MSU policies and services

Code of teaching responsibility
All MSU instructors--faculty and doctoral students--are bound by MSU's Code of Teaching Responsibility, which is an important basis for interaction between students and instructors. The Code also is available from the MSU Ombudsman's web site.

Academic Freedom for Students at MSU
This is the University's statement on the rights and responsibilities of MSU students. AFR also is available from the MSU Ombudsman's web site.The TE Department's Procedures for Handling Disputes between Students and Instructors conforms to the “AFR” and is more specific for the teacher preparation program.

Final examination policy
This policy requires that all sections of all courses should meet during finals week--whether or not a final exam will be given--for a set of purposes named in the policy. The Final Exam schedule provides the meeting times for these sessions. In practical terms, this policy provides for having a normal working session in the last regular meeting of a course, and then up to two more hours, in the following week, to collect final assignments, summarize the course, and evaluate it.

Religious Observance Policy | Provost's Supplementary Letter
" The faculty and staff should be sensitive to the observance of these holidays so that students who absent themselves from class on these days are not seriously disadvantaged...."

Angel
is MSU’s course management software, by which instructors can publish syllabi, upload materials for download by members of classes, keep grades, administer tests and quizzes, etc.

Registrar’s web page
This page is a trove of information for students and instructors. Also, of facilities for instructors: You can look up your class meeting place in the schedule of courses, get your class list, file grades, send emails to your class (Angel also provides that affordance). The page is so useful that a link to it has been included in the left-side menu for all elementary teams pages.

Selected MSU services for students
This selective list also is available from the left menu in elementary teams pages. MSU's list of services for students is much more extensive.
