Case Western Reserve University Vision
Case Western Reserve University strives to be the most powerful learning environment in the world. We
seek to have transformational impact on all who teach, learn, discover and work here so they are prepared
and engaged to serve humanity. As a great research university, we must embrace responsible risk-taking in
pursuit of bold aspirations for national and global leadership.
•
We combine experiential learning with rigorous scholarship in our undergraduate and all educational
programs to produce educated learners who are awake to new possibilities.
•
We invest in the arts, humanities, and social sciences as important areas of scholarship and as an
essential foundation for preparing morally and socially responsible life-long learners.
•
We build on our existing strengths, including engineering, biomedical sciences and professional
education, and pursue productive partnerships with other outstanding institutions.
•
We are guided by our values at every level to promote a diverse, challenging, supportive,
entrepreneurial, and interdisciplinary environment of openness, respect, accountability and
academic freedom.
Case Western Reserve University Statement of Ethics
Universities seek to preserve, disseminate and advance knowledge. At Case, as elsewhere, we
recognize that to fulfill these purposes requires a norm of expected conduct shared by all in the University
community, governed by truthfulness, openness to new ideas, and consideration for the individual rights of
others, including the right to hold and express opinions different from our own.
The University’s mission rests on the premise of intellectual honesty in the classroom, the laboratory, the
office, and the solitary examination desk. Without a prevailing ethic of honor and integrity not only in
scientific pursuits but also in all scholarly activity, the very search for knowledge is impaired. In these
respects, each of us -- especially but not exclusively faculty--must regard oneself as a mentor for others.
These principles we strive to uphold make it possible for the larger society to place trust in the degrees
we confer, the research we produce, the scholarship we represent and disseminate, and the critical
assessments we make of the performance of students and faculty, as well as judgments of staff and
administrators.
To safeguard the standards on which we all depend, each of us must, therefore, accept individual
responsibility for our behavior and our work and refrain from taking credit for the work of others.
The culture of a university also requires that the rights of all be protected, particularly by those entrusted
with authority for judgment of the work of others.
The University being a human community is subject to human failings, ambiguities, and errors. It is,
therefore, the responsibility of the bodies regulating the affairs of faculty, students, and staff to maintain
processes for judging and resolving instances where these principles may have been violated. However, all
such systems depend for their effectiveness, in turn, on the acceptance of common norms of contact -- the
ties of trust which bind the university community together.
Academic Freedom
Fundamental to the purposes of the University is the belief that progress in social and individual welfare
is ultimately dependent on the maintenance of freedom in academic processes. Especially vital is the
protection of expression which is critical toward conventional thought or established interests.
Academic freedom is a right of both tenured and non-tenured faculty members, and applies to University
activities including teaching and research. Specifically, each faculty member may consider in his or her
classes any topic relevant to the subject matter of the course as defined by the appropriate educational unit.
Each faculty member is entitled to full freedom of scholarly investigation and publication of his or her
findings.
i
Notice of Policy on Email Communications
Official communications from the University may be sent electronically using the student’s Universityassigned email address. The University expects that students will read such official University
communications in a timely fashion. Students who choose to forward email from their University account to
another email address remain responsible for receiving and reading official University communications.
Access to and Expectations of Persons Using
Case Computing Technology Resources
It is the policy of Case to maintain access for its community to local, national and international sources of
electronic information in order to provide an atmosphere that encourages the free exchange of ideas and
sharing of information. Case maintains a variety of information technologies for use as resources for people,
catalysts for learning, and increased access to technology and an enriched quality of learning. Access to
this environment and the University’s information technology resources is a privilege and must be treated
with high ethical and legal standards.
Preserving the access to information resources is a community effort that requires each member to act
responsibly and guard against abuses. Therefore, both the Case community as a whole and each individual
user have an obligation to abide by the following standards of acceptable and ethical use:
• Use only those computing and information technology resources and data for which you have
authorization and only in the manner and to the extent authorized.
•
•
•
Use computing and information technology resources only for their intended purpose.
Protect the access and integrity of computing and information technology resources.
Abide by applicable laws and University policies and all applicable contracts and licenses and
respect the copyright and intellectual property rights of others, including the legal use of copyrighted
material.
•
Respect the privacy and person rights of others.
Access to Case information technology and computing resources is a privilege granted to students,
faculty, and staff of Case. The university extends access privileges to individual users of the University’s
information technology and computing resources. The extension of these privileges is predicated on the
user’s acceptance of and adherence to the corresponding user responsibilities detailed in this policy and
addendum. The University reserves the rights to limit, restrict, or extend access to information technology
resources. For the full policy statement, see www.case.edu/its/features/pdf/itsaup.pdf
Notice of Policy Regarding Requests for Exceptions
Requests for exceptions to any academic or administrative policy must be submitted within three months
of the end of the semester for which the exception is sought.
