The full policy is available upon request from the Registration Office. The following items are included here because of their general interest:

to all students.
2. Access to student records by parents or outside agencies is permitted only upon receipt of a written release by
the student.
3. Students may not have access to parental financial records submitted in support of financial aid applications.
4. With certain exceptions, each student has access to his or her personal and academic records.
PRIOR APPROVAL
Students who wish to take course work at another institution should complete a prior approval form and obtain the required signatures to ensure that such course work is transferable to ESU. Prior approval forms are available in the Registration office Plumb Hall 108..
APPLICATION FOR DEGREE
At the time the student’s degree objective becomes definite (and not later than the end of the junior year), the student must submit an official application for a degree with the Degree Analysis Office, Plumb Hall Room 108H. A similar application must be completed for a minor, a second teaching field, or a double major. The application requires the signatures of the advisor and department chair.

TEACHING LICENSING
Applications or information about on-line applications may be obtained by contacting the teacher licensing specialist, shall6@emporia.edu or Room 208 in the Office of Professional Education of Visser Hall.
FINAL EXAMINATION SCHEDULE
The first day that a class regularly meets determines the final exam block. (Example: For a class that regularly meet MT, MW, MWF, MTWR, MTWRF, WRF, WF, M only, F only, etc., the student will check the “MWF” blocks. For a class that regularly meets TR, TWR, TWRF, T only, R only, RF, etc., the student will check the "TR" blocks.)
The time within each block on each block on the final exam schedule is determined by dropping the minutes off the regular class time. (Example: For a class that regularly begins at 9:15, 9:30, or 9:45 on Wed., the student will check the 9:00 MWF block.)
After is has been determined which block fits a specific class, the student will check the far left column to determine the time of the examination and the top of the schedule to determine the day the examination will be given. Examples: The examination time for a 9:30 TR class would be 10:10-12:00 Thursday, December 13. The examination for a 1:00 MWF class would be 1:00-2:50 on Wednesday, December 12. The examination for an 11:30 Thursday class would be 8:00-9:50 on Friday, December 14.
