HISTORY DEPARTMENT MISSION STATEMENT

History is the foundation of liberal education. The History Department's mission at William Paterson is to promote the study of human experience in all its dimensions as it has changed and endured from the earliest agrarian societies to the post-industrial present. Our goal is to apply the knowledge and methods of historical thinking to questions of causation and contingency in the sequence of events, to determine motivations, make comparisons, and draw conclusions. We seek to prepare students for careers--educators, researchers, lawyers, public servants and media and business professionals -- and for their future roles as global citizens. The History Department is dedicated to enriching the university and wider community as well as the historical profession through outreach programs, public lectures, and research presentations and publications.

HISTORY MINOR

14

Do you like History and do well in History courses you’ve taken (in High School and at WPU)? Have you thought of adding a History Minor to your major? History has a clear subject-matter relationship to Political Science, Literature, Philosophy, Music, and Art; it would make a valuable contribution to majors in these subjects. It would be of practical value to majors in Communication (especially for careers in broadcast and print journalism), or Accounting (business firms are especially interested in students with the research and analytical skills that History courses foster).

Did you know that membership in the History Honor Society—Phi Alpha Theta—is open to qualified students, even if they are not History majors?

Wouldn’t your diploma be enhanced with a minor in History, which might also include membership in Phi Alpha Theta?

CAREERS IN HISTORY1 (The American Historical Association)Many, many things

1 Information on this page is from http://www.historians.org/pubs/free/careers/Index.htm33

http://www.historians.org/pubs/free/careers/Index.htm

As a liberal arts major, of course, the world is your oyster and you can consider a multitude of careers. Among the jobs you can consider are: advertising executive, analyst, archivist, broadcaster, campaign worker, consultant, congressional aide, editor, foreign service officer, foundation staffer, information specialist, intelligence agent, journalist, legal assistant, lobbyist, personnel manager, public relations staffer, researcher, teacher . . . the list can be almost endless. More specifically, though, with your degree in history you can be an educator, researcher, communicator or editor, information manager, advocate, or even a businessperson. Here is a brief list of the career opportunities available to the undergraduate history major. This list is based on a very useful pamphlet, Careers for Students of History, written by Barbara J. Howe and jointly published by the American Historical Association and the National Council on Public History in 1989. While this online miniguide is based on this pamphlet (now out of print), with appropriate paraphrases from its text, it discusses also some of the new opportunities that became available to the history major in the recent past.History BAs intending to pursue an advanced degree in history should read the excellent guide, Careers for Students of History, by Constance Schulz, Page Putnam Miller, Aaron Marrs, and Kevin Allen (2002: 64 pages, $7 members, $9 nonmembers. ISBN 0-87229-128-6).Historians as EducatorsElementary Schools/ Secondary SchoolsPostsecondary EducationHistoric Sites and MuseumsHistorians as ResearchersMuseums and Historical OrganizationsCultural Resources Management and Historic PreservationThink TanksHistorians As CommunicatorsWriters and EditorsJournalistsDocumentary EditorsProducers of Multimedia MaterialHistorians As Information ManagersArchivistsRecords ManagersLibrariansInformation ManagersHistorians As AdvocatesLawyers and ParalegalsLitigation SupportLegislative Staff WorkFoundationsHistorians in Businesses and AssociationsHistorians in CorporationsContract HistoriansHistorians and Nonprofit AssociationsFor more information on all these career opportunities as well as other possibilities, consult the pamphlet referred to above and, of course, the career guidance office at your college or university.

History M.A. Program Overview

Dr. Dewar MacLeod ([email protected])Graduate Director Atrium Room 213

The master of arts in history is designed for the twenty-first century. Through an innovative curriculum that focuses on global historical analysis and the integration of information technology into historical research and teaching, the program provides graduates with the skills necessary to communicate historical insights in a diverse and technologically advanced society. Graduate students in History may choose from three academic paths: the Examination option, the Thesis option or the Applied Historical Studies track – all requiring 30 credits. The history faculty at William Paterson is one of the largest in New Jersey and offers a wide range of courses that reflect the latest scholarship in the discipline. Thematic courses, such as the history of crime, science, women, and sexuality, complement the traditional menu of national histories. The program’s flexibility also allows students to tailor a course of study to fit their needs.