Notice of University, City, State or National Emergency
In the event of a University, city, state or national emergency, information will be provided to the
University community, if possible, via the University website.
Notice of Nondiscriminatory Policy as to Students
Case Western Reserve University admits students of any race, religion, age, sex, color, disability, sexual
orientation, and national or ethnic origin to all the rights and privileges, programs, and activities generally
accorded or made available to students at the University. It does not discriminate on the basis of race,
religion, age, sex, color, disability, sexual orientation, or national or ethnic origin in administering its
educational policies, admission policies, employment, promotion and compensation policies, scholarship
and loan programs, and athletic or other University-administered programs.

The bachelor’s degree programs require students
to study one field in depth (the major), and to
complete general education requirements or a core
curriculum as appropriate to the major field and
degree program selected. There is overlap among
core curricula and general education requirements,
which allows students flexibility in the choice of
majors and degree programs.
Every candidate for a baccalaureate degree from
the University must:

DUAL DEGREE
To qualify for two undergraduate degrees, i.e., a
B.A. and a B.S. degree, or two B.S. degrees, a
student must satisfy all requirements for each
degree, and complete for the second degree thirty
semester hours of study beyond the hours required
for the first degree. A student may, however,
complete two or more majors within the 120 hour
minimum requirement for the B.A. degree.
Students completing both a B.A. and a B.S. degree
are exempted from 6 hours of the 90 hour arts and
sciences requirement for the B.A. A student
desiring to be a candidate for two degrees should
meet with a dean in the Office of Undergraduate
Studies, Sears 357, to discuss dual degree
candidacy.
Arts and Sciences General Education

DEAN’S APPROVED MAJOR
Any student interested in developing a major of his/
her own design may submit, before the end of the
second year, a proposed program for approval by
the Deans’ Committee. For additional information
contact Dean Margaret Robinson or Dean Timothy
Dodd.
4
A minor program shall consist of no fewer
than 15 and no more than 18 semester
hours of specified course work in a
discipline other than the student’s major.
The responsibility for designating the
requirements for a minor shall lie with the
department offering the minor.
For all courses taken to satisfy minor
requirements and for which grades are
averaged, students pursuing degrees
based on the General Education
Requirements of the College of Arts and
Sciences, the Weatherhead General
Education Requirements, the School of
Nursing General Education Requirements,
or the SAGES pilot program alternative
must earn a minimum cumulative average
of 2.00. Transfer students who wish to
complete a minor must complete at Case
Western Reserve University at least half
the requirements for the minor.
Minors for Engineering Majors
APPLICATION FOR GRADUATION
An engineering student’s academic work in a
discipline other than the student’s major may be
recognized as a minor. A student will be entitled to
have the minor designation recorded on his/her
transcript upon successful completion of a basic
academic program in a discipline not within the
student’s major.
Students must file an application in the Office of
Undergraduate Studies (Sears 357) by the
following dates: October 10 for January graduation;
December 1 for May graduation; July 13 for August
graduation. Students who have completed all
degree requirements at the end of four years or
more must graduate at that time. Students
completing all requirements in less than four years
may choose to graduate early or at the end of four
years.
The completion of a minor academic program does
not relieve the student of any requirements for his/
her major degree. The following rules govern the
minor program for an engineering student:
1.
2.
3.
4.
GRADUATION CHECK
Students must ensure that their Degree Progress
Reports (DPRs) reflect accurately their progress
toward their degrees. All requested corrections and
exceptions must be submitted to the Office of
Undergraduate Studies at least one semester prior
to graduation.
A minor program shall consist of no fewer than
15 and no more than 18 semester hours of
course work.
The responsibility for designating the
requirements for a minor shall lie with the
department offering the minor.
With the exception of the humanities and
social science requirement of the Engineering
Core, no more than two courses taken for the
minor may be used simultaneously to satisfy
the requirements of the student’s major field,
including department requirements, technical
electives and the Engineering Core.
An engineering student who chooses to do so
may, by taking work that goes beyond the
requirement for a three-course sequence in
the humanities or social sciences, complete a
minor concentration in either of these areas,
and count towards the minor up to 12 hours of
humanities/social science courses that are
also being counted towards the 21 hour
humanities/social sciences requirement of the
Engineering Core. For such a minor to be
posted on a transcript, the student must earn a
cumulative grade point average of 2.00 for all
courses taken to satisfy minor requirements
and for which grades are averaged. See
minor concentrations on the following page.

ART EDUCATION (continued)
Admission to the program requires application to
Case and presentation of an art portfolio to the
Institute. Credentials must be acceptable to both
institutions. Usually, academic work is taken at
Case and studio work is taken at the Institute.
