Legitimate Student Expectations Statement
The following statement of legitimate student expectations to which Marquette University regularly aspires was adopted by the Academic Senate at its meeting of March 31, 1976. It was amended in 1991.
1. The university shall publish the general qualifications for establishing and maintaining acceptable academic standing within the university and all degree requirements for particular curricula and major and minor fields of study.
2. The university shall, not later than the time of course registration, identify the regular faculty who are to teach each course offered. In sectioned courses, if a member of the regular faculty identified to teach a section is
changed after registration, any student enrolled in that section may change sections if possible.
3. Each faculty person shall, normally not later than the
first class period in the course, inform the students
enrolled in the course of:
a. The course objectives.
b. Requirements respecting books and materials,
class preparation, attendance and participation,
and papers, quizzes, and examinations.
c. Methods of evaluating student performance,
including specifically the elements considered in
assigning grades.
4. The university shall preserve and protect each student’s
right to question and to challenge data, conclusions
and opinions of their respective faculty and
fellow students, subject to such reasonable requirements
of academic order as may be established by
the faculty in charge of their courses.
5. Academic grades shall be based solely on academic
performance and, where appropriate, professional
performance. Some colleges may include
class attendance
in courses offered as a measure of academic
performance. The university shall maintain procedures
for the review of grades alleged to be based on computational
inaccuracies or improper grading criteria.
6. The university shall recognize the right of each student
to review and discuss his/her academic performance
with those who teach his/her courses.
7. Each faculty person shall observe whatever rules have
been officially established by the university, or his or
her college or program, on academic matters such as
the scheduling and administering of examinations. The
university and/or the college or program shall see that
all such rules are appropriately promulgated to both
faculty and students.