All incoming students will take HIST 5000 Historical Thinking, the core course designed to introduce the fundamentals of historical interpretation, theories, and methodologies. Those pursuing the Examination and Thesis options are required to take one of the Global History Seminars. Students in the Applied Historical Studies track will take courses in Digital History and Public History, as well as an Internship.

ApplicationsProspective students must have a Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution and an undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 (out of 4) in their major. Applications should include two academic letters of recommendation, a writing sample, and GRE scores. Further information is available at the Office of Graduate Admissions.

Financial AidA limited number of graduate assistantships and graduate internships are available. Assistantships and internships include a stipend and a tuition and fee waiver. More information is available at Graduate Admissions Office Financial Aid for Students.

Library ResourcesOne of the gems of William Paterson University is the Cheng Library and its extraordinary staff. Start your research at the page for Library Resources for Graduate Students. The History Department liaison at the Library is Richard Kearney, a graduate of our Master's Program. You may access the University Archives here; for more information contact Bob Wolk.

EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES OFF CAMPUSCenter for International EducationRaubinger Hall Lower Level Room 21 (973)720-2976Cinzia Richardson, Director, [email protected]

The Center for International Education, www.wpunj.edu/academics/cie, is responsible for global initiatives and activities at William Paterson University. It is the cornerstone of the University’s unwavering commitment to international education. The Center develops, coordinates, and supports international, interdisciplinary academic and development activities.

This agenda seeks to be responsive to the needs of four constituencies: students, faculty, New Jersey’s ethnic communities, and New Jersey businesses and industries. The Center’s objectives, therefore, are (1) to expose students to international experiences such as study abroad on exchange, teaching, working, or participating in short-term educational programs abroad; (2) to develop the faculty’s international expertise; (3) to reach out to New Jersey’s multiple ethnic communities; and (4) to formulate joint ventures with New Jersey’s business and industrial community.

International Education Programs AbroadStudy Abroad ProgramsStudents at William Paterson University have the opportunity to participate in a StudyAbroad program under the sponsorship of the New Jersey State Consortium for International Studies. (www.njscis.org). Programs vary in price and length. Students may apply for summer, semester or a full academic year in over 40 different countries in Europe (Great Britain, Denmark, Hungary, Spain, Austria, Ireland, and France); Latin America (Mexico, Ecuador, Chile, Costa Rica, Argentina, and Brazil); Australia; and select countries in Asia and Africa. In most cases, the language of instruction is English, except where the main purpose is to learn a foreign language. And up to 30 creditsmay be earned toward graduation from William Paterson. To qualify, students must have completed at least one year of University study, have a minimum grade point average of 2.5, and be approved for participation prior to departure. Most Application deadlines are March 1 for spring applications and October 1 for the fall term.

Short term Education Programs Taught AbroadThe Center for International Education assists faculty with promoting short-term programs abroad, organized by various academic departments, providing William Paterson University students with international awareness, knowledge, and culture. These opportunities offer the student skills on practical and intellectual levels to become a functional and productive citizen of an ever shrinking world.

National Student Exchange ProgramThe National Student Exchange program (www.nse.org) enables William Paterson University students who have a 2.5 GPA or higher to attend up to one calendar year in another state while having the option to continue paying William Paterson tuition and fees or the host school's in state tuition and fees. The program includes nearly 200 colleges and universities in the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Canada.ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY (from the Student Handbook)

IntroductionEvery student is expected to know and comply with all policies and regulations stated in the University Catalog and Student Handbook. Students are also expected to be aware of, and accept responsibility for, their academic standing at all times. This includes their cumulative and major grade point average, number of credits completed, and progress toward meeting graduation requirements.

38

The University reserves the right to introduce changes in the rules regulating admission, programs, instruction, and graduation. Changes take effect as determined by the proper authorities and apply to prospective students as well as to those already enrolled. Students are, therefore, urged to read carefully all materials sent from the University by website, mail and/or posted in appropriate locations around campus. Regular contact with faculty and other advisors is strongly recommended. The administration of academic regulations is the function of the Dean of each college.

Students who experience academic difficulty are advised to consult first with the faculty member directly concerned. If the problem cannot be resolved, a student should consult his or her assigned academic advisor, speak with an advisor in the Gloria Williams Advisement Center, or contact the department chairperson or Dean for guidance.

