2.1 STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
All students must consult with their academic advisor at least once a semester/term and are strongly encouraged to maintain regular contact with their advisors.

While the academic advisor serves as a resource for policies and procedures in academic areas and monitors the student's academic progress, it is ultimately the student's responsibility to ensure his/her own awareness and successful completion of academic requirements. The student is responsible for knowing the requirements for the degree. Requirements may change without notice or obligation.

All students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the University Academic Integrity Policy, as stated in The Student Handbook and Code of Students Rights, Responsibilities and Conduct. The handbook is available in the Office of Student Activities, Room 305, Duquesne University.
