Academic Standards

ASL’s Academic Standards Document provides comprehensive rules for governing the academic standards applied to students. To the extent the rules fail to provide adequate guidance for administering a particular aspect of the students’ academic program, the Dean may adopt temporary rules which shall have full force and effect until the Faculty adopts a permanent standard.

The academic standards are adopted by majority vote of the faculty and are subject to amendment by a majority vote of the faculty.

The document covers such issues as the Code of Academic Conduct, Duty to Report, and the Disciplinary Process for violations. Other issues covered include Absences, Grading, Exams, Use of Computers, Class Rank, and the Dean’s List.

Students are encouraged to review the document.
