Student code 2009-2010
Changes From the 2008-2009 Student Code
The following are those Sections from the 2008-2009 Student Code that had changes made to them for the 2009-2010 Student Code. The text in blue is what's new or different for 2009-2010.
In ALL Sections, "Office of Admissions and Records" was changed to "Office of the Registrar."
§ 1-303 Falsification of Documents
(c) Upon admission and prior to degree conferral, students are responsible to disclose and provide complete, official transcripts from any post-secondary work completed outside the University of Illinois system, including all international and domestic coursework for the purpose of consideration of transfer articulation. It is recommended that students receive appropriate advising from their college prior to undertaking outside coursework to be sure it will transfer for specific curricular needs. Failure to disclose information may result in the rescission of an offer of admission, cancellation of registration or disciplinary action at the discretion of the Dean of Students, college, and/or Director of Undergraduate Admissions.
(d) Any student who knowingly withholds information or gives false information in any document or materials submitted to any member or agent of the University may be subject to discipline.
§ 3-104 Other Grade Symbols in Use
Graduate Students
The instructor may authorize such extension of time for a graduate student regardless of the level of the course. A grade of “incomplete” must be replaced by a permanent grade no later than Reading Day of the next semester in which the student is registered or it automatically becomes a grade of F. If the student does not enroll the following semester in a graded course, the incomplete grade becomes a grade of F after one year. Incomplete grades earned in the spring semester will not be converted to a grade of F grade until the end of the following fall semester, whether or not the student registers for the summer term. Reasonable extensions of time are granted by the Graduate College for justifiable reasons.
Graduate students: The symbol DFR in courses other than thesis (499/599) must be converted to a permanent grade no later than the end of the next semester in which the student is registered. If no grade change is submitted within that period, the DFR will be converted as follows: for letter graded courses to an F, for courses graded Satisfactory / Unsatisfactory to a U, and for courses taken on Credit / No Credit basis to an NC. The DFR symbol for thesis courses (499/599) stands indefinitely until a Supplemental Grade Report Form is submitted by the adviser at the completion (successful or unsuccessful) of the thesis.
§ 3-301 Number of Hours Required
(a) All Students
(5) Study Abroad students shall be considered full-time for academic purposes at the University when they are enrolled for at least the minimum full-time academic load as defined by the international institution. However, federal regulations require that students must take and transfer back 12 or more University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign hours to be considered full-time for financial aid purposes.
