodology employed by an academic discipline in formulating and solving
problems; and (3) stimulate an awareness of/and interest in the course topics beyond the levels
acquired by textbook reading.
Because textbook material is generally beneath the level of the current state of knowledge,
instructors acquaint the student with new ideas and integrate this material into the course topics.
Students are responsible for being aware of the proceedings and material covered in each class
period.
26
Students must attend all announced tests and submit assigned written work on the date set by the
instructor; it is recommended that the instructor announce such tests and assignments at least a
week in advance. The action taken as a consequence of missing a test or an assignment will be
determined by the instructor and will be based on a consideration of the individual circumstances
involved.
To assist first-year students in their transition to college responsibilities, it is felt that a policy of
compulsory attendance is necessary. Therefore, first-year students will be permitted only a
limited number of absences. For first-year students, the allowable number of absences in the
first term or in the second term will be equal to twice the meeting times a week (or four
class days in any third-term session).
A student exceeding this number will be referred to the student’s dean for possible counseling
and appropriate action. Any undergraduate student who has not yet accrued 30 semester hours of
credit is considered a first-year student.
In addition to the first-year student policy, faculty may institute an attendance requirement. This
may be done for any course (including seminars, laboratories, performance courses, clinical
field-based courses, and the like) provided that the policy is approved by a faculty committee of
the department and/or the department chair. If attendance is used as a grading component, the
instructor is obligated to clarify his or her classroom policy regarding absences in writing in the
syllabus provided during the first full week of the semester.
Let it be noted that to insure accuracy of records, every student must be present at class during
the first week of each term.
Class Standing First-Year student: 0-29.9 semester hours completed
Sophomore: 30-59.9 semester hours completed
Junior: 60-89.9 semester hours completed
Senior: 90 semester hours completed and over
Course Waiver Policy (non-disability) Students may make a request to their department or dean to waive certain required courses. In
such cases, students may be required to submit proof of prior knowledge in the subject area
(diplomas, certificates, portfolios, auditions, transcripts, etc.). At the request of the Dean’s Office
or department, students may be asked to complete departmental exams or to submit additional
documentation and records of consultation. Waiving a course does not confer credit. Students
replace a required course (the one which has been waived) with another course that carries the
27
same or more number of credit hours and is at an equal or higher course level. Determination of
the appropriate course must take place in consultation with the department and Dean’s Office.
This policy applies to all waived courses, including those waived by means of placement exams.
In addition, this policy does not apply to students with disabilities who require a course
substitution due to a disability. Students with disabilities should consult appropriate university
policy for course substitution due to disability. Any exceptions to this policy are made at the
discretion of the appropriate Dean’s Office. Determination of course waivers for the CAP course
requirements must take place in consultation with the Assistant Provost for the CAP. The Office
of Learning Resources facilitates exceptions for many students who are unable to meet
requirements due to learning or disability issues. If a student has a specific learning or disability
issue which requires an exception, s/he should meet with an OLR representative.
Disabilities Students with disabilities must complete all academic and internship requirements for the
degree(s) they are pursuing. Occasionally, limitations of a disability will warrant substitution of a
class or series of classes. In such cases, it is important to note that these class requirements will
not be waived, but rather substituted with other courses. A substitution course must be of equal
academic rigor, meet the academic standards of the department in which the substitution is
requested, and the students’ documentation must clearly support the request.
In some instances, however, a course substitution would not be considered an appropriate
accommodation. These include:
The class is an integral part of the program, major, or minor; substitution would
jeopardize the integrity of the particular program.
The substitution could not fulfill the competency required for a particular degree.
The documentation of disability does not support the need for such accommodation.
After consultation with Office of Learning Resources, students must work with their Academic
Dean, Department Chair or Academic Adviser to finalize decisions regarding whether or not a
class or series of classes is integral to the program. If a student cannot meet requirements that are
proven to be integral to a specific program despite other appropriate accommodations, the
student may be considered unqualified to pursue that particular course of study. In such a
situation, academic, career, and personal counseling resources are available at the University to
assist the student.
Dismissal Students whose academic performance has seriously impaired their ability to succeed
academically at the University are subject to dismissal. A student who is subject to academic
dismissal can be dismissed only by his or her assistant dean, who authorizes the dismissal and
notifies the student of his or her status. Students who are subject to dismissal include (a) those
who fail to achieve good standing at the end of a term on probation and (b) those who have a
term point average of less than 1.0, regardless of cumulative grade-point average.
28
The Registrar will post "Academic Dismissal" on the official transcript of any student who is
dismissed. A dismissal hold will also be placed on the student’s record by the Dean’s Office.
Dismissed students will be removed from UD housing. If they are registered for the upcoming
semester, all classes will be dropped.
A student who wishes to return after a dismissal must present convincing evidence of academic
readiness to return. This evidence is usually presented by the student enrolling at another
accredited institution and achieving a required GPA given by their assistant dean.
International students should contact the Center for International Programs to determine their
residency status as a result of the dismissal.
Dismiss/Readmit
If the student has previously been in good standing, the assistant dean may designate a
dismiss/re-admit status. Students may appeal their dismissal in writing to the assistant dean. The
student will identify the factors which led to the academic difficulties and implement corrective
action for the following term. Appeals found insufficient will not be considered. The dismissal is
posted on the student’s official transcript, but the student is not required to take a semester away
from the University. If the appeal is accepted, the student will be readmitted on academic
probation.
Education Abroad Education abroad may affect the major more seriously than any other part of the student’s
program. If it makes academic sense for the student to study abroad for one or two semesters,
make clear the department policies about credit toward the major. Discuss with the student what
kinds of work can best be done abroad and what will remain to be done when the student returns
to UD. In many cases, studying abroad fits well into a student’s schedule as long as s/he plans
ahead. If a student is interested in study abroad, direct them to the Education Abroad Office at
937-229-3514 for more information. Deadlines for abroad experiences (including Chaminade)
happen far in advance before the student will depart on the experience; it is best to make an
appointment with Education Abroad Office ASAP. Any student participating in a University of
Dayton sponsored study abroad experience will be required to register for a mini-course in the
previous semester.
Financial Aid Students are sometimes advised to keep a course which they believe they may fail under the
belief that they should not drop it for financial aid reasons. Frequently this is not the best advice.
Please note the following, keeping in mind that an “F” will equate to ZERO for purposes of
satisfactory progress, and will become part of the permanent record.
29
At the end of their FIRST YEAR, fulltime students must have completed
12 hours for the whole year
At the end of all subsequent years, fulltime students must have completed
24 hours for the whole year
FIRST Program The FIRST (Full Integrated Resource, Support and Transition) Program provides students with a
total package of academic support integrated into their regular schedule of courses. Participation
in FIRST is offered free of additional charge to a small number of students whose academic
profile and experience suggest that they will benefit from a structured transition to college. In
accepting admission to the University of Dayton, all FIRST students and their parents/guardians
sign a contract indicating their understanding of the expectations for participants in the program.
All FIRST students are enrolled in a course titled The Art & Science of Learning (UDI 175) in
the fall semester. As the anchor for the program, this course is designed to engage students in
discussion and activities that will enhance their learning and study skills. The credit hours for
this course apply toward the student’s total credit hours for graduation. FIRST students are also
expected to attend learning support sessions offered for several of the courses in which they are
enrolled during their first semester. These are usually small group, activity-based sessions led by
students who are trained as course facilitators. The sessions ask students to use the course
material they are trying to learn in order to learn it well. The FIRST Program is administered by
the Ryan C. Harris Learning Teaching Center’s Office of Student Learning Services in
collaboration with the Office of Admissions and the College of Arts and Sciences.
Grade Appeal A student who believes an accusation of academic honor code violation or penalty is not valid
may appeal in the sequential manner listed below. If the student does not appeal the decision of
the instructor, or accepts the accusation and penalty at any time during the appeal process, the
Academic Dishonesty Incident Report form shall be sent to the student’s dean(s) by the
instructor.
If no resolution occurs in the private conversation with the instructor, the student may appeal to
the department chair or program director in which the incident occurred. The student must
submit a written account, including a detailed explanation of their actions, along with any
circumstances concerning the incident. This appeal must be made within ten business days after
meeting with the instructor. The chair may use reasonable means, including meeting with the
instructor and student, to reach a determination on the accusation and/or penalty within thirty
business days. If no resolution occurs with the department chair or program director, the student
has ten business days to file a written appeal to a review committee formed by the department
chair or program director in which the incident occurred. The review committee shall be
composed of at least two tenured faculty and one student. The review committee will first select
a chair, and then meet with the student and instructor involved on separate occasions and gather
30
any additional evidence or information related to this appeal. The student has the right to see and
hear the evidence, to question any witnesses against the student, and to present evidence and
witnesses on the student's behalf. Both the student and the instructor must cooperate with the
review committee. The review committee shall make known its recommendations and the
reasons for its recommendations in writing to the department chair or program director, the
student, and the instructor within thirty business days.
If the student or faculty member disagrees with the review committee's decision, either may then
make an appeal to the dean of the unit in which the incident occurred. The dean must make
known his or her decision, and reason(s), in writing to the student, the instructor, chair or
program director and department review committee within thirty business days.
A final appeal may be made to the Provost within ten business days after the dean’s decision.
The Provost must make known his or her decision, and reason(s), in writing to the student, the
faculty member, chair or program director, dean and review committee within thirty business
calendar days. The final authority rests with the Provost.
Graduation A student must submit candidacy for graduation so the assistant dean is aware of the student’s
intention. Applications are completed on-line at porches.udayton.edu. Each graduating senior
should be aware of the deadline for submitting candidacy for graduation. A proxy diploma is
given at graduation. The official diploma will be mailed to the home address approximately four
weeks after graduation. Ph.D. recipients will receive the official diploma at the ceremony. After
the summer of 2002, students completing their degree requirements during the summer term will
receive a diploma and their academic transcript will denote an August graduation date, but they
will have to wait until December to participate in a graduation ceremony. Official transcripts,
with final degrees posted, will be available approximately four weeks after graduation. Requests
for official transcripts must be submitted by the student to the Registrar’s office. This can be
done in person or online.
To graduate with honors, a student must have completed a minimum of 60 semester hours at the
University of Dayton and have an academic degree program GPA of 3.50 or higher, based on a
4.00 scale. Determination of a student’s initial honors category recognized in the graduation
program is made on the basis of the student’s academic record at the conclusion of the term
preceding the student’s last term at the University or on the basis of the student’s academic
record at the conclusion of his or her last term. GPA is not rounded up for honors consideration.
The notation of honors is made in the commencement program, on the diploma, and on the
official transcript, as follows.
Cum Laude 3.5-3.69
Magna Cum Laude 3.7-3.89
Summa Cum Laude 3.9-4.0
31
In order for a student to participate in the May Commencement as a “May Walker” the following
conditions must be met: 1) Have seven (7) or fewer hours remaining, after the spring semester, to
complete the degree requirements. 2) Provide proof of plans to complete requirements and
therefore be eligible to graduate in the following August semester. a) Proof of registration for the
