Academic Policies

Please  note that the South Dakota Board of Regents is engaged in a system-wide STUDENT Project, designed to merge the separate institutional student databases into a single database. Most of the policy changes resulting from this project are reflected in this catalog; however, some changes are still pending approval. Students should consult their advisor and/or dean of their college for the most current policy information.