At their initial registration, students are given a degree audit outlining particular requirements and recommending the sequence in which they should pursue those requirements. It is the students’ responsibility to maintain the degree audit, know the curriculum, and take courses in the proper sequence.

I. Standards of Academic ConductAs an academic institution committed to the discovery and dissemination of truth, William Paterson University expects that all members of the University community shall conduct themselves honestly and with professional demeanor in all academic activities.

William Paterson University has established standards of academic conduct because of its belief that academic honesty is a matter of individual and University responsibility and that, when standards of honesty are violated, each member of the community is harmed. Members of the University community are expected to acknowledge their individual responsibility to be familiar with, and adhere to, the Academic Integrity Policy.

II. Violations of Academic IntegrityViolations of the Academic Integrity Policy include, but are not limited to, the following examples:

A. Cheating during examinations includes any attempt to (1) look at another student’s examination with the intention of using another’s answers for attempted personal benefit; (2) communicate, in any manner, information concerning the content of the examination during the testing period or after the examination to someone who has not yet taken the examination; (3) use any materials, such as notebooks, notes, textbooks, or other sources not specifically designated by the professor of the course for student use during the examination period; or (4) engage in any other activity for the purpose of seeking aid not authorized by the professor.

B. Plagiarism is the copying from a book, article, notebook, video, internet or other source material, whether published or unpublished, without proper credit through the use of quotation marks, footnotes and other customary means of identifying sources, or passing off as one’s own the ideas, words, writings, programs, and experiments of another, whether or not such actions are intentional or unintentional.

39

Plagiarism also includes submitting, without the consent of the professor, an assignment already tendered for academic credit in another course.

C. Collusion is working together in preparing separate course assignments in ways not authorized by the instructor. Academic work produced through a cooperative (collaborative) effort of two or more students is permissible only upon the explicit consent of the professor. The collaboration must also be acknowledged in stating the authorship of the report.

D. Lying is knowingly furnishing false information, distorting data, or omitting to provide all necessary, required information to the University’s advisor, registrar, admissions counselor, professor, etc., for any academically related purpose.

E. Other concerns that relate to the Academic Integrity Policy include such issues as computer security, stolen tests, falsified records, as well as vandalism of library materials. No list could include all the possible violations of academic integrity. These examples should, however, give a clearer idea of the intent and extent of application of this policy.

III. Faculty Responsibilities for Upholding the Academic Integrity PolicyA. Faculty are expected to be familiar with the Academic Integrity Policy. Each faculty member will inform students of the applicable procedures and conditions early in each semester before the first examination or assignment is due.

B. Ordinarily, class tests and final exams should be proctored. Proctoring is defined as having a faculty member present in the room. Proctoring is the responsibility of the faculty member teaching the course although, where necessary, that responsibility may be shared with, or delegated to, faculty colleagues or graduate assistants assigned to the course.

IV. Resolution of Academic Integrity Policy ViolationsA. If a faculty member has sufficient reason to believe that a violation may have occurred on any work submitted for a grade, he/she must attempt to discuss this matter with the student within ten (10) working days of the incident.

B. After discussing this matter with the student, and if the student accepts the proposed penalty, the student waives his/her right to a hearing. Depending on circumstances as assessed by the faculty member who has discussed the matter with the student, the penalty imposed could be:

1. Resubmission of the assignment2. Failure of the assignment3. Failure of the course4. Forced withdrawal from the course with no credit received5. Imposition of other appropriate penalties with the consent of the student6. Recommendation to the President of suspension or expulsion from the University7. With any of the above, the faculty member can have a written record of the sequence of events placed in the student’s permanent record with a copy to the student.

40

C. If the student does not admit to a violation or disagrees with the proposed penalty, he/she must:1. Speak directly to the faculty member within ten (10) working days of being informed of a violation or of the proposed penalty. If, after repeated attempts, the student is unable to reach the faculty member within ten (10) working days, the student must notify the department chairperson in writing within that ten (10) day period.

2. If, after discussion with the faculty member, the student is dissatisfied with the outcome, the student must contact the department chairperson, presenting a dated, written, and signed statement describing the specific basis for the complaint. At this time, the student will also provide the faculty member with a copy of these written materials.

