Responsibility of the Student
The academic advising process is crucial to a student’s success in college. In planning a program of study, students should coordinate their personal goals with their academic and professional goals and should discuss long-range plans and career opportunities available in a particular major with their advisors. Students must obtain approval from their advisor in order to register or preregister for courses. Students should contact their advisors: • during preregistration advisement • prior to any change of classes (dropping or adding classes) • prior to a change in major • following any report of unsatisfactory work • prior to withdrawal from the University • when experiencing personal difficulties, social adjustment, or academic problems Students are responsible for being familiar with the requirements of the University as outlined in the undergraduate bulletin and on the University’s website and should closely monitor their online degree evaluation, grade reports, and transfer evaluation to track their progress toward a degree. Students are ultimately responsible for meeting all requirements for their degrees. The University reserves the right to modify degree requirements, programs of study, and curriculum as it deems necessary or appropriate. The following guidelines are intended to help you work effectively with your academic advisor.
Academic Guidelines Students should:
• ask questions about classes or degree requirements • ask questions about policies and procedures • ask questions regarding prerequisites or curriculum requirements • ask questions about long-range goals or majors • be honest • ask advisors for help
Advisors should: • help clarify goals and objectives • know and explain policies, procedures and requirements • be able to help develop a course of study leading to degree completion • explain the reasons for course requirements or policies • refer students to appropriate sources of help
ACADEMIC PROGRESS
Class Standing
Undergraduate students are classified in the following categories: 0-29 hours, Freshman 30-59 hours, Sophomore 60-89 hours, Junior 90+ hours, Senior
ACADEMIC REGULATIONS & PROCEDURES
Declaration of major and minor
Students should choose their major and minor fields of study by the end of the sophomore year. Students who select a major early in their college career can avoid costly delays in completing their academic degrees. Courses for the major and minor must be selected in consultation with the academic advisor. A minor is optional except where required for a specific major.
Change of major or minor
To change a major, students may obtain a change-of-major form in any department office or from the Registrar’s Office. The form must be taken to the new department for approval and for assignment of an academic advisor and then to the Registrar’s Office, where the change will be recorded. To change a minor, a student should contact the Registrar’s Office.
Assignment of academic advisors
Advisors are assigned by the major department. When a student changes majors, a new advisor will be assigned by the new major department when the change of major is approved. A student may change advisors within a department by consulting the chair of the department.
Degree Evaluations Degree evaluations indicating the equivalency of transfer courses are available to new transfer students via forUM. Updated degree evaluations for all currently enrolled students are available by accessing CAPP through forUM at any time. Any questions concerning degree evaluations should be directed to the student’s academic advisor or the Registrar’s Office.
What is FERPA?
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) This federal law gives you certain rights in respect to your education records. They are: • the right to inspect and review your records within 45 days of request. • the right to request an amendment of your records if you believe them to be inaccurate or misleading. • the right to privacy of personally identifiable information in your records with some exceptions. • the right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the University of Montevallo to comply with the requirements of FERPA. For a full explanation of FERPA and procedures to implement your rights, visit the Registrar’s Office website at www.montevallo.edu/registrar.

Transient courses and grades
A student must receive approval from the chair of the department, the academic advisor, and the Registrar to register for courses at another college or university. Any grade and/or credit earned while attending another institution as a transient student will be counted in your GPA and/or attempted or earned hours.
Grade-point calculations
All applicable grade-point averages, including total institution and overall, will appear on the academic transcript.
Absence policy
The University expects students to attend all classes in which they are enrolled. Instructors may establish specific regulations governing their classes and will provide them to their students at the beginning of each term.
Class standing
Students must have at least a 2.0 cumulative University of Montevallo grade point average (UM GPA) to maintain academic good standing.