remaining requirements at UD for the summer semester, OR b) Prior approval of courses for
transfer credit at another school and proof of registration for those courses. NOTE: Pre-approval
of transfer credit is done through the Dean’s Office via a Transient Student Request Form,
available in the Dean’s Office.* 3) Obtain final approval from the Dean’s Office no later than
three weeks prior to the May Commencement.
Notes:
Participation in Commencement does not affect the official date of graduation. A student’s
official diploma and transcript will reflect a graduation date associated with the semester in
which all degree requirements are met.
If final degree requirements are met with transfer credit the official transcript must be
received by the University of Dayton registrar prior to the last date to change grades for the
term in which the student wishes to graduate. If the transcript is received after that date the
student’s official diploma and transcript will reflect a graduation date of the following
semester.
Students graduating with a Bachelor of Music in Music Therapy should consult the
Department of Music for specific guidelines concerning the May graduation ceremony.
Important related policy statements from the University of Dayton Catalog
“Commencement at the University of Dayton is formal recognition of students who are
graduating from the University. Consequently, University policy limits participation in
commencement to students who have completed all the requirements for their degree.
However, undergraduate students who are short not more than seven credit hours prior to the
May commencement may, with the approval of their dean, participate in the May graduation
ceremony. Such students must be registered for sufficient hours to complete degree
requirements during the subsequent summer terms at UD, or have attained approval to fulfill
their remaining requirements at another institution, and must provide official documentation
of work completed no later than the official date for submission of grades at the conclusion
of UD's second summer session. Any exceptions to this policy are the decision of the dean of
the student's academic unit. After all degree requirements are met, the degree will be
conferred on the next conferral date as noted on the official university academic calendar.”
“All transfer coursework completed by current UD students for UD credit must be approved
in writing by the Dean’s Office prior to registration for the course. At a minimum, the
approval process will include a review of the institution, course descriptions and course
syllabus.”
32
“The final 30 semester hours must be earned at the University of Dayton. Furthermore, a
minimum of 12 semester hours of course work at the 300 and 400 level in the major must be
completed at the University.”
Honors Program A student may enter the Honors Program in one of three ways:
An incoming first-year student is automatically designated an Honors student if he or she
meets certain criteria: a 3.7 GPA or top 10% of high school class, and a 29 ACT or 1300
SAT. Membership is voluntary and can be accepted or declined at the time of initial
registration or at any time prior to the beginning of the fall semester.
By earning a cumulative UD GPA of 3.5 or higher by the end of the first year as a full-
time student, and having earned a sufficient number of Honors credits, a rising
sophomore will be invited to the Honors Program.
As a transfer student entering UD after one to two years at another institution with a
minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher, such student may apply directly to the
University Honors Program where their Honors credits will be negotiated on a case-by-
case basis.
To graduate with the honors or honors with distinction diploma, a student must amass either 15
or 21 Honors credits. These honors credits may be obtained in a variety of ways.
Also visit www.udayton.edu/honors for details on becoming eligible for the University Honors
program and for more information on remaining in good standing with the programs.
Medical Withdrawal A medical withdrawal occurs when a student is physically or psychologically unable to finish the
semester. If this occurs, the student should contact his/her assistant dean and provide
documentation from a physician or psychologist. Once documentation has been verified, the
assistant dean will drop all classes for the student and the semester will not have a negative
impact on the overall class standing. Financially, the student must work with the Bursar to see if
a refund or credit is in order. In order to re-enroll, a medical release from a physician or
psychologist must be provided recommending the student’s return to campus. A medical
withdrawal is not indicated on the official transcript.
Mini-Courses Mini-courses are special, short-term, interdisciplinary credit hours developed by UD faculty to
meet specific needs or interests not covered in the regular curricula. The typical mini-course
carries one semester hour of credit. Occurring at various times in the year, mini-courses are
administered by Special Programs and Continuing Education. The classes are free of charge to
all full-time students – even if it puts the student over the full-time limit, therefore they are an
excellent opportunity to assist in getting an advisee’s credit hour numbers up. There is no limit
on the number of UDI courses a student may take.
33
Office of Learning Resources The OLR focuses on two specific areas for UD students – Learning Support and Disability
Services. Students who wish to receive accommodations must register with the OLR. Call
937-229-2066 for information. Additionally, OLR will work with advisers, faculty, and staff in
creating a plan for students. See http://www.udayton.edu/ltc/learningresources/index.php for
special courses and opportunities offered for students with various learning styles in different
OLR groups.
Probation A cumulative grade-point average below the one required will place the student on academic
probation. The assistant dean will notify the student of his or her probationary status via email
and also with an official letter mailed to a permanent address. A copy of the letter is placed in the
student's file in the Dean’s Office. The status will also appear in DegreeWorks. Academic
probation does not appear on the transcript. Students on probation are required to meet with
their assistant dean to sign a probation contract. Students on probation are instructed to continue
regular meetings with the assistant dean throughout the semester. A student on probation must
follow a restricted academic program not to exceed 15 semester hours. They are also encouraged
to limit social activities. For student athletes, probation may limit participation in sporting
events.
Residency Requirement Although the University of Dayton accepts many courses from other accredited institutions, there
are a certain number of courses which must be completed at UD. If a student transfers from a
two year institution, a minimum of 54 semester hours from a four year institution must be
completed for any baccalaureate degree. For all students, the last 30 semester hours must be
completed at UD. The student should make an appointment with an assistant dean if there is a
concern regarding the residency requirement.
Retake Policy An undergraduate student who receives a grade of D or F in a course may retake that course at
the University of Dayton and remove the original D or F from the cumulative GPA. When a
course has been retaken and the subsequent grade is higher than or equal to the previous grade,
the previous grade will not count towards the student's cumulative GPA henceforth. There will
be no retroactive adjustment to GPAs. The transcript will reflect this event with a notation of
"same as" in the line containing the original grade. When a course in which a D was received has
been retaken, and an F is earned, the initial D will be used in the student's cumulative GPA
calculation, and the line containing the F will receive the notation of "same as".
A student may have no more than 15 semester hours of "retaken" grades. Requests for
exceptions to this policy should be discussed with an assistant dean. When a student retakes a
course in which s/he received a C- or better, the original grade does not drop from the GPA.
Rather, the two grades are averaged. If a student retakes a course in which the topics vary, it
must be demonstrated that the retaken course contains the same material as the original course in
34
which the student received a D or F. Courses taken by students prior to the initiation of this
policy, and before completion of an undergraduate degree, may be retaken within the guidelines
of this policy.
Addendum to Retake Policy When a student retakes a course which s/he has taken more than once previously, the retaken
course will serve to replace both previous grades (if it is the same as or higher than each). The
number of "retaken hours" will be counted as the total hours for the two courses in which the
grades are replaced; e.g., if a student retakes PSY 101 in which s/he had previously earned F two
times, the new passing grade will replace both Fs, but will count as 6 credit hours taken instead
of 3. This student will then be able to take up to 9 additional course grades.
Satisfactory/No Credit A student may take any course beyond the minimum hours required for graduation in the degree
program for Satisfactory/No Credit. Students who receive what would be considered a C- or
above will qualify for a grade of “Satisfactory.” Anything below receives “No Credit.” A
passing grade (S) is awarded credit, but is not computed in the grade-point average. When a no
credit grade (NC) is given the grade is not computed in the grade-point average, but will be noted
on the transcript.
Supplemental Instruction Participants are first year students identified by the Office of Admissions based on a careful
review of the academic profile of the student from high school as well as ACT/SAT scores. SI
includes designated times outside of regular class meetings for peer-facilitated study groups to
review course material presented by the instructor.
SI is offered in selected sections of MTH 114, REL 103, HST 103, and PHL103 and is required
as part of the student’s acceptance to the University of Dayton. Students are not permitted to
drop SI courses without approval from the Dean’s Office.
Optional Supplemental Instruction is available in designated sections of CHM 123 and CHM 124
for science majors.
35
Transfer Credit Policy All transfer coursework completed by current UD students for UD credit must be approved in
writing by the Dean’s Office prior to registration for the course. No credit will be granted when
a student fails to receive prior written approval by the Dean’s Office or fails to provide
official transcripts sent to UD directly from the approved university.
The student will complete a Transfer Credit Pre-Authorization form and attach course
descriptions to the back of the form.
After review by an assistant dean, the student will pick up the form within 5 business days
from the Dean’s Office.
At a minimum, the approval process will include a review of the institution, course
descriptions and course syllabi.
Consideration for credit will only be given to transfer courses with a grade of C- or better.
Courses taken in the U.S. must be completed at a regionally accredited institution. Courses
taken outside the U.S. must be completed at an institution recognized by the country's
minister/head of education.
Official transcripts must be sent directly to UD from the university and must contain an
official seal of the university's office of academic affairs. Other requirements may be
necessary (i.e. School of Business courses need to be taken at an AACSB accredited
institution) given the specific course in question.
Detailed guidelines for equating of any transfer credit to the following CAP courses are
followed.
CMM 100 Oral Communication CMM 100 is recognized as a distinctive course with very specific content. Transfer credit for the
CAP Oral Communication component should be allowed only when it determined through
appropriate procedures that the course to be transferred is equivalent to CMM 100. In other
words, a generic introductory course in oral communication or public speaking would not
normally be granted transfer credit.
ENG 200 Writing Seminar II CAP transfer credit is permitted for ENG 200 even when the credit to be transferred was not
earned in the student’s second year of college or university study. That is, the transferability of
credit for ENG 200 in CAP should be handled as transferability was handled for ENG 102 in the
former General Education Program.
SSC 200 Integrated Social Science Students who enter UD in the 2015-16 academic year and beyond must complete the CAP
approved SSC 200 course. They are encouraged to complete the SSC 200, during their second
year. Transfer credit for the SSC 200 course will be rare, and only accepted for this component
through a review by the Dean’s Office.
36
Tuition The 18th Credit Hour: First-year students who enter the University in fall are granted an
eighteenth credit hour for free to cover the ASI 150/160 course. This is the only time first year
students may take 18 academic hours without the additional charge. There are exceptions for
cultural and participator courses. Typically, juniors and seniors may take an eighteenth hour
without an additional charge IF the student has COMPLETED 45 credit hours before the first
day of registration for the next term.
If registration is cancelled before the first day of classes, full refunds will be made, with the
exception of housing and admission deposits. Cancellations may be made through the Dean’s or
Registration Offices. For non-local students, a letter or email to the appropriate Dean may be
used as notification of cancellation. Students who do not attend classes and do not officially
complete withdrawal procedures during the cancellation period will be responsible for the full
amount of the applicable tuition and fees. During the three-week cancellation period for the first
and second terms, tuition credits will be given. Please have the student contact the Office of
Financial Aid if additional information is needed. All tuition refund requests and appeals must
be in writing and directed to the attention of the Bursar.
37
Credit by Exam The University offers credit by exam for Advanced Placement, CLEP, International
Baccalaureate, and occasionally for departmental exams in certain areas. Review the details at
https://www.udayton.edu/academics/undergraduate/credit-by-exam.php
Advanced Placement (AP) Credit The AP program recognizes college-level work completed in high school by individual students.
Courses are taught to qualified high school students. Examinations are given upon completion of
the material in May of the academic year. Students interested in participating in this program and
examination should consult their guidance counselors to determine the availability of the
program at their particular high school. Students wishing to receive credit and advanced
placement under this program should have test scores sent to the University of Dayton by calling
The College Board at 1-888-225-5427. The College Board code for UD is 183
38