Students in art education who expect to meet
Ohio’s licensure requirements must apply for
advanced standing by the end of their first
semester junior year. To apply, students must
submit to the art education faculty information
about grade point average, written personal goals,
three faculty recommendations, self-analysis of
program progress up to the point of evaluation, and
have an interview with the program director. Art
education faculty may (1) accept a student for
advanced standing; (2) accept a student with
reservation with a remedial plan; or (3) reject a
student and recommend a career change.
To enter student teaching, a student must have a
2.50 University cumulative grade point average, a
3.00 cumulative grade point average in
professional education courses, and a total of 300
contact hours of clinical field-based experience
acquired in a variety of educational settings.
Fingerprinting for a criminal background check by
the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification is
required. For students who have not lived in Ohio
consecutively for the past five years, a background
check through the Federal Bureau of Investigation
is also required. To complete the teacher training
program successfully, a 3.00 grade point average
must be maintained in professional education
courses and a University cumulative grade point
average of 2.50 is required. In addition to these
requirements, the State of Ohio requires passing
scores on both the Principles of Learning and
Teaching (PLT) and Art Content Knowledge Praxis
II Examinations. Upon satisfactory completion of
both University and State requirements, the
student is recommended by the University Director
of Teacher Licensure for the Initial Ohio Two-year
Provisional Visual Arts Specialist (Pre-K-12)
License to teach art in the public schools in Ohio
and reciprocating states. Completion of the B.S. in
Art Education degree is separate from the
assurance that the State of Ohio’s Provisional
Visual Arts Specialist Teacher Licensure will be
awarded. Teacher Licensure is also obtainable
through the Art Education Graduate Program of
study.

teachers of music. Admission to the program
requires: (1) being accepted to Case; (2) being
accepted as a music major through an audition
process before matriculation and at the end of the
freshman year; (3) passing an interview with the
music education faculty; and (4) successful
completion of MUSC 241 Foundations of Music
Education. Music theory and applied music lessons
are taken at the Cleveland Institute of Music.
Students in Music Education must apply for
advanced standing by the end of their first
semester junior year. To apply for advanced
standing, students must submit to the music
education faculty information about grade point
average, written personal goals, an updated
ePortfolio, three faculty recommendations, selfanalysis of program progress up to the point of
evaluation, and have an interview with the program
director. Music Education faculty may (1) accept a
student for advanced standing; (2) accept a

Accountancy (M.Acc.)
B.S./M.S.
Students who are candidates for the B.S. in
accountancy and who wish to earn a master’s degree
in accountancy may apply to the B.S./M.Acc.
program. Students in the program enroll during the
senior year in 6 hours of M.Acc. courses that will
serve toward satisfaction of both the B.S. and M.Acc.
degree requirements. Before taking graduate
coursework, the student must have completed all
prerequisites for the course on the undergraduate
level and have a “B” average in those prerequisites.
Following completion of the B.S., students in the
program will enroll in the Weatherhead School of
Management to complete an additional 30 hours of
courses to satisfy M.Acc. degree requirements. For
information, see Professor Larry Parker, 459 Peter B.
Lewis Building, Ext. 2065, E-mail: lmp3@case.edu.
The Integrated B.S./M.S. Program is intended for
highly motivated candidates for the B.S. in
engineering, computer science, mathematics, natural
sciences or statistics whose objective is a degree at
the master’s or doctor’s level. Application to the BS/
MS program must be made after completion of 75
semester hours of coursework and prior to attaining
senior status (completion of 90 semester hours).
Generally, this means that a student will submit the
application during his/her sixth semester of
undergraduate course enrollment and will have no
more than two semesters of remaining BS
requirements to complete.
A student admitted to the program may, in the senior
year, take up to nine hours of graduate courses that
will count towards both BS and MS requirements.
The courses to be double-counted must be specified
on the student’s MS Program of Study. Students for
whom the master’s project or thesis is a continuation
and development of the senior project should register
for Exxx 651 Thesis (or the appropriate project
course) during the senior year and are expected to
complete all other courses for the BS before enrolling

practical training focus on military skills, officer
professionalism, leadership training, and the development of military-related officer and management techniques and procedures.
Reserve Office Training Corps (ROTC) programs
are available to Case Western Reserve University
students through cooperative arrangements with
the University of Akron, for Air Force ROTC, and
with John Carroll University, for Army ROTC. Each
of these universities offers military studies, leadership and training courses. Participating students
do not receive academic credit at Case Western
Reserve for these courses, but may be exempted
from the undergraduate physical education requirement. Students who are not recipients of
ROTC scholarships may enroll in the first and second year ROTC courses without incurring any
military obligation. University students enrolling in
ROTC programs are eligible to compete for ROTC
scholarships awarded by the Air Force or the

ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
student until the major or minor declaration form,
bearing the signature of the student, the name of
the advisor, and the signature of the department
representative, has been completed and returned
to the Office of Undergraduate Studies, Sears 357.