Maintaining minimum academic progress
8
A student is expected to achieve consistent progress toward the attainment of a University degree. Earning the following minimum cumulative UM GPAs is considered minimum academic progress: 0-29 earned hours*, 1.5 GPA (UM) 30-59 earned hours*, 1.7 GPA (UM) 60-89 earned hours*, 1.9 GPA (UM) 90 + earned hours*, 2.0 GPA (UM) *Includes transfer hours
ACADEMIC WARNING At the end of each semester, a student will be placed on academic warning if his or her cumulative UM GPA is below 2.0 but above the appropriate minimum academic progress standard as defined at left. A student may be removed from academic warning only by attaining a minimum 2.0 cumulative UM GPA. Academic warning will be noted on the student’s academic transcript. Academic warning does not restrict registration for a subsequent term.
Freshman academic warning
At the end of each semester, a freshman will be placed on freshman academic warning if his or her cumulative UM GPA is below 1.50. Freshman academic warning will be noted on the student’s academic transcript. Freshman academic warning does not restrict registration for a subsequent term. Students who are classified as freshmen and who are placed on freshman academic warning will be required to schedule an appointment with their department chair to review academic progress prior to the first day of classes in the subsequent term.
ACADEMIC SUSPENSION Suspension means a student may not attend the University during the period of his or her suspension. Students should be aware that once they are placed on suspension from the University, they are no longer making satisfactory academic progress as required for continued receipt of financial aid. Students petitioning for reinstatement to the University under the procedure outlined below must apply separately to the Office of Student Financial Services in order to regain financial aid. Academic suspension typically results from a student’s failure to demonstrate satisfactory academic progress; however, it is also possible for a student to be suspended as a result of academic dishonesty (see policy Academic Dishonesty). First year freshmen may be placed on academic warning but are not subject to suspension for failure to meet minimum standards for academic progress until the end of their second regular semester at UM. Freshmen may, however, be suspended during their first year as a result of academic dishonesty. All other students are subject to suspension at the end of any regular semester when they fail to meet minimum standards for academic progress or may be suspended as a result of academic dishonesty.
First suspension
A student who does not maintain minimum academic progress, as defined above, will be suspended from study for one regular academic semester, and the suspension will be noted on the student’s official transcript. The student may attend summer school at UM in an attempt to improve his or her GPA. If summer enrollment results in the student meeting minimum academic progress standards, the student will be reinstated for the fall semester.
A student may also petition the department chair for his/her major to have the suspension lifted prior to serving it. For a student who has not declared a major or who has more than one major, the Provost will determine the appropriate party to consider reinstatement. If the student is not reinstated through the reinstatement review process and does not meet standards for minimum academic progress through courses completed during summer school at UM, the suspension will go into effect, and the student will not be permitted to enroll in the next regular semester. A student may not transfer to the University any credits earned at another college or university while on suspension. Following the one semester suspension, the student will be reinstated under academic warning (see previous page) and will be required to earn a semester GPA of 2.0 or higher on 12-13 semester hours (unless the dean approves a reduced number of hours) in order to continue enrollment.
Second suspension A student who returns from his or her first academic suspension and does not earn a semester GPA of 2.0 or higher on the required number of semester hours or who in a future semester fails to meet minimum standards for academic progress will be suspended for two semesters. The student will be allowed to enroll in summer school. If summer enrollment results in the student meeting minimum academic progress standards, the student will be reinstated for the fall semester. A student may also petition the Reinstatement Committee in his or her college for reinstatement. For a student who has not declared a major or who has more than one major, the Provost will identify the Reinstatement Committee. If the student is not reinstated through the readmission review process and does not meet standards for minimum academic progress through courses completed during summer school at UM, the second suspension will go into effect, and the student will not be permitted to enroll for the next two regular semesters.
Indefinite suspension A student who returns from his or her second academic suspension and does not earn a semester GPA of 2.0 or higher on the required number of semester hours or who in a future semester fails to meet minimum standards for academic progress will be suspended indefinitely and may not enroll in any term (including summer school). An appeal will not be considered by the College Reinstatement Committee until the student has been out of school for a minimum of two regular semesters.