40
College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
College credit toward a bachelor's degree may be awarded by successfully completing some subject tests
of the CLEP. Since not all examinations are acceptable and some subject examinations require an essay,
please contact the University of Dayton for information. No credit is given for general examinations.
CLEP examinations are administered at 1,400 test centers nationwide. Visit the CLEP section of the
College Board's Web site for the test center nearest you. If you are enrolling in the fall term, the April or
May testing dates are advised. After your scores have been received at the University of Dayton, we will
contact you concerning any credit you have earned.
The University of Dayton is a testing site for CLEP. At any time throughout your college career, you
may take a CLEP examination to test your knowledge prior to registering for a class. For more
information, contact the testing administrator in Testing Services at 937-229-3277.
41
International Baccalaureate (IB)
The International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma is a rigorous pre-university course of studies
leading to examinations. Each examined subject is graded on a scale of one (minimum) to seven
(maximum). Diploma candidates are required to select one subject from each of the six available
groups. At least three and not more than four subjects are taken at higher level and the others at
standard level.
IB at the University of Dayton is administered through the Dean’s Office in the College of Arts
and Sciences. Students who submit results of IB higher level examinations may be eligible to
receive transfer credit. No credit is awarded for standard level examinations.
42
First Year Experience
Introduction to the University (ASI 150) In the first semester, all students with a declared major are required to take ASI 150. Transfer
students and IEP students are waived from taking the course. ASI 150 is designed to introduce
first year students to their major and the University as well as assist with the transition from high
school to college. The course meets once a week on Tuesday or Thursday from 12:30 pm-1:45
pm. Students in the Department of Arts and Design enroll in VAR 100 – Visual Arts
Foundation.
First Year Seminar for Discovering Students (ASI 160) Students admitted to the University as Discover Arts are required to enroll in ASI 160 which
meets twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday from 12:30-1:45 pm. ASI 160 is designed to help
students get adjusted to college life and build skills and behaviors for success in college. This
course is designed to give students an opportunity to think proactively around goal setting,
selecting a major and creating tools to be successful at UD. A twice a week meeting time blends
curricular and co-curricular components and is necessary to cultivate student success.
The instructor assigned to ASI 160 will also be the student’s academic adviser and will remain so
until the student declares a major.
Topics covered in ASI 150/160:
Identify at least one possible major (ASI 160)
Campus resources, activities, and services available to foster academic success and growth.
At least one opportunity to study abroad, participate in a cultural immersion or other
experience outside of the United States
Registration using Porches and DegreeWorks
The Common Academic Program
Degree requirements for Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science
GPA and course requirements for declaring a major within the College of Arts and Sciences or a
major in one of the professional schools (ASI 160)
Academic Honor Code
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
Strategies and techniques for personal learning effectiveness
Outline personal and academic goals and academic plan for graduation
Sexual Violence Prevention/Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention
Discovering Students During the first two years at UD a student can defer the declaration of a specific major by
participating in the Discover Arts or Discover Science program. These programs allow students
the time to explore possible majors while making academic progress. In both programs students
enroll in the first year humanities commons courses which are required for all University of
Dayton degrees.
43
Discover Arts Students in the Discover Arts program enroll in additional humanities, social sciences and
mathematics courses that prepare them for future work in business, education, social science, and
liberal arts related majors. The program allows students to explore all Bachelor of Arts majors in
the College and allows students with the goal of transferring to a School of Business major the
opportunity to meet transfer requirements while exploring.
Discover Science Students in the Discover Science program enroll in science and mathematics courses that prepare
them for future work in science, engineering, or health care related majors. The program allows
students to explore all Bachelor of Science majors in the College and allows students with the
goal of transferring to Engineering or Health Sciences majors the opportunity to meet transfer
requirements while exploring.
Resources for ASI 150/160 ASI 150/160 is not only about getting to know the College of Arts and Sciences, but it is also a
about getting to know the University of Dayton. There are many resources on campus that are
available to students. Consider inviting one of these guest speakers to your class or attending an

