Who investigates when the person accused of misconduct is the dean? A warning at one university is expulsion at another for the same offence How many credits can you take in one semester before the overload fee starts? How long can a university reopen a misconduct case after you graduate? What happens if you fail a prerequisite and register for the next course anyway? Withdrawing after the deadline leaves a W that graduate schools count as a failure Grade appeal deadlines are often ten working days and almost nobody knows it A minor usually requires more credits than the programme description admits Incomplete grades silently turn into Fs when nobody files the paperwork Credit by examination lets you skip the course but not the tuition Double majors rarely finish in four years without summer courses Academic probation is triggered by semester GPA at most schools and not by cumulative GPA Do students get to see the evidence against them before a misconduct hearing? Retaking a course replaces the grade at some schools and leaves both grades on the transcript at others Transfer credits from a community college are accepted far less often than the brochure suggests Pass or fail grading looks safe until you need that course as a prerequisite Do you need a faculty advisor for a club to be officially recognized? The university will not recognize a club without a written constitution
