THE UNIVERSITY’S EXPECTATIONS
These expectations have been established in order to protect a specialized environment conducive to learning which fosters integrity, academic success, personal and professional growth, and responsible citizenship.
Academic Integrity and Caliber of Work
Promoting academic achievement and integrity is everyone’s responsibility. You are expected to read your syllabus (a course outline or description), attend class regularly, participate in class discussions, and ask questions. Faculty members are expected to set clear guidelines, give honest feedback, and uphold standards.
Examples of behaviors that will not be tolerated include:
• Sexual misconduct, intimate partner/dating violence, and/or stalking • Suggestive or insulting sounds or obscene gestures • Off-color jokes • Cheating, plagiarism, or sabotage • Other physical, verbal, graphic, or written conduct of a sexual nature • Unwelcome sexual advances or requests for sexual activity by a person or persons in a position of power or authority over another person • Engaging in or encouraging underage drinking • Hazing for the purposes of initiation, admission into, affiliation with, or as a condition for continued membership in a group or organization • Treating someone inequitably on the basis of sex, gender identity, or gender expression • Bullying or mistreating someone on the basis of actual or perceived membership in a protected category (e.g., religion, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, veteran-era status, age, disability, etc.). • Threatening or intimidating behaviors • Physical abuse or other conduct which threatens or endangers the health or safety of any person
Achieving a degree from the University of Missouri-St. Louis is a prestigious accomplishment. It signifies that you have met all of the requirements and learned the body of knowledge necessary for the discipline you chose. The value of your degree is greatly diminished when grades are not achieved honestly.
Student Conduct and Community Standards
The University of Missouri-St. Louis Code of Conduct has established academic and behavioral standards for students. As a student, you are responsible to the academic community of the University as well as the broader community of which you are a part. A student at the University assumes an obligation to behave in a manner compatible with the University’s function as an educational institution and voluntarily enters into a community of high achieving scholars. Consequently, students must adhere to community standards in accordance with the University’s mission and expectations.
You can find the Student Code of Conduct online at.... bulletin.umsl.edu/studentconduct
Any student who commits, aids, or attempts to commit any of the acts below will be subject to disciplinary action under the Student Code of Conduct. If you observe such behavior, please notify Student Conduct & Community Standards (314-516- 5211) or Academic Integrity (314516-5304).
STUDENT ENRICHMENT & ACHIEVEMENT (SEA)

ACADEMIC ADVISING
Students’ Responsibilities:
• Contact advisors by telephone, email, or during posted office hours. • Prepare a list of questions and concerns for each advising session. • Acquire knowledge about the university’s programs, requirements, policies, and procedures. • Provide honest, accurate information to the adviser such as: transfer credits, complete transcript information from other educational institutions, advanced credit, placement test results, etc. • Clarify personal values and goals and interact in the decision-making process. • Follow through with suggestions, referrals, and resources. • Keep a record of academic progress and accept responsibility for academic decisions and performance. • Work to develop a mutual relationship with assigned advisor(s).
Everyone needs support to succeed. At UMSL you will have support in abundance. Staff, faculty, and administrators are here to guide you through your educational journey and help you make informed decisions based on accurate information. It will be your job to get to know these campus professionals and utilize their resources throughout your college career. Take time to find the resources and people who will support you. This section is a starting point.
Academic Advisors
The advisor and student are engaged in a collaborative, respectful relationship, and learning process with one another. Both the student and advisor have responsibilities in their shared partnership as noted below:
Advisors’ Responsibilities:
• Be accessible to students during posted office hours, by telephone, and by email. • Explain the university’s programs, requirements, policies, and procedures. • Provide timely and accurate information. • Listen carefully to students’ questions and concerns. • Assist students in planning realistic programs consistent with their abilities and interests. • Make referrals based on students’ needs and available resources. • Assess progress and communicate it clearly. • Encourage students to develop a collaborative, professional relationship with assigned advisor(s).
Campus Advising Resources and Information:
Students have access to several resources on campus for selecting a major, discussing career options, and planning a curriculum appropriate to their needs, interests, and academic strengths. Through the advising program, students develop a working relationship with assigned advisor(s). Students who are exploring majors work individually with advisors in the College of Arts and Sciences and may utilize assessments to assist them in determining how their own personalities and interests can influence decisions regarding majors or career fields.

REGISTRATION TOOLS
Registration Holds
A registration hold can be placed on your record by various campus offices for a variety of reasons. These holds are intended to help you take care of tasks or obligations that are critical to your success at the University. An example is a hold that will prevent you from registering for classes until you have had an academic advisor appointment.
For future terms, you will register using your Self-Service Student Center in MyView. Registration appointment times will indicate when you can begin to register. Talk to your academic advisor each semester and use the tools available in the Schedule of Classes, My Degree, and the University Bulletin to assist with course selection. Search for Classes: Locate classes by subject, title, and other identifying criteria. Preview class times, dates, locations, instructor, and section status. Updates show when openings available. Schedule Builder: With this tool, you can easily generate a class schedule that fits your needs.
If you have a question about a registration hold and how to resolve it, you can start by asking your college academic advisor. They will either resolve the hold or direct you to the office that can.