Choosing a Major The College requires that students be admitted into a major by the end of the fourth semester.
This means that students have two years to explore various possibilities and become eligible for
a major. Each department outlines the prerequisites and requirements for its major in the 2015-
2016 Catalog.
Students will be spending roughly half their time in the junior and senior years taking courses
related to their major. For that reason, they should love or at least enjoy their major field.
Sometimes students think that for a specific professional goal such as medicine, law, or business,
they must major in a particular subject. This is hardly ever the case. Much more important is
choosing a major in which they will flourish. The major should involve work that excites them
and captures their imagination.
For some students, choosing a major is relatively easy. For others it is difficult because so many
subjects are interesting. The adviser can remind the undecided student that majors are a
requirement for graduation, a vehicle for sharpening analytic and imaginative skills and for
ensuring that s/he learns enough about something to be able to ask good questions and
create/recognize good evidence and arguments. Majors are not full reflections of intellect or
interests and are often unrelated to careers. The important thing is that the student enjoys
thinking about and working in the subject.
Declaring a Major in the College of Arts and Sciences The College of Arts and Sciences is the largest academic unit at the University of Dayton with
over 50 undergraduate and graduate degree programs with the broadest range of subjects and
options. Potential employers value our commitment to educating the whole person, while
graduate and professional schools find our students well-prepared to meet the challenges of post-
graduate education.
To declare a major in the College, students must meet with the department chair, program
director or faculty adviser. A change of major form will be completed at the time of the
appointment and will be sent to the Dean’s Office. A cumulative UD GPA of 2.0 must be
achieved in the major. A faculty adviser will also be assigned to the student. The faculty adviser
assists in selecting courses and provides expertise in the field of study.
Declaring a Major in the Professional Schools Students who wish to transfer from the College of Arts and Sciences to the professional schools
must first meet the various GPA and course requirements outlined below. Advisers in the
College should not approve registration for major courses in another academic unit. If the
student states that s/he is “in the process” of changing their major, encourage the student to
change ASAP and begin to work with the new adviser who will be familiar with the
requirements in the new major. It does not benefit the student if the adviser is forced to work
outside of a realm of expertise.
50
School of Business Administration Students seeking to transfer into the School of Business Administration from other academic unit
should contact the SBA Center for Academic Success in Miriam Hall 108. Students must first
attend an initial internal transfer meeting with an adviser. Students wishing to transfer must have
a minimum cumulative UD GPA of 2.7 and have successfully completed a UD math course,
such as a UD Calculus class, a C+ or higher in MTH 116 or MTH 128, or a B- or higher in MTH
207. Math courses taken at other colleges or universities will not be considered.
School of Education and Health Sciences The only EDT class a student can take before admittance into the major is EDT 110 and the
accompanying laboratory (which is a field observation experience at a school called EDT 110L)
A minimum cumulative UD GPA of 2.75 is required to transfer into Teacher Education.
Students may contact the School of Education at 937-229-3102 or visit the office in Fitz Hall