After the first year, students who have not declared
a major should consult their assigned advisor
(noted in their on-line student information) or the
academic representative of an academic
department of interest for advice and schedule
approval.
ACADEMIC ADVISING
Academic advising is an important component of
the educational program at Case Western Reserve
University. Academic advisors assist students in
the exploration of academic opportunities at the
University and in the selection of courses. Advisors
may refer students to other sources of information
and assistance at the University. Students are
expected to initiate and maintain regular contact
with their advisors to address the student’s
curricular and career concerns, and to review
progress towards graduation. Students are
expected to meet with advisors when declaring a
major or minor, before registering for classes, and
when making corrections to their degree progress
reports.
ACADEMIC GRIEVANCE POLICY
A student who wants to register a complaint about
course instruction or evaluation should first bring
the matter to the direct attention of the professor or
instructor involved. If the matter is not satisfactorily
resolved, the student should go to the chairman of
the academic department in question to seek
departmental review. If neither step resolves the
complaint, the student may take the matter to the
faculty member’s dean for final review and
decision.
First Year Advisors
The first year advisors are faculty members and
administrators interested in helping entering
students to plan a course of study and to meet
effectively the challenges of college work. They are
ready to discuss plans for careers and further study
in graduate or professional schools and to refer
students to other sources of advice and counseling
as necessary. First year undergraduates are urged
to consult their advisors at any time about their
academic interests or concerns, and must have
their schedules and changes of schedules
approved by their advisors.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY
Students, faculty, and administrators share
responsibility for the determination and
preservation of standards of academic integrity.
They must not only adhere to their own personal
codes of integrity but also be prepared to educate
others about the importance of academic integrity,
to take reasonable precaution to discourage
violations of academic integrity, and to adjudicate
violations.
Selection of Majors and Minors;
Departmental Advisors
Although some first year undergraduates enter with
definite goals, they are not assigned to
departmental advisors until they have completed at
least a semester’s work. After the completion of the
first semester’s work, students should seek from
department chairs or representatives specific
information regarding programs and major
concentration in which they have an interest. See
pages 8 and 9 for a list of designated
representatives.
For students, education about the importance of
academic integrity begins during the admissions
process. The centrality of integrity to the academic
enterprise is reinforced during new student
orientation when students engage in discussion
about academic integrity. Specific mention of
academic integrity and course-specific guidelines
should be presented in all classes. Programs and
instruction about academic integrity guidelines also
should be offered throughout the students’
undergraduate career.
Students should select a major no later than the
end of the second year. When a student selects a
specific major or minor, the department
representative assigns a faculty advisor. A choice
or change of major or minor is not recorded for any
Faculty and students are expected to uphold
standards of academic integrity by taking
reasonable precaution in the academic arena.

integrity standards. If the faculty member, in
consultation with the Dean, determines that the
evidence is not adequate to charge the student
with a violation, the matter will be dropped.
Otherwise, the following procedures will be
followed:
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY (CONTINUED)
Reasonable precaution involves implementing
measures that reduce the opportunities for
academic misconduct but do not inhibit inquiry,
create disruption or distraction in the testing
environment, or create an atmosphere of mistrust.
The vitality of academic integrity is dependent upon
the willingness of community members to confront
instances of suspected wrongdoing. Faculty have
specific responsibility to address suspected or
reported violations as indicated below.
All other members of the academic community are
expected to report directly and confidentially their
suspicion of violation to a faculty member or a
dean or to approach suspected violators and to
remind them of their obligation to uphold standards
of academic integrity.
First Violations
If the faculty member and the student agree that a
violation has occurred and the violation is
determined to be a first violation (the university has
no record of previous violations by the student of
the university’s Standards of Conduct), the faculty
member shall choose either to sanction the student
or to refer the case to the academic integrity board.
If the faculty member chooses to sanction the
student, the minimum sanction is failure in the work
in question and the maximum sanction is failure in
the course. The faculty member will be provided
with a standard reporting form to be signed by both
the student and faculty member.
Definition of Violations
All forms of academic dishonesty including
cheating, plagiarism, misrepresentation, and
obstruction are violations of academic integrity
standards. Cheating includes copying from
another’s work, falsifying problem solutions or
laboratory reports, or using unauthorized sources,
notes or computer programs. Plagiarism includes
the presentation, without proper attribution, of
another’s words or ideas from printed or electronic
sources. It is also plagiarism to submit, without the
instructor’s consent, an assignment in one class
previously submitted in another. Misrepresentation
includes forgery of official academic documents,
the presentation of altered or falsified documents
or testimony to a university office or official, taking
an exam for another student, or lying about
personal circumstances to postpone tests or
assignments. Obstruction occurs when a student
engages in unreasonable conduct that interferes
with another’s ability to conduct scholarly activity.
