All universities establish certain requirements, which must be met before admission is granted. These requirements concern courses, majors and minors, and residence. Major professors, department heads/directors, and deans will help meet these requirements, but the student is responsible for fulfilling them. Upon completion of the coursework, personnel of the University will determine whether or not the student receives a degree. If the requirements have not been met, the degree will not be awarded until such time as they have been met. For this reason it is important for each student to be acquainted with the degree requirements and to keep informed while enrolled at the University.

Also, it is necessary in the general administration of a university to establish broad policies and to lay down certain regulations and procedures by which they may be carried out. It is important that a student understand the policies and know the regulations and procedures one is expected to follow.

The catalog is presented, therefore, not only to enable prospective students and others to learn about The University of Louisiana at Monroe, but to state policies, requirements, regulations, and procedures in such form as will help the student progress through school. Graduate students are expected to assume responsbility for becoming fully acquainted with and abiding by the regulations and requirements of the Graduate School.