FAQS
The following offer answers to questions that students have often asked while undecided.
When do I need to make a decision about my major?
As a student at UD, you are required to declare a major by the end of the fourth semester.
Typically, this will occur by the end of the sophomore year. It is strongly recommended,
however, that you set a goal to choose your major by late March of your freshman year. That is
when you will be pre-registering for your sophomore fall semester classes. Some students do not
make their major decision until they are sophomores, and others decide to change their major as
late as the sophomore year. Many of these students still graduate in four years. While this can be
done in some cases, it is important to note that there is no guarantee for this. It depends very
much on what courses you have taken and the curriculum requirements of the major you choose.
Thus, while you may be able to have more time, it is best to decide by the end of your freshman
year.
Can I start out undecided at UD and graduate in four years?
Yes! You definitely can start at UD as an undecided student, choose your major, and graduate in
four years. Obviously, there is a limit as to how long you can stay undeclared and still be able to
complete your bachelor’s degree requirements on time. It always depends on what courses you
have taken and what major you choose. If you decide on your major by the end of your freshman
year, you should be able to graduate in four years. It is very important for undeclared students to
take courses that will keep their options open. Always see your academic adviser for help in
course selection while you are exploring your major choices. And, it is important to begin your
exploration process early in your first semester.

53
What courses should I take while I am undecided?
Undeclared students should take courses from two categories: introductory courses in majors of
potential interest and common academic program (CAP) courses that are broadly applicable to
the requirements of many majors. Your academic adviser will help you select the appropriate
courses.
Where can I get help for choosing my major?
On the University of Dayton’s campus, you will find many services and resources available to
help you throughout your major exploration process. There are academic advisers, counselors
through Career Services, professors, fairs and expos, libraries, workshops, the Counseling Center
or the Catalog.
How will I know when I’ve chosen the right major?
For most students, there may not be just one right major. Unless you decide to pursue a career in
a field that requires a specific degree (i.e. physical therapy, elementary education), you actually
have a lot of flexibility in choosing your major. Thus, there could be several majors that would
be good choices. For this reason, it is important to consider both the academic and career aspects
of prospective majors. First, you need to learn about the degree requirements, course
descriptions, faculty, and related career fields. Then, you should utilize some decision-making
tools to evaluate your alternatives. You do not have to make a “perfect” choice, but you can
maximize the probability that you will make a good decision by making a “well-informed” and
“well-thought-out” decision. Thus, after you have completed a thorough exploration and
decision-making process you will know with confidence that you have made a good choice of
major. UD Career Services has on-line tools that are very helpful for considering possible
majors.
Go to http://careers.udayton.edu/student/choosemajor.asp. There you will find career
assessment tests to choose from. You can go over results with a professional career adviser if
you would like; just call Career Services at (937) 229-2045.
How are careers related to majors?
Is there a one-to-one link between the career you plan to pursue and the college major you
choose? Generally, at the bachelor’s degree level, there is not just one specific major required to
enter a career field. There are, in fact, many appropriate majors related to most careers. It is
important to recognize that there are some professional fields that do have qualifying or licensing
requirements that indicate the need to choose certain undergraduate majors. Most professional
fields, however, do not have such specific requirements and therefore you have considerable
flexibility in your major choice. For example, you can be admitted to law school or medical
school with any undergraduate major. Other typical examples are the business management and
marketing career fields. U.S. corporations hire college graduates from a wide range of majors for
these and other positions all the time. Thus, you should always determine whether the career
field you plan to enter has any specific requirements that indicate certain major choices. At the
same time, it is important to know that in most cases, there is not one specific major required and
you can choose from all UD majors
54
Should I declare a minor?
Yes! A minor usually requires completion of 5 courses (15 credits) in a field of study. With a
little careful planning, one or more minors can be completed in addition to your major without
having to take any additional credit hours of coursework by double-counting the minor’s courses.
Your adviser can show you how to do this. One advantage of adding a minor to your academic
program is that you can study in multiple academic fields. Also, a degree program that includes
minors is much stronger as a credential for graduate school or job application, and expands
potential career opportunities as well.
If a student chooses to change majors, s/he must do so at the department of the new major.
Departments have different requirements – some require only a meeting whereas others require
an application. Try to avoid sending students to the Dean’s Office to change their major unless
they decide to become undeclared for a period of time.
If the student wishes to change from a declared major to an “undecided” status (UNA or UNS) or
General Studies (GEN) the student needs to call 937-229-2611 to make an appointment with an
assistant dean. Once a student declares an undecided status within the College, the student will
be assigned a new adviser.
55
Registration
Introduction Many students see their adviser most often during the time of registration for the next semester.
Although this is frequently a busy time for advisers and students, it can be a time when advisers
can be especially helpful to students if they schedule appointments at appropriate times and meet
with students with the necessary files (e.g., advising report) and information readily available.
Students sometimes procrastinate about meeting with their adviser and seek a signature at the
eleventh hour. If the student approaches you at the last possible (and perhaps inconvenient)
moment, you have the right to refuse to "just sign" and to insist on scheduling a serious
conversation.