Destroying a student’s computer file, stealing a
student’s notebook, or stealing a book on reserve
in the library are examples of obstruction.
However, the case will be referred to the Assistant
Vice President for Student Affairs for integrity
board action if:
1. the student claims not to have violated
academic integrity standards or the student
disagrees with the sanction imposed by the
professor;
2. the faculty member feels that the seriousness
of the first offense warrants presentation to the
academic integrity board; or
3.
the faculty member, after consultation with the
dean, prefers to have the academic integrity
board investigate or adjudicate the alleged
violation, or prefers that the board sanction the
student.
The signed report form from a faculty member or
the finding of responsibility by the academic
integrity board will become part of the student’s
university judicial file. Students found responsible
for a first violation will be required, in addition to
any other sanctions imposed, to attend an ethics
education program or to complete an ethics
exercise as assigned by the dean of undergraduate
studies or the Assistant Vice President for Student
Affairs.
Discussing, Reporting, and Adjudicating
Violations
If a faculty member suspects that an
undergraduate student has violated academic
integrity standards, the faculty member shall advise
the student and the departmental chair and consult
with the Dean of Undergraduate Studies about the
appropriate course of action. Before speaking with
the student, the faculty member also may choose
to consult with the Chair or Dean about academic
82
suspension, or expulsion.
Subsequent Violations
If the university judicial file indicates that the
student suspected of a violation has been
responsible for one or more previous violations of
the university’s Standards of Conduct, the case will
be referred to the Assistant Vice President for
Student Affairs for Academic Integrity Board
Action.
In cases in which the Academic Integrity Board
finds a student responsible for a second or
subsequent violation, the minimum sanction will be
failure in the course; the maximum penalty will be
expulsion.
If the Academic Integrity Board finds a student
responsible for misrepresentation or obstruction,
the minimum sanction will be university disciplinary
probation ; the maximum penalty will be expulsion.
Misrepresentation and Obstruction
Reports of suspected academic misrepresentation
or obstruction occurring in settings other than the
classroom will be referred to the Assistant Vice
President for Student Affairs for Academic Integrity
Board Action.
Violations Reported after Voluntary
Withdrawal or Academic Separation
Suspected violations of academic integrity
standards reported after a student voluntarily
withdraws or is academically separated will be
investigated and adjudicated. A student who
withdraws or is academically separated during the
investigation and adjudication of a suspected
violation may be asked to appear at a hearing or, if
the student fails to appear, have his or her case
heard in absentia. If the student is found
responsible for a violation, sanctions can be
imposed.
Academic Integrity Board
If a suspected or known violation of academic
integrity standards warrants consideration by the
Academic Integrity Board, the Assistant Vice
President for Student Affairs (or his or her
designee) will convene the board. The board will
be composed of three students (voting members)
appointed by the Undergraduate Student
Government, two faculty (voting members)
appointed by the Executive Committee of the
Faculty Senate and two administrators (non-voting
members). One administrator will be a dean from
the Office of Undergraduate Studies. The other
administrator, the Assistant Vice President for
Student Affairs or his or her designee, will chair the
board. All members of the board may question
witnesses. Academic Integrity Board Procedure,
the vote required for the determination of
responsibility, and the evidence standard will be
the same as those for the University Judicial
Board.
Violations Reported after Graduation
In the event that a suspected violation of academic
integrity standards is reported after graduation, the
Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs will
make a determination as to the feasibility of
investigation and adjudication. Graduation will not
preempt investigation or adjudication of a
suspected violation when those processes are
feasible. If a student is found responsible for a
violation and the sanction imposed makes the
student ineligible to earn his or her degree, the
degree may be revoked.
Should the board find the student not responsible
for a suspected violation, the faculty member and
the student will be so informed. The faculty
member will be asked to evaluate the student’s
performance in the assignment in question and to
issue a grade based on his or her normal grading
practices.
Maintenance of Records
Violations of academic integrity standards are
considered violations of the university’s Standards
of Conduct and will be recorded in the student’s
judicial record. University judicial files are
maintained by the Assistant Vice President for
Student Affairs in the Office of Student Affairs.