3. The department chairperson will try to resolve the issue by reaching a settlement that is agreed upon by both the student and the faculty member. If the issue is not resolved at the chairperson’s level, the student will request that the chairperson convene the Department Executive Council (or other appropriate department committee) excluding the faculty member involved to hear the appeal. The faculty member will submit a written, dated, and signed statement of the alleged violation to the council/committee. The student will submit a written, dated, and signed statement describing the basis of the complaint. The accuser will assume the burden of proof. When the faculty member involved is the chairperson, then the student will request that the Dean of the College convene the Department Executive Council (or other appropriate department committee). The Department Executive Council/Committee will submit its decision to the chairperson (or College Dean, if the faculty member involved is the chairperson).

4. If not satisfied with the Department Executive Council’s (or other appropriate department committee’s) decision, the student may ask the Dean of that College to bring the matter to the College Council. The faculty member will submit a written, dated, and signed statement of the alleged violation. The student will submit a written, dated and signed statement describing the basis for the complaint. The accuser will assume the burden of proof. The chairperson of the department concerned will not take part in the final vote (though the written decision from the department chairperson will be part of the record). The College Council’s decision will constitute the University’s final decision regarding the substantive nature of the case.

5. Each step in the procedure must be initiated within ten (10) working days of the faculty, chairperson, department, or College response. Dated, written, and signed statements are required at each step. Likewise, at each level, the faculty member(s), chairperson, Department Executive Council (or other appropriate department committee), or College Council must complete a review of all pertinent written materials prior to rendering a decision, in writing, within ten (10) working days of receipt of complaint materials. In case the faculty member has verifiably been unable to be contacted, or in other instances of extenuating circumstances affecting students or faculty, it is understood that the student’s right to appeal will not be jeopardized and the time constraints will be extended. Due process must be followed at every step of this procedure. No penalty will be changed by anyone other than the faculty member who assigned it unless there is convincing evidence that the penalty will be changed by anyone other than the faculty member who assigned it unless there is convincing evidence that the penalty was inconsistent with professional standards of the discipline.

41

6. Each student who registers a complaint with a department chairperson must be given a copy of this policy. A copy must be attached to the appeal and signed by the student to indicate that he/she has been given a copy of the procedure, read it, and understands it before the appeal can proceed.

V. The Academic Integrity Policy is published in the following University publications:1. Student Handbook2. University Catalog3. Faculty Policy Handbook

UNIVERSITY POLICIES2

Academic Honors Dean’s List Students carrying a minimum of 12 credits who earn a grade point average of 3.45 or better are named to the Dean’s List; after the completion of the Fall or Spring semester. Courses taken under the pass/fail option are not counted toward the 12 credit requirement.

Graduation Latin Honors Students who have completed at least 48 credits—not including credits earned with pass/fail grades—at William Paterson University and who graduate with a final grade point average of 3.45 or better for all undergraduate courses are recognized as honor students with the following designations:

Average of 3.45-3.64 = cum laude Average of 3.65-3.84 = magna cum laude Average of 3.85-4.00 = summa cum laude Undergraduate second-degree students are not eligible for graduation honors.

Academic StandingWilliam Paterson University expects all matriculated undergraduate students to maintain a cumulative grade point average (hereafter referred to in this policy as "GPA") of at least 2.0.* The basic principle of this policy, therefore, is that any student whose GPA falls below 2.0 is no longer in good standing. Academic standing will be computed at the end of the first semester at which time the student has accumulated a total of 12 attempted credits, and every semester thereafter. As academic standing is a serious matter, it is important that all students set as a priority and succeed in the achievement of the 2.0 GPA or better at the conclusion of each semester.

AttendanceStudents are expected to attend regularly and punctually all classes, laboratory periods, and other academic exercises. Students are responsible for all work required in courses. Individual instructors determine the effect of absences upon grades and may permit or deny the privilege of making up work, including examinations, within the time limits of the semester. Students are encouraged to ask instructors about their class attendance policy if it is not explicitly stated on the course syllabus. In the event of a prolonged absence due to illness or personal emergency, a student is advised to consult with the Office of the Vice President of Student Development regarding withdrawal from courses.

Summer Session

2 This information is from “Academic and Related Regulations” -- https://webapps.wpunj.edu/catalog/front.cfm?section=ARR42

Students may not carry more than four courses (usually 12-14 credits) during the entire summer session. This policy of maximum load applies equally to all students.