1. Log in to porches.udayton.edu with your University of Dayton username and password.
2. Determine the courses you want your adviser to approve. To determine the courses you
need to take, view your degree audit located on the Flyers First/Student Accts tab and
select DegreeWorks in the “Student Tools” channel. In DegreeWorks, select the “Run
Audit” button to see the most current information.
3. Meet with your adviser to discuss your course selections. Your adviser will give you an
adviser approval code, which you need to complete registration.
4. At your assigned registration time, register for your approved classes. Please note that the
“Registration Status” will display your registration date and show any outstanding holds.
Unresolved holds will prohibit you from registering.
57
5. Register for classes using one of the following methods:
A. Add all courses to a worksheet
Locate your preferred course/section and click the box next to the preferred CRN
(course registration number) to add it to your worksheet.
Once you’ve selected all desired courses, submit your schedule.
You will be prompted to enter your adviser approval code.
This method allows you to build an entire schedule at once; only after submission do
you see potential registration errors and closed classes.
B. Select and register for courses individually
Click the “register” button each time you select a course.
You will be prompted to enter your adviser approval code the first time you
register for a class - or if you exit and log back in to Porches.
This method of registering ensures that you will have a seat in the class if no other
errors or section closings prevent you from registering. This method is recommended
when you are aware that space in a particular course is limited or close to being full.
Students may change their classes online prior to the first day of the term by selecting the Add
or Drop Classes link under the “Student Tools” channel.
More details about registering online are available on the Flyers First/Student Accts tab at
porches.udayton.edu.
Students are responsible for monitoring their own progress in completing requirements for
graduation. Drop or adding courses without prior discussion with the adviser may result in
non-fulfillment of degree/major requirements and will not be corrected by substitutions
and waivers by the Dean’s Office.
58
Registration Holds Holds may prevent a student from registering. Students can view holds by going to Porches,
Registration Status,View Holds.
Financial Students with unpaid balances (Bursar, Parking Services, or Library) may be held
up at registration time. To solve this problem, the student need contact whatever campus
entity issued the hold. Often times, the student will have to pay the debt to release the hold.
Academic Students who have been dismissed are prevented from registering. If the student
has a Dean’s hold, s/he must contact the Dean’s Office to discuss removal of the hold.
Disciplinary Students who have disciplinary action pending may be issued a Dean of
Students hold by the Office for Community Standards and Civility. A student must contact
that office at 937-229-4627 to discuss removal of the hold.
Adviser’s Perspective
Undergraduate students register in an alphabetical rotation in order of their class rank: seniors,
juniors, sophomores, and first-year students. The Registrar publishes the online schedule
composite in which is listed the registration dates by class rank. This information is on-line at
www.udayton.edu/flyersfirst.
Many of the University's most successful advisers send an email to their students reminding
them of the upcoming registration periods and instructing them to make appointments for
registration advising. Some departments have a system in which an email goes out from the
department chair. The department administrative assistants may help to schedule the
appointments between the student and adviser. Regardless of the system, the email should:
1. Remind students of the upcoming registration dates and the need to schedule an appointment.
Students can schedule an appointment in various ways depending on the method the adviser
prefers.
Provide phone number for students to call to schedule the appointment
Create appointment time slots on your calendar for students to reserve. This method
saves time and helps alleviate multiple phone calls and email exchanges.
Sign-up sheet posted outside of office door or in department office
2. Inform students that it is their responsibility to come to the appointment on time with a
preliminary schedule as well as possible alternate courses, in the event one of their choices is
closed.
Advisers should review the students' advising report before they arrive. They should note if
there is information that may indicate problems or questions that need to be addressed.
Occasionally, advising reports are not updated immediately after a request for waiver,
59
substitution, or exception is granted. This can be for many reasons – including a need to change
a major or a need to wait until the student has taken the final course in a sequence.
If there is correspondence from an assistant dean that a request was granted, please accept
the official communication as ranking over the discrepancy on the advising report.
The registration advising session itself may take as few as fifteen to twenty minutes. It is a good
time to:
1. Review the student's academic and career goals to see if they remain on track or have been
altered. Help the student to reflect on the relationship between the courses and the academic and
career goals. Help the student to consider various opportunities that may help in the attainment of
the goals (e.g., study abroad, working on campus in an appropriate office, and internship or
summer work).
2. Review the student's performance during the current semester, especially to identify any
problems and any need for intervention on the part of the adviser, the assistant dean, the
Counseling Center, the Financial Aid Office, or some other entity on campus
3. Review the student's preliminary schedule for next semester looking at course selections to see
if they are appropriate and if the prerequisites have been met.
4. Develop a completed schedule with the student (including identifying alternatives if sections
are closed).
At particularly busy advising times, such as the registration period for the following semester or
during drop/add periods, consider the following:
Set aside several blocks of time (two to three hours) over a two-week period.
Expand office hours during these times.
If a student wants to have an extended discussion about careers or life generally, postpone the
appointment until registration is over.
60

Run Audit: When? How? Why?
DegreeWorks is a visual display of your UD transcript, based upon a set of rules determined by
your entering year, degree, major, any declared minors, and other specific programs such as
CORE, Honors, and Chaminade Scholars.
The first thing to do when DegreeWorks opens is to check the Last Audit date. If it does not
display TODAY, click the Run Audit button.
The display will go disappear briefly (10 to 40 seconds is normal but longer during peak usage
periods), then reappear. The Last Audit date will now display TODAY.
FAQ:
Q. Why is this important?
A. Any changes to your UD transcript, added or dropped courses, transfer credit, term grades,
etc., made after the Last Audit date will not appear in the DegreeWorks view because your set
of rules have not been applied to the changes.
Q. I refreshed my internet browser, but the display did not change?
A. Refreshing your browser will only display new information if it is available. Run Audit is
the command to generate the new information to display.
Q. When is it not necessary to do a Run Audit?
A. If the Last Audit date is fairly recent and you are confident no changes to your transcript
have occurred since the Last Audit date, it may not be necessary. But, if in doubt, Run Audit.

