Academic Policies and Procedures
An education from Towson University includes a broad liberal arts base and a strong knowledge of one or more major fields of study. To ensure that the Towson University degree continues to have weight and meaning, and that it signifies student work meeting or exceeding a particular level of excellence, TU insists that certain standards and policies apply to all undergraduate students. These policies are published every year in this catalog and any revisions are effective as of the date of the catalog’s publication (unless otherwise stated).
The Registrar's Office is responsible for overseeing the following polices, procedures and programs. The office serves undergraduate and graduate students, faculty members, administrators, alumni and the general public in the areas of registration, grades, records and transcripts, reenrollment, inter-institutional registration and national exchange programs, and graduation.
