Office of Academic Deans

The Dean of Studies oversees academic advising and sustains the work of the academic deans. The dean supervises the administration of academic policies, regulations and decisions of faculty and faculty committees. The dean chairs the AAB and the Fellowship Committee. The dean assumes the duties and authority of the Dean of the College relating to leaves of absence and withdrawals, course extensions, drops and withdrawals, special majors, off-campus multicultural-course-requirement requests, ADA accommodations for distribution requirements, and the granting of academic honors.

This office includes the class deans (a dean of first-year studies, and other deans who each follow a class through from their sophomore year through their senior year, e.g., the dean of the class of 2006).

The deans coordinate academic advising, academic orientation, and academic support programs such as tutoring, undergraduate academic advising, and learning skills. The academic deans consider exceptions to academic requirements, review and assess student records, and provide counsel to individuals experiencing academic difficulties.