Common Academic Program
Note: Requirements are subject to change due to continued CAP course development. Advisers and
students should review DegreeWorks or consult with an assistant dean for the latest updates.
The Common Academic Program (CAP) is the portion of the curriculum shared by all
undergraduate students, starting with the entering class in 2013. It embodies seven UD learning
goals: scholarship, faith traditions, diversity, community, practical wisdom, critical evaluation of
our times and vocation. The courses challenge students and faculty to link aspects of their own
lives, majors and careers to a broader world. Students' unique learning experiences promote
knowledge, skills and dispositions through engaging, developmental and integrated courses and
experiences that are necessary for 21st century graduates.
First-Year Humanities Commons The first-year Humanities Commons will introduce the seven student learning outcomes and
develop appropriate disciplinary objectives as part of the first-year courses in Religious Studies,
Philosophy, History and English that create a foundation for student learning in the rest of the
Common Academic Program and their majors. As part of the First-Year Humanities component
of the CAP, students will enroll in either a first-year writing seminar or a first-year honors
writing seminar. Many students will begin by taking the first-year writing seminar. Based on
placement criteria, some students will qualify to enroll in the first-year honors writing seminar.
Students who complete the first-year honors writing seminar will not take the second-year
writing seminar.

Second-Year Writing Seminar The second-year writing seminar, taken by students who completed the first-year writing
seminar, is a variable theme composition course focused on academic discourse, research, and
argumentation. Students will further develop their reading, writing, research, and critical
thinking abilities as they come into contact with the ways that various disciplines (at least three)
engage a particular theme. In addition, by studying scholarship across disciplines students will
94
develop rhetorical awareness about the arguments, approaches, and conventions of these
disciplines.

Oral Communication To enhance students’ ability to communicate effectively, all students will complete three hours in
oral communication, normally in their first or second year of study. The Oral Communication
foundational course will focus on the concepts of dialogue and debate, with the goals of
engaging in constructive mutual dialogue in conversations and meetings; developing the ability
to articulate, analyze, and defend a position in a public forum; understanding the differences
between dialogue and debate; and understanding relative advantages and disadvantages of each
mode of communication. With its focus on dialogue and debate, the course will assist students in
the development of the skills necessary for learning, living, and working in communities. By
developing the ability to engage in conversation that advances understanding, students will be
better able to interact and collaborate with persons from diverse backgrounds and perspectives.
Students are encouraged to take CMM 100: Principles of Oral Communication in their first year.
During the transition from General Education to the CAP, continuing students who have already
completed one or more of the General Education Communication Modules, are required to
complete those modules. The CMM 100 course will not be available to those students.

Mathematics To enhance quantitative reasoning skills, all students will complete three hours in mathematics.
The particular course will vary based on the students’ major and background in mathematics.
The mathematics courses are most closely related to the HIR outcomes related to scholarship,
practical wisdom and critical evaluation of our times.

Arts To ensure that all students acquire a basic understanding of the arts as significant manifestations
of diverse cultural, intellectual, aesthetic, and personal experiences, all students will complete a
95
three hour component in the Arts. The Arts component may include courses from the
Departments of Music, Visual Arts, English and the Theatre Program. Courses will assist
students to develop skills and acquire experiences that enable them to understand, reflect upon,
and value the creative process within the context of the arts. The requirement may be satisfied
by taking studio and performance courses as well as historical studies courses.
Students may satisfy the three hour requirement with one three hour course or a combination of
one- and two-hour courses. Given the diversity of the Arts, the specific learning outcomes
addressed will vary across courses.

Social Science Essential to life in the 21st century is an understanding of the relationship between individuals,
groups and institutions. All students will complete three hours in the social sciences. The social
science course will be a theme-based course that varies across sections but shares common
learning outcomes. The course will use social science methods and social theory to critically
examine a human issue or problem from at least three social science disciplinary perspectives
(anthropology, economics, political science, psychology and sociology). The course will
emphasize outcomes related to scholarship, critical evaluation of our times, and the diversity of
the human world.

SSC 200 Soc Sci Integrated 3
Natural Science An understanding of many significant issues confronting our world today requires a basic
understanding of science. Students must take two
three-hour lecture courses in the physical or life sciences or computer science, at least one of
which should be accompanied by a corresponding one-hour laboratory section. Lecture sections
are either a pre-requisite or co-requisite to their correlative laboratory sections. Students will be
exposed to at least two of the five disciplines: biology, chemistry, computer science, geology,
and physics. The science component will actively challenge students to explore the scientific
97
dimensions of complex, controversial or unresolved problems facing human society. It will
further the development of the outcomes related to scholarship, practical wisdom and critical
evaluation of our times by challenging students to achieve an enriched understanding of the
scientific method by applying it to issues of broad public interest. The community outcome will
also be enhanced through the team-based learning that occurs in the laboratory setting.

Crossing Boundaries The Crossing Boundaries component includes four courses (Faith Traditions, Practical Ethical
Action, Inquiry and Integrative courses) that challenge students and faculty to link aspects of
their own lives, majors, and careers to a broader world within and outside academia. These
courses focus on faith traditions, practical ethical action, Inquiry and Integration. Collectively,
these courses will strengthen the Catholic intellectual tradition in significant ways. This tradition
in Catholic and Marianist higher education emphasizes the centrality of theology and philosophy,
the importance of linking faith and reason, the integration of knowledge, and the application of
that knowledge to personal and social situations in the world today. Collectively, these courses
will build on our strengths as a comprehensive Marianist university by engaging students and
faculty across disciplinary lines and across academic units in order to see the relationship
between the practical and the theoretical and to understand issues in a more integrative and
holistic perspective. The student learning outcomes related to faith traditions, diversity, practical
wisdom, critical evaluation of our times, and vocation are particularly important for this set of
courses.
Faith Traditions The course on faith traditions is designed to encourage students to better understand, reflect on,
and place their own religious beliefs and experiences in a broader historical or cultural context.
Courses satisfying the faith traditions component may be offered by any department provided
that the courses incorporate some of the ideas from the introductory religious studies course and
that they develop students’ ability to examine their own faith commitments and to participate in
dialogue with other faith traditions. The courses will: 1) place religious traditions within their
historical context; 2) examine their philosophical foundations or the internal logic of religious
thought, language, and practice; 3) compare religious traditions by examining their philosophical
foundations, historical origins, artistic expressions, canonical texts, and/or storied practices; or 4)
examine a religious tradition with which students are unfamiliar (e.g., a non-Christian tradition).

