The fees, programs, and requirements contained in this catalog are effective with the 2005 fall quarter. They are necessarily subject to change at the discretion of Ohio University. The student assumes responsibility for knowing University, college, and departmental regulations and for complying with all applicable procedures. In no case will a requirement be waived or an exception granted because the student pleads ignorance of the requirement or asserts that her/his advisor or another authority did not inform the student of the requirement. While the personnel of the Office of Graduate Studies and the student’s advisor will endeavor to aid in every way possible, the responsibility for meeting requirements stated in this catalog rests with the student.