Reinstatement petition process First suspension – Appeal to department chair The student must make an appointment to meet with
the appropriate department chair to present his/her case for reinstatement no later than three weekdays prior to the beginning of a regular semester. If the department chair denies the request, the student may appeal to the dean. The decision of the dean is final and will be communicated to the Registrar, the Office of Student Financial Services, Housing and other administrative offices as appropriate. Second Suspension – Appeal to College Reinstatement Committee The procedure for applying for reinstatement is as follows: 1. The student must complete a reinstatement petition, available from the Registrar’s Office, and submit it to the Reinstatement Committee of the college from which he or she was suspended no later than four weekdays prior to the beginning of a regular semester. 2. The Reinstatement Committee (see description below) will review the student’s petition and may require a meeting with the student. The committee may approve the petition, may approve the petition with stipulations, or may disapprove the petition. Stipulations may include limiting the number of courses the student may take or specifying the GPA the student must earn in the next semester. 3. If the Reinstatement Committee denies the student’s petition, the student may appeal in writing to the college dean. The decision of the dean will be final. The student may not appeal a positive decision. 4. The final decision of the Reinstatement Committee or dean will be communicated to the Registrar, the Office of Student Financial Services, Housing, and other administrative offices as appropriate.
Reinstatement Committee
Each college will appoint a Reinstatement Committee that will be charged with reviewing petitions submitted by students pursuing majors offered by the college for academic reinstatement following a second or indefinite suspension. The Reinstatement Committee will have three members (usually department chairs).
Special conditions
Students placed on academic warning are usually not eligible to participate in extracurricular activities; however, a student incurring warning during a period of active participation in an intercollegiate sport, theatrical production or other officially recognized extracurricular activity in which the student represents the University (in the case of athletes, from the first scheduled game through the last scheduled game only, including playoffs) may be allowed to complete the period of participation, provided that this provision does not conflict with relevant external rules. For purposes of enforcing this policy, the beginning and ending dates of each activity are determined on a case-by-case basis.
9
HONORS Graduation honors that are designated on the transcript and on the diploma are based on the following standard: Cumulative UM GPA.................... graduation status 3.5-3.69............................................................. cum laude 3.7-3.89................................................magna cum laude 3.9-4.0.................................................summa cum laude
President’s List and Dean’s List
Students who earn at least 12 semester hours and a minimum 3.8 GPA during a semester are placed on the President’s List for that term. Those students who earn at least 12 semester hours and between a 3.5 and a 3.79 GPA during a semester are placed on the Dean’s List for that term. The designations appear on the transcript.
FINANCIAL AID Many of the questions you may have regarding your
student financial aid can be answered when you visit our website at www.montevallo.edu/finaid/. Valuable information regarding the application process, eligibility requirements, various types of aid and much more will be found there. If you need personal assistance, please contact the Office of Student Financial Services at 205-665-6050 or email finaid@ montevallo.edu. The office is located in Palmer Hall on the second floor.
Applying for financial aid
Although you must be admitted to UM to be considered for an award, you can submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) before you are admitted. Requirements for the different types of aid vary, but typically you must be a U.S. citizen enrolled in a degree program at least half time (six credit hours) and be making satisfactory academic progress. Almost all aid requires that you be enrolled for a minimum of 12 hours to receive maximum benefits. Most types of financial aid are need-based. Need is determined by subtracting your estimated family contribution (provided when you file the FAFSA) from the cost of attendance. The cost of attendance has several components including tuition, fees, room, board, books, supplies, travel, etc.
10
Communication with students
All communication from the Office of Student Financial Services will be sent to your forUM email. Letters will not be mailed. You will be notified if additional documents are needed to complete your file, and you will be notified when financial aid has been awarded. The email will direct you to Banner Self Service where you will be able to view your personal information. Your letter of acceptance to the University of Montevallo provides information regarding your forUM email address and access to Banner Self Service. Check forUM email and Banner Self Service often to remain current with any updates that may occur.
There are three categories of aid:
Grants and scholarships are awarded on the basis of need, academic achievement, talent or other special characteristics. All grants are need-based. Scholarships may or may not be need-based. Visit www. fastweb.com for more information regarding external scholarship sources. Federal Work Study is a need-based employment program that allows students to work on campus and be paid once a month. An effort is made to refer you to jobs related to your major. Contact the Career Center and/or campus offices for work opportunities.
