Faculty have jurisdiction over academic practices within their courses. However, Deans of the College and Student Support Services may at times provide dean's support notes on behalf of students who are experiencing significant personal or health circumstances that impact their ability to complete academic work. Students should consult course syllabi and speak with their instructors about their individual circumstances before reaching out to a dean. Students must request notes from a meeting with a dean.
