Online MBA Academic Regulations

Student Responsibility

Graduate students assume full responsibility for knowledge of all UT Arlington Graduate School and University rules, regulations and deadlines published in the Graduate Catalog, the UT Telecampus MBA Online Handbook of Operating Procedures, and of all departmental and program requirements concerning their degree programs. Students should also be aware of academic regulations of their host institution (institution providing instruction for the course).

Good Standing and Satisfactory Scholastic Progress

Graduate students are considered to be in good academic standing and making satisfactory progress in a degree program if they (1) meet all admission conditions within the time required and (2) maintain a 3.0 grade-point average on all coursework undertaken while in Graduate School.

No student will be allowed to repeat a course in order to change a passing grade. A student may repeat a course only if that course is specifically designated in this catalog as one that can be repeated for credit. A student who fails to receive credit (grade of D or F) may repeat a course in order to obtain credit, in which case the grades for both courses will count in computing the student's average.

Grievances Related to Grades

It is the obligation of the student, in attempting to resolve any student grievance regarding grades, first to make a serious effort to resolve the matter with the individual with whom the grievance originated. Individual instructors retain primary responsibility for assigning grades. Typically, the instructor's judgment is final unless compelling evidence shows discrimination, preferential treatment or procedural irregularities. Students will be required to follow the grade grievance procedure of the host campus.

Petitions

Students may request exceptions to published rules by filing a petition with the Dean of Graduate Studies. Limited exceptions to some rules may be approved if the facts presented by the petitioner fully justify an exception, as regarded by the Committee on Graduate Studies and the Dean of Graduate Studies. All petitions must be submitted on petition forms available in the UT Arlington Graduate School Office and from the UT Arlington Graduate Business Services Office.

Academic Dishonesty

All students are expected to pursue their academic careers with honesty and integrity. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating on a test or other coursework, plagiarism (offering the work of another as one's own) and unauthorized collaboration with another person. Students found responsible for dishonesty in their academic pursuits are subject to penalties that may range from disciplinary probation to suspension to expulsion from the University. In accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the Board of Regents of The University of Texas System (Part One, Chapter VI), institutional procedures regarding allegations of academic dishonesty are outlined in Part Two, Chapter 2, of the UT Arlington Handbook of Operating Procedures.