If the board finds a student responsible for a
violation of academic integrity standards, the board
will notify the student and the faculty member. The
board can sanction violations by issuing failure in
the work in question, failure in the course,
university disciplinary warning, university
disciplinary probation, university disciplinary

ADVANCED PLACEMENT,
INTERNATIONAL
BACCALAUREATE EXAMINATIONS
AND CREDIT
Students may earn degree credit on the basis of
advanced examinations taken while in secondary
school; examinations eligible for credit and/or
advanced placement include, but are not limited to
College Board Advanced Placement Examinations
and International Baccalaureate Higher Level
Examinations. Determination of the criteria for
granting credit and/or placement is made by the
appropriate department. In assigning credit or
granting advanced placement for credentials from
outside the United States, the University is guided
by the placement recommendations and grade
equivalencies approved by the National Council on
the Evaluation of Foreign Educational Credentials.
(For details see Appendix)
COURSE CHANGES (DROP/ADD)
Changes in course schedules must be submitted to
the Registrar’s Office using the drop/add form or
SOLAR before the end of the second week of
classes during the fall and spring semesters and
on or before the second day of classes during the
summer session.
COURSE PLACEMENT
No credit will be granted for completion of any
course in foreign language or mathematics that
repeats the course level completed in high school.
First year undergraduates who have questions
regarding their eligibility to receive credit for foreign
language or mathematics courses should see
Dean Julie Amon.
APPLIED ART AND MUSIC
COURSES
ENROLLMENT STATUS
Art: Students may take studio courses for credit at
The Cleveland Institute of Art only with
authorization from Mr. Timothy Shuckerow, Case
Director of Art Studios, 2215 Adelbert.
Classification as a full-time student requires
enrollment for 12 or more semester hours.
Eligibility for campus housing, many forms of
financial aid, and for participation on intercollegiate,
varsity sports teams requires full-time status.
Students registering for fewer than 12 semester
hours are classified as part-time and charged
tuition on the basis of the number of semester
hours being taken.
Music: Permits may be obtained at the Music
Department in Haydn Hall to enroll for credit in
Applied Music. Charges for private lessons will be
covered by the full tuition rate for music and music
education majors only. All other students will pay
an additional fee.
FINAL EXAMINATIONS
ATTENDANCE
Final examinations normally are required in all
courses and must be given during the final
examination period at the time assigned by the
Registrar; they may not be given during the final
week of classes or on Reading Days. Any
exception must be approved by the Dean of
Undergraduate Studies.
Students are expected to attend classes regularly.
Each instructor is free to determine the extent to
which absences affect the final grades of students
but should make the policy regarding attendance
known at the start of the course. Instructors should
report excessive absences to the Office of
Undergraduate Studies. Instructors who judge a
student’s absences from class to be excessive may
drop the student from the course with a grade of F.
Instructors taking such action must notify the
student’s dean in writing.
No student will be required to take more than two
final examinations on a single day. A student who
has three final examinations scheduled for a single
day should go to the Office of Undergraduate
Studies and obtain the assistance of the Dean in
arranging to take one of those examinations on an
alternative day during the final examination period.
Similarly, a student with conflicting examinations
Students unable to attend classes because of
illness should notify their instructors and make the
appropriate arrangements directly with the
instructor. The University Health Service and the
84
FINAL EXAMINATIONS (continued)
should seek the assistance of the Dean of
Undergraduate Studies in arranging to have the
time of one examination changed.
PROFICIENCY EXAMINATIONS
AND CREDIT
Departments within each academic unit offering
undergraduate programs may choose to offer
students the opportunity to earn course credit in
specific courses by proficiency examination. To
qualify for proficiency examination credit for a
course, the student’s examination performance
must demonstrate knowledge and skills at a level
no lower than that of an average student who
successfully completes the course. Upon
notification from the academic department, the
Office of Undergraduate Studies will direct the
Office of the Registrar to post credit for the course
on the transcript. The grade will be recorded as
PR, and will not be included in a student’s grade
point average. Note: Any student who receives
proficiency credit for a course through a proficiency
examination administered during a semester when
the student is not registered for a full-time schedule
(12 or more semester hours) at Case Western
Reserve University is charged a fee equal to onethird of the present tuition charge for the course.
No fee is charged if the student does not receive
credit from the examination.
A student must explain immediately and in
writing to the Dean of Undergraduate Studies
an absence from a final examination. If the
explanation is acceptable, the Dean will authorize
the assignment of the grade Incomplete and the
administration of a make-up examination by the
instructor. In the event of an unexcused absence
from a final examination, the instructor should
assign the student a final grade that assumes a
grade of zero on the final examination and is
consistent with the grading policy established for
the course.
FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Credit earned for the first semester (101) of a
beginning foreign language will appear on the
transcript and will be included in the student’s
grade point average but will not count towards the
total hours required for the degree unless the
second semester of the same language is
completed as well.
RE-ENROLLMENT AFTER
VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL
OVERLOADS
The normal full-time load is 14-18 semester hours.