Practical Ethical Action The practical ethical action course is designed to cross the boundaries between the theoretical
and the practical and between the liberal arts and the applied fields. It offers the opportunity for
faculty to cross the boundaries of their own disciplines to dialogue with faculty from other
disciplines in ways that enrich their own understanding of important ethical issues and that
enrich the courses they offer to students. Courses satisfying the practical ethical action
component may be offered by any department provided that the courses engage students in thick
description and analysis of ethical issues using concepts central to the study of ethics such as
justice, rights, natural law, conscience or forgiveness and that the courses provide sufficient
normative content that allow students to reflect on value judgments and ethical reasoning and
practical application. These courses will draw from relevant interdisciplinary knowledge as well
as an understanding of the professions and social institutions.

Inquiry The Inquiry component of CAP requires that students select a course outside their own division
to better understand the ways of knowing found in other academic disciplines. The Inquiry
course provides an opportunity for all academic units, particularly the professional schools, to
develop courses for the CAP. The Inquiry course will serve as an introduction to key methods of
investigation, interpretation, exploration, and ways of knowing. Taking a course outside one’s
major can broaden awareness of differing philosophies or analytic approaches, and it can offer
new ways of conceiving of and resolving problems. The Inquiry course will provide students an
opportunity to contrast inquiry in their own field with a different discipline’s methods of inquiry.
Some modes of inquiry engage experimentation and creative practice; other modes employ
cognitive systems or analytical frameworks. Still other modes of inquiry investigate the
complexity of systems, languages, or cultures. Exposure to modes of inquiry not typically used
in the students’ major prepares them to think critically about ways of acquiring, evaluating, and
applying knowledge claims within their own discipline. For this reason, the Inquiry course will
include a reflective and comparative component in which a student examines methods in his or
her major field with those in the field of the Inquiry course.

Integrative The integration of knowledge has a long-standing position within the Catholic intellectual
tradition and an increasingly important role in understanding contemporary social issues and
problems. The Integrative course in the CAP requires that faculty develop, and students select, a
course that transcends disciplinary boundaries and explicitly examines significant social issues or
problems in a multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary framework. Collaborative, interdisciplinary
efforts by faculty are encouraged but not required for this course. Courses offered by one faculty
member that bring together different disciplinary perspectives to enhance students’
understanding of significant issues may also be developed.

Major Capstone The ability of students to integrate the knowledge acquired in the undergraduate career, both
within the major and in the Common Academic Program, is greatly enhanced by a capstone
experience. All students will have a capstone course or experience in their major. The capstone
will provide students the opportunity to engage, integrate, practice, and demonstrate the
knowledge and skills they have developed in their major courses and which reflect learning
outcomes associated with the Habits of Inquiry and Reflection. The capstone will provide
students the opportunity to engage in the scholarship, activity and/or practice of their major field
and further the students’ understanding of their chosen vocation, career or profession. Students
will present their work in a forum appropriate to their major. This course or experience will be
designed by faculty in each major. It may, or may not be assigned credit hours.

Advanced study in religious studies, philosophy, and history As a Catholic and Marianist institution of higher education, the University regards religious
studies and philosophy as having special roles in the undergraduate curriculum and in the
attainment of University-wide learning outcomes. Students are expected to deepen their
knowledge of the religious and philosophical traditions that inform the Catholic and Marianist
education. Advanced study in these areas, especially when conducted through interdisciplinary
courses, also assists students in constructing integrated knowledge of the central human
questions examined in a liberal education. The fields of philosophy and religious studies,
together with historical study are indispensable for students’ education in the Catholic
intellectual tradition. Students will take courses beyond the 100 level in these fields to further
their understanding of the resources that the Catholic intellectual tradition offers for their own
personal, professional and civic lives and also for the just transformation of the social world. By
requiring every
student to take six hours of courses in the areas of religious studies or philosophy and three hours
in history beyond the 100 level, the University expects students to engage in liberal learning that
connects theory and practice and to draw upon the resources of the Catholic intellectual tradition
as they consider how to lead wise and ethical lives of leadership and service.
Students will have flexibility in fulfilling these requirements. First, these courses will frequently
focus on issues related to, and satisfy the criteria for the Faith Traditions, Practical Ethical
Action, Inquiry and Integrative components of the CAP. Second, the criteria for these
requirements are disciplinary-based in the fields of religious, philosophical and historical studies
and therefore not limited to specific departments. Courses offered outside the Departments of
Philosophy, Religious Studies and History may count towards the advanced religious studies,
philosophy and history requirements if the courses draw extensively from those disciplinary
perspectives and address in significant ways aspects of the Catholic intellectual tradition.
Courses satisfying the religious studies component might examine the central beliefs, texts or
practices of one or more religious traditions or movements; examine ethics as a central feature of
a religious tradition including the use of Catholic social teaching as a resource, or; examine
cultural expressions of religious identity or tradition as the central focus of theological or
religious studies. Courses satisfying the advanced philosophical studies component might
evaluate competing solutions to theoretical or ethical options in the present day, or draw on the
philosophical resources of the Catholic intellectual tradition to address the challenges of their
times. Courses satisfying the advanced historical studies component might engage students in
the study and analysis of primary materials to further develop students’ historical sensibilities in
112
a way that illuminates the historical dimensions of HIR learning outcomes. The course could
examine a historical topic drawing on the work of historians to show how interpretations of the
past may change over time.

Diversity and Social Justice As a Marianist university, the University has a special concern for the poor and marginalized and
a responsibility to promote the dignity, rights and responsibilities of all persons and peoples. The
University curriculum is responsible for contributing to this effort and does so throughout the
Common Academic Program, but in a more focused way through a Diversity and Social Justice
component. Every student will investigate human diversity issues within a sustained academic
context by taking at least three credit hours of course work that have a central focus on one or
more dimensions of diversity that are relevant to social justice. The course must have a central
focus on one or more dimensions of
human diversity on the basis of which systems, institutions, or practices that obstruct social
justice have functioned. The dimensions may include, but are not limited to, race, gender,
socioeconomic class, and sexual orientation. Courses may address diversity within the United
States, in a global context, or both. Since the course uses a social justice framework, it will
consider constructive responses to such injustice.
117
Courses approved to satisfy the Diversity and Social Justice component will build on earlier CAP
courses addressing diversity including the First-Year Humanities courses, the Second-Year
Writing Seminar, and the Social Science, Arts, Natural Science, and Oral Communication
courses. The Diversity and Social Justice component may not
double count with these courses, but may double count with courses taken to satisfy other CAP
components or courses taken in the student’s major.

The Write Place
The Mission of the Write Place is one of service: writing consultants appreciate the uniqueness
of individual learners and work with all students in their efforts to become better writers. Write
Place consultants encourage, guide, and support student writers on any writing assignment and at
any stage of the writing process. In order to help students improve their writing, consultants:
Address global concerns before sentence-level concerns. Do not proofread papers. Help students
understand their writing assignments. Engage the student in a conversation about his or her
writing. Discover the strengths and weaknesses of the student’s writing.