Winter SessionStudents may not carry more than one class (3-4 credits) in the 3-week winter term.

Course Repeat Policy A first-degree undergraduate student may repeat once any course taken for credit toward degree completion in which he or she received a grade of D+ or lower. A course in which a failing (F) grade is received may only be repeated twice. In the case where a department or program requires that departmental permission be granted to repeat a particular course, this requirement will be stated in the officially approved course outline, syllabus, and other official publications. Credit for courses repeated can only be earned once.

Course WithdrawalA student withdrawing from a course may do so via WPConnect, within the timeframe specified in the schedule of the semester in question. Failure to follow this procedure will result in the recording of a grade of F. For withdrawal/refund dates, please refer to the schedule on the Web. Failure to attend classes does not constitute a withdrawal from a course. Students seeking to withdraw from all courses must follow the procedures described under the Leave of Absence/Withdrawal section in this catalog.

Credit by Examination and ExperienceCurrently registered undergraduate students in good standing may receive credit for certain courses by successful performance in examinations offered by academic departments, in examinations of the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), the Thomas Edison College Examination Program (TECEP), or the College Proficiency Examination Program (CPEP). In some instances, a supplementary laboratory, practicum, or performance examination may be required to satisfy major program requirements.

Students who think they have sufficient knowledge, acquired by experience or private study, are encouraged to accelerate or enrich the University program in this way. When credit by examination is awarded by the University, it is so entered on the student’s transcript. Failure in such examinations carries no penalty.

Incomplete Grade PolicyWork relating to grades of Incomplete (IN) must be completed and grades submitted by the end of the fourth week of classes in the semester subsequent to the semester in which the grade was issued. Grades of Incomplete (IN) may be assigned only when the student has successfully completed most of the work required for a course but due to extraordinary circumstances is unable to submit a portion of course work or completed final project (paper, exam, or other work) by the end of the semester. Under no circumstances should an Incomplete (IN) be assigned when, through negligence or with no acceptable excuse, a student fails to take an examination or to submit required work on time.

Grades of Incomplete (IN) may be assigned only with an agreement of mutual understanding between the faculty member and the student.

Pass/Fail CoursesUCC major and minor courses cannot be taken on a pass/fail basis. With the exception of courses that are designated by the University as “pass/fail only,” students may exercise a pass/fail option for free elective courses only, and for a maximum of 3-4 credits or one course per semester or a career maximum of 12 credits or four courses, whichever is greater. Students must be in good academic standing (minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0) to opt for pass/fail. Students wishing to take a course on a pass/fail basis must complete the necessary form at the Office of Registration Services during the first ten (10) days of the fall or spring semesters or

43

during the first three (3) days of any particular part of summer session in which they are enrolled in the course. Once the form is submitted the decision is irreversible.

Investigating Complaints about Grades or Student Academic PerformanceStudents who are dissatisfied with treatment by a faculty member in reference to grades or student academic performance should pursue the following procedure. Due process must be followed at each step of this procedure. No grade will be changed by anyone other than the faculty member who assigned it unless there is convincing evidence that the assignment of the original grade was inconsistent with professional standards in the discipline. Each step in the procedure must be initiated within ten working days of the faculty, chairperson, or departmental response. Dated, written statements are required at each step. Likewise, at each level, the faculty member, chairperson, or Department Executive Council (or other appropriate departmental committee) must complete a review of all pertinent written materials prior to rendering a decision and inform the student in writing of the decision within ten (10) working days of receipt of the complaint materials. If the student can verify that she or he has not been able to contact the faculty member, it is understood that the student’s right to appeal will not be jeopardized, and the deadline will be extended. A copy of all materials submitted at each level of the appeal process should be retained by the student. If the student so chooses, he/she will be allowed to appear before the appropriate committee or council at each level of the appeal process.

1. The student must write to the faculty member within ten (10) working days of the receipt of the grade or of the incident related to the student’s academic performance to request an appointment to discuss the complaint. The letter must also include any pertinent documentation to substantiate the student’s complaint.

2. At the meeting with the faculty member, the student must present any additional pertinent documents to substantiate the complaint. The faculty member must make available for review at this meeting material submitted by the student for evaluation and not yet seen by the student.