Continuing students may carry 19-21 hours if they
have a cumulative average of 3.20 or better. To
register for 22 or 23 hours, a minimum average of
3.50 is required. Any schedule of more than 18
hours requires dean’s approval. Graduating seniors
will be approved for overloads if they need such a
schedule in order to graduate at the end of the
semester in question.
Students who have voluntarily withdrawn from the
University and have not taken courses elsewhere
following their withdrawal may reenroll in any
semester. Students who have taken courses
elsewhere following withdrawal must provide
official transcripts of their work with their request
for re-enrollment. Upon re-enrollment following a
voluntary withdrawal, students retain the hours
earned and quality points for courses completed
prior to withdrawal. In the first semester of reenrollment, their academic status is the status in
effect at the time of withdrawal, unless that status
is changed by action of the Committee on
Academic Standing.
PETITIONS
Students may request exceptions to university
rules and curricular requirements by petition to the
Office of Undergraduate Studies. Please be
reminded that ignorance of regulations that are
published in the University General Bulletin, the
Schedule of Courses, or this Handbook is not
justification for an exception. Petition forms are
available in Sears 357. Petitions are referred to the
appropriate committee of the University
Undergraduate Faculty.
REGISTRATION
For continuing students, registration for the Fall
Semester begins in April, and registration for the
Spring Semester begins in November. Students
registered before the billing cutoff dates (generally
mid-July for fall registration, and early December
for spring registration) will be billed by e-mail for
tuition and fees. After the cutoff dates, students
must be cleared through the Office of Student
85
offered at Case Western Reserve University.
Exceptions to this policy will be permitted only
in the event of significant extenuating
considerations. Students who desire the
opportunity to take elsewhere in Cuyahoga

I.D. card at the time of the appointment.
STUDY AT OTHER COLLEGES
After matriculation in Case Western Reserve
University, students are permitted to earn at other
accredited colleges or universities no more than a
total of 15 semester hours, including courses taken
through the cross registration program. Permission
of a dean in the Office of Undergraduate Studies
must be obtained in advance if the student wishes
to enroll elsewhere. Further, if a student wishes to
take elsewhere a course that will serve toward
satisfaction of major or minor requirements it must
also be approved by the departmental chair or
representative. Credit earned elsewhere after
matriculation in the colleges is not applied toward
the residence requirement of a minimum of 60
hours earned in the colleges. Forms requesting
permission for study at other institutions are
available in Undergraduate Studies.
SUMMER SCHOOL
After matriculation at Case Western Reserve
University, students are permitted to apply for
permission to take courses off campus during the
summer. The following conditions apply:
1.
Academic work may be taken at another
institution only with permission obtained in
advance from the Office of Undergraduate
Studies. Course descriptions must be provided
with the request for permission.
2.
Institutions must be accredited.
3.
Students will not normally be permitted to take
elsewhere in Cuyahoga County courses
10. Students who have not declared a major
should consult their first year advisor or dean
about the choice of courses applicable to the
degree.
86
Grades for courses taken at other institutions will
not be entered on the student’s record nor will they
be computed in the student’s grade point average.
TRANSFER CREDIT
Students may receive credit by transfer from
another accredited college, university, or
technological institute in the United States or from
institutions of higher education outside the United
States under the following conditions:
1. At the time of admission to Case upon
presentation of an official transcript from
each institution previously attended. Credit
will be awarded for courses equivalent or
comparable to those offered by the
University and completed with a grade of C
or better. Any such courses taken prior to
the student’s graduation from high school
must be listed in the college’s catalog
among courses offered for degree credit to
the college’s undergraduates, taken in the
company of matriculated college students,
and organized and taught by college
faculty. In addition, to be considered for
transfer credit, such courses must not have
been used to fulfill high school graduation
requirements. The allocation of transfer
credit is determined by the Office of
Undergraduate Studies in consultation with
the appropriate department.
2. After enrollment in the University, only
when approval has been secured in
advance from the Office of Undergraduate
Studies. After matriculation in the
University, undergraduates are not
permitted to earn more than 15 semester
hours as transient students at other
accredited institutions. Credit earned
elsewhere after matriculation is not applied
toward the 60 hour minimum required in
residence.
Credit is not awarded for work done at an
unaccredited institution in the United States except
by proficiency examination in those departments of
Case Western Reserve University offering that
opportunity. The award of transfer credit for work
done at institutions outside the United States is
subject to departmental evaluation and to the
recommendations of the National Council on the
Evaluation of Foreign Credentials.
WITHDRAWAL FROM A COURSE
With Dean’s approval, a student may withdraw
from a course with a grade of W through the end of
the eleventh week of the semester. After that date
a student is not permitted to withdraw from a
course unless, in the judgment of the dean, there
are extenuating circumstances justifying a grade of
W. A first time, first year student who is subject to
the first year grading practices (see “Grades in the
First Undergraduate Year” under Grades, below)
may withdraw from a course after the end of the
11th week, but no later than the last day of classes.
