The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, includes various provisions for the protection and privacy of
students and parents. Among these provisions is the requirement that educational institutions permit currently-enrolled students to
restrict the release of directory information.
The University of Louisiana at Monroe defines directory information as the following facts about a student: name, address, telephone
number, awards and scholarships received, date and place of birth, dates of attendance, degrees and dates received, current class
schedule (released to ULM, local, state and federal law enforcement agencies only), classification, college and curriculum, e-mail
address, full- and part-time status, President’s and other honors lists, most recent previously-attended educational agency or institution
(including high school), participation in recognized activities and sports, photographs (released to ULM, local, state and federal law
enforcement agencies only), and weight and height of members of athletic teams. Directory information may be released by the
University unless the student officially notifies the university that such items should not be released. Students should be aware that
their names, classifications, and colleges are listed on the Internet by The University of Louisiana at Monroe.
If a student wishes to request that directory information not be released, listed on the Internet, or published in The University of
Louisiana at Monroe Directory, he or she must complete a “Withholding of Directory Information” form in the Office of the Registrar.
This form must be completed no later than the second week of classes. Once requested, this restriction will remain in effect until the
student requests that it be removed. Only currently-enrolled students may place a hold on the release of directory information. For
further information, contact the Office of the Registrar located in University Library 302 or call (318) 342-5262.
UNDERGRADUATE COURSE LOAD
ULM schedules courses in three terms during the academic year: fall (16 weeks), spring (16 weeks), and summer (ten weeks). Each
term may include course offerings within shorter parts of terms, including first eight-week sessions, second eight-week sessions,
intersessions (three weeks), Summer I sessions (four weeks), and Summer II sessions (four weeks). Students are not normally
allowed to take more than 18 semester hours during a term or more than six semester hours in any part-of term less than ten
weeks. Under special circumstances, students with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.25 may request an extension of this limit to 21
semester hours through the Registrar’s Office. Other students with special circumstances may request a similar extension through their
dean’s office.
Undergraduate students registered for six or more hours of student teaching are limited to 15 semester hours in a term except as
approved by the Dean of the College of Arts, Education and Sciences.
Undergraduate students who schedule 12 or more semester hours for credit during a term are considered full-time students. Audited
courses are excluded from these totals. Because other agencies may define full-time status differently, students who receive any type
of financial aid (including aid awarded by the Veterans Administration or other agencies) are encouraged to contact the respective
agency to determine the number of semester hours required to receive that aid.
GRADUATE COURSE LOAD
A full-time graduate student may schedule from nine to eighteen semester hours during a regular semester. A full-time graduate
student in the College of Health and Pharmaceutical Sciences may schedule from 12 to 18 semester hours during a regular semester.
A part-time student may schedule limited course work depending upon the time which can be devoted to graduate study. A graduate
student who has a graduate assistantship or a graduate work-study position must have the approval of the major professor and be
enrolled in a minimum of nine credit hours towards degree completion. The Director of the Graduate School must approve a student’s
request to allow them to enroll in a course load exceeding 12 semester hours during a regular semester. The maximum course load for
a student registered for graduate study during any single summer session is seven semester hours; the minimum for a full-time student
is three semester hours.

The University of Louisiana at Monroe seeks to follow guidelines set forth in Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and in the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). Section 504 and the ADA help to guarantee non-discriminatory practices for those
individuals who qualify as having special needs. Those who anticipate difficulty with the registration process outlined in this notice
should seek assistance through the Counseling Center at 342-5220. Students with qualified special needs who anticipate requesting
reasonable accommodations are recommended to notify the Counseling Center (342-5220) of their disability preferably before the
beginning of the academic term, or no later than the third day of classes for that semester. If a disability develops during the academic
term for which the accommodations are requested, the student is recommended to notify the Counseling Center as soon as they
become aware of the disability. The Counseling Center will provide coordination with all divisions of the University in responding to
these requests.

Meal Plans
Diversity. It’s one of the greatest things about the university experience. It’s one of the things we offer with your dining membership.
Our memberships bring you two features:

Weekly Meal Allowance
A variety of meal plans are offered to meet the needs of residents and commuters throughout the academic year. The meal
allowance gives you the opportunity to enjoy all-you-care-to-eat dining for breakfast, lunch and dinner in our resident dining
locations. You receive a specified number of guaranteed meals per week each semester, based on the plan you select. Each
time you eat at Schulze Cafeteria, one meal is subtracted from your weekly meal balance. You may select the number of
meals based on your unique tastes, preferences, dining habits and academic schedule.