3. If the student is unsuccessful in making contact with the faculty member or upon meeting with the faculty member is dissatisfied with the outcome and wishes to further pursue the complaint, the student must write to the department chairperson and request an appointment to discuss the complaint. A copy of all materials originally presented to the faculty member must be included. The department chairperson will try to resolve the issue by reaching a settlement that is agreed upon by both the student and the faculty member. Each student who registers a complaint with a department chairperson must be given a copy of this policy. A copy must be attached to the appeal and signed by the student to indicate that he/she has been given a copy of this procedure, has read it, and understands it before the appeal can proceed.

4. If the complaint is not resolved at the chairperson’s level, and if the student wishes to pursue the complaint, the student must request, in writing, that the department chairperson convene the Department Executive Council (or other appropriate department committee) to hear the appeal. The committee must consult with the faculty member involved in the complaint and review the documents provided by the student. The committee will then submit a recommendation to the department chairperson. When the faculty member involved is the chairperson, the student may request that the dean of the College convene the Department Executive Council (or other appropriate department committee).

5. If not satisfied with the Department Executive Council’s (or other appropriate department committee’s) recommendation, and if the student wishes to further pursue the complaint, the student must write to the dean of that College requesting that the complaint be brought to the College Council for a recommendation by the department chairpersons of the College concerned. The chairperson of the department concerned will not take part in the final vote. The Council’s recommendation will be given to the dean of that College. This recommendation will constitute the University’s final decision.

6. The University faculty unequivocally has the final responsibility with regard to grade changes.

Independent Study

44

The purpose of the undergraduate independent study program at William Paterson University is to encourage self-education under the auspices of a faculty supervisor. The program is open to matriculated junior and senior students who have shown themselves responsible and capable of self-direction and who possess a grade point average of at least 3.0, both overall and in the major, or in the field of the independent study. Independent study cannot substitute for an existing course, but may be utilized in lieu of a degree requirement. A student cannot undertake an independent study in which the student has no background. The choice of an independent study should be initiated by the student.An application form, with a one-page prospectus, should be submitted to the sponsoring faculty member. The application form requires the approval of the faculty member, the department chairperson, and the dean of the appropriate college. The completed application must be submitted by the student to the Office of Registration Services no later than the late registration period for the semester in which the independent study is to be undertaken. This deadline may be moved to an earlier time at the discretion of a department. The prospectus should include the following:

1. Statement of the purpose of the project,2. Description of the proposed methodology to be used in carrying out the independent study, 3. Brief preliminary bibliography,4. A proposed time schedule,5. If the project is expected to continue for two or more semesters, it should be clearly stated which part of the

proposed work should be completed by the end of each semester,6. Description of the final product that will be evaluated for independent study credit. Three credits of

independent study may be undertaken in a given semester; no more than 9 credits of independent study may be credited toward degree requirements. Credit and awarded by the faculty sponsor. The maximum number of independent study credits that can be applied towards a degree is 9.

Leave of AbsenceA leave of absence can be granted for one academic year (two semesters). A student must be in good standing in order to be eligible to take a leave of absence. If a student is not in good standing, a leave of absence cannot be granted, and the student electing to leave school must withdraw from the University (see below). A leave of absence must be applied for at least thirty days prior to the last day of classes of the semester for which it is applicable. Refunds after the deadline will not be considered under any circumstances. Students can obtain the forms for a leave of absence online at WPConnect.

Formal Withdrawal from the UniversityA withdrawal from the University will not be refused to any matriculated student. A withdrawal is a permanent separation from the university an indefinite length of time and is in force until the student chooses to apply for readmission. Withdrawal should not be confused with dropping a course nor should a withdrawal be confused with a leave of absence. Nonattendance in classes does not constitute a withdrawal from the University. For matriculated students, a withdrawal from the University must be officially processed through the Office of Registration Services, [email protected]. Non-matriculated students who wish to withdraw from the University during the school year are required to complete the appropriate form, which can be found online at WPConnect.

Students who withdraw from the University (from all their courses) must apply for readmission through the admissions office according to the admissions calendar. Readmission is not automatic; college or department enrollment restrictions and other considerations may not permit return during a particular semester. Students who are not in good standing upon withdrawal and subsequently seek readmission must simultaneously seek

45

readmission to a major, if previously declared. Refunds after the deadline will not be considered under any circumstances.
