For more information, see the Academic Affairs Procedures Handbook (PDF, 683k). This handbook is designed to be used in conjunction with the official State Regents’ Chapter 3, state policies and regulations, and state laws. It should be noted that the section numbering within the handbook is not in sequential order because procedure sections are derived from the official State Regents’ Policy and Procedures Manual, Chapter 3.