Students who do not qualify for Federal Work Study may be hired by an individual department through the department’s budget. Low-interest student loans allow you to borrow money for your education, and repayment begins after you cease to be enrolled at least half–time (six credit hours). The most commonly used loans are the Federal Stafford Loan and the Federal Perkins Loan. More details are provided on our website: www.montevallo.edu/finaid/.
Important things to remember:
• Summer aid is based on remaining eligibility after fall and spring semester aid has been awarded. Separate summer applications are available on our website or in the Office of Student Financial Services the first week in April. • Keep records. Start a file of your own for copies of all forms and correspondence concerning your financial aid. • Be thorough. Be sure to fill out all necessary information on all necessary forms. You will not be considered for any aid until your file is complete. • Reapply! Remember that if you are receiving aid this year, you must reapply (as soon after January 1 as possible) to receive it again next year.
Stay informed. Check campus publications and announcements for deadlines and new information.
The FAFSA
Step #1 for financial aid File the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) early. March 1 is the annual priority date. This is not a deadline. For more information, contact: Office of Student Financial Services 205-665-6050, Second Floor, Palmer Hall
CASHIER’S OFFICE
General billing
In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, we cannot release student financial information to parents or guardians without written consent of the student, or unless the student is a dependent of the parent as defined in Section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code. If consent is NOT given by the submission of the Privacy Act Release Form, adequate documentation of dependent status is required for the parent to gain access to the student’s financial information. A copy of the parents’ latest federal income tax form would be sufficient documentation of dependent status. Students will be responsible for viewing their account online through the forUM website. Once logged into forUM, to view account detail, click on the Banner tab located at the top of the screen. Please review your account online through Banner Self Services before contacting the Cashier’s Office. Payment deadline is the first day of class of each term by 5 p.m. A late payment fee ($50.00) will be charged if payment is not received by the first day of class. The University accepts cash, personal check and credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express). Payment may also be made online by accessing the student’s account at Banner Self Services or through the e-payment parent portal. The University accepts American Express, Discover, Visa, MasterCard and ACH electronic check payments online. All loans and grants must be credited to the student’s account by the designated payment deadline day listed. A late payment fee ($50.00) will be charged if there is still a balance due after the loans are applied. Failure to pay the balance could result in loss of the student’s schedule and deactivation of ID cards, loss of meal plans and ability to gain access to assigned residence hall rooms.

COLLEGE NIGHT College Night is the most honored and beloved tradition at UM. It has no rival for first place in the affection of students and alumni who consider it their unique contribution to the academic world. The origin of College Night is closely associated with UM’s transition from a secondary school to a college. The Class of 1919, observing, “Now our school is becoming a college, we have begun to take up college stunts,” held the first College Night March 3, 1919. Oral tradition has it that College Night began as a celebration of George Washington’s Birthday. The program was divided into four parts, each given by a class. Purple and Gold, as designations for the rival teams, were first used in 1921 as a part of the celebration of the school’s 25th birthday. These first performances were held in a dining room on an improvised stage. College Night remained a dining–room–situated event until Feb. 23, 1927, when one performance was given for students in the dining room and a second, for the public, was given in the following month in Reynolds Hall. College Night performances changed to Palmer Hall upon its completion in 1930. The program itself has changed with the passing of time. After early experimentation, the evening’s activities included, from each competing side, a toast, a pep song, a slow song, a stunt and an impersonation, interspersed with music and rallying cheers. No major changes occurred until 1950 when student leaders and faculty advisors decided that College Night needed a unifying theme. It was agreed that each side would give one original production into which all songs, drama, comedy, dance or any other features would be integrated. So College Night, the highlight of each UM school year, is best explained: “If you have never lived through one,” a former leader wrote in 1931, “never cried, laughed or sweated through one, know this. It is the crest of the wave of college spirit. It is the high spot that will stand out in your mind as meaning college when all the rest has faded.” (excerpt from History of Alabama College by Dr. Lucille Griffith, Professor Emerita of History).