Flex Dollars
All of the dining plans offer Flex Dollars which are accepted like cash in all of our dining locations. When using Flex Dollars
you can eat Schulze, the SUB, Starbucks or even the Hawksnest convenient store and you don’t pay taxes. It works on the
same principle as a stored value or declining balance account. You can draw from your FLEX account for beverages, snacks
or full meals for you and your friends at any time. Whenever you buy a meal on campus, the total amount of your purchase is
subtracted from your meal plan dollars, and you can add additional FLEX Dollars to your card at any time at the Aramark
Office in the Student Union Building.

Commuter Meals Plans
ULM offers dining memberships for students who do not live on campus, too! Between commuting, classes, studying, and
working, who has time to put together a decent meal? Relax; enjoy our hospitality. We’ve got what you need. Using your
student ID card, simply open a meal plan account with as little as $25. Our commuter dining plans offer Block Meals (all-youcare-to-eat meals at Schulze Cafeteria), Flex Dollars, or the combination of both!
Meal plans are required for all residents.
For more complete information and cost of Meal Plans, visit ARAMARK’s website:

Content and Review
ULM uses a computerized exam for placement in math and English courses. The math exam addresses beginning algebra concepts, and the
English exam covers sentence skills.
The Compass Algebra exam includes basic operations with fractions, basic operations with integers, percentages, basic operations with decimals,
exponents, square roots, and scientific notation, averages (means, medians, and modes), ratios and proportions, multiples and factors of integers,
absolute values of numbers, counting problems and simple probability, range, linear equations in one variable, substituting values into algebraic
equations, setting up equations for given situations, basic operations with polynomials, factoring of polynomials, exponents and radicals, solving
polynomial equations by factoring, formula manipulation and field axioms, linear inequalities in one variables. Sample questions for the exam are
available at http://act.org/compass/sample/prealg.html and http://act.org/compass/sample/algebra.html.
The Compass Writing Skills exam measures your understanding of sentence structure, how sentences are put together, and what makes a
sentence complete and clear. You will be asked to correct sentences and to find the most effective way to combine sentences. Clarity is a key
issue. Be aware of grammatical errors and wordiness. Preparation should include a review of the following: sentence combining, comma rules,
parallelisms, and subordination. Any handbook (Bedford, Harbrace, Beacon, Wadsworth…) or high school English textbook will be useful for your
review. Sample test questions can be found at the following links:
http://act.org/compass/sample/pdf/writing.pdf and http:/act.org/compass/sample/write-s.html.

Your ULM ID Card is the official University of Louisiana at Monroe identification card for students, faculty, staff and affiliates. It is also a
meal card, an activities and events card and a stored-value gift card. Once issued, the card remains active as long as you are enrolled
or employed at ULM.
The two declining balance accounts associated with your ULM ID Card are Warhawk Express and Flex Dollars. Warhawk Express
works like a gift card. Depending on your needs, you deposit an amount of money into your account.
Every time you make a purchase, the purchase amount is automatically deducted from your account. Your remaining balance will be
displayed to let you know how much you have left in your account.
Flex Dollars are declining balance accounts tied to your meal plan available for use at all on-campus dining facilities and off campus at
Papa John's.
Warhawk Express is automatically activated when you add money to your Warhawk Express account.
You may deposit money to it via banner before the Fee payment deadline or anytime by contacting Student Account Services,
Warhawk ID Services, or LA Capitol Federal Credit Union.
Warhawk Express funds roll from semester to semester as long as you are enrolled and accounts are refundable, for a $10.00
processing fee at the end of any semester upon official withdrawal or when a cardholder severs their relationship with the University.
WARHAWK EXPRESS is the convenient way ULM students pay for purchases on- and off-campus. It works like a gift card. Depending
on your needs, you select a sum of money, from financial aid credit or by cash deposit, to activate your account and the amount will
appear on your fee/bill. Every time you make a purchase, you give your WARHAWK EXPRESS CARD to the cashier.
Your card is passed through the register and the amount of purchase is electronically deducted from your pre-deposited account via
the secure, encrypted magnetic stripe on the back of the card. Each time you make a purchase with your WARHAWK EXPRESS card,
the remaining balance will be displayed at the register so you'll always know how much you have left in your account.
It's simple, instead of charging purchases and receiving monthly bills, you electronically debit against the stored value in your account.