Failure to attend class or notification of only the
instructor, does not constitute withdrawal from a
course. Notice of withdrawal from a course must be
signed by the student’s dean and taken to the
registrar on the appropriate form.
WITHDRAWAL FROM THE
UNIVERSITY
To withdraw from the University during a semester
or session, a student must complete an official
withdrawal form in the Office of Undergraduate
Studies. If unable to complete the withdrawal in
person, the student must send written notification
to the Office of Undergraduate Studies. If the
withdrawal is necessary for reasons of health, a
statement from the student’s physician to the
University Health Service may be required as a
condition of readmission. Grades of WD will be
assigned in all courses in which a student is
registered at the time of withdrawal, provided that a
student follows the procedures stated above.
Failure to attend classes or notification of
instructors only, does not constitute withdrawal
from the University.
A student who ceases to attend or otherwise
participate in courses without officially withdrawing
will be assigned the grade F for each course in
which he or she is enrolled.
Students who do not plan to return for the following
semester are asked to notify the Office of
Undergraduate Studies (Sears 357) in person or in
writing.
A student dismissed for poor scholarship from any
institution cannot receive credit for courses taken in
the first two sessions after that dismissal without
prior permission of the Dean of Undergraduate
Studies.

GRADES
students in the class and b) the student has been
passing the course and only a small segment of
the course, such as a term paper, remains to be
completed. It is the student’s responsibility to notify
the instructor of the circumstances preventing
completion of all assigned work. In the absence of
notification or adequate justification, the instructor
has the authority to assign the student a final grade
that assumes a failing grade for the missing work.
An Incomplete grade should not be assigned
Grades at Case Western Reserve University are
issued on the following scale with good standing
based on the requirement of a 2.00 average for
graduation. Academic averages are computed by
dividing the number of quality points earned by the
number of hours attempted, excluding transfer
credit and courses graded P.
Grade……………………Quality points per hour
A …………………………………………(Excellent) 4
B ………………………………………...…...(Good) 3
C …………………………………………...…..(Fair) 2
D …………………………………………..(Passing) 1
F …………………………...……………….(Failure) 0
(This grade will be given for academic failure as
well as failure to attend class without formally
withdrawing.)
I……………………………………………..Incomplete
W……………………………Withdrawal from a class
WD……………Withdrawal from all classes during a
given semester
P…...…………...Passing in a Pass/No Pass course
NP...............Not passing in a Pass/No Pass course
R............For courses which extend over more than
one semester
AD....................................................................Audit
RPT..........................Repeated in later semester for
evaluative grade
Grades in the First Undergraduate Year: For the
first two semesters of full-time enrollment, students
who are beginning their college studies will earn
credit and grades only for those courses completed
with a grade of D or higher. Any courses for which
a grade of F or W is assigned will not be included
in the computation of the grade point average and
will not be posted on the official transcript. (Grades
of F or W will, however, appear on the student’s
grade report and advising transcript as FF or WW.)
This grading policy is not available to part-time or
transfer students and does not apply to the
summer session.
a)
when a student has been absent for much of
the semester and/or has done little of the work
required for a course, or
b)
because a student is absent from a final
examination, unless the dean has authorized
the grade.
Changing the Incomplete Grade: The instructor
shall submit to the Registrar a final evaluative
grade to replace the Incomplete upon completion
of the work outstanding by a date established for
the student by the instructor. The amount of
additional time allowed the student should serve to
accommodate the student while being fair to other
students in the course. It may be no more than a
few days or weeks and, at the extreme, it should
not extend past the eleventh week of the session
following the one in which the Incomplete grade
was received. In certain cases (such as students
on probation) the dean may establish an earlier
date for completion of courses with Incomplete
grades. When a student fails to submit the work
required for removing the Incomplete by the date
established, the instructor shall transmit to the
Registrar a final grade that assumes a failing
performance for the missing work. In the absence
of the assignment of a grade by the instructor, the
Registrar will convert the I to F when the deadline
for making up Incomplete grades from a previous
semester has passed.
AUDIT
GRADE OF INCOMPLETE
A student may audit a course with the dean’s or
advisor’s approval and the consent of the instructor
of the course. An auditor receives no credit for the
course. Registration in a course cannot be
changed from audit to credit or the reverse after
the end of the drop/add period.
Assignment of the Incomplete Grade: The
Incomplete grade (I) is assigned by and at the
discretion of the instructor when a) there are
extenuating circumstances, explained to the
instructor before the assignment of the grade,
which clearly justify an extension of time beyond
the requirements established for and met by other
88
AUDIT (continued)
However, a student may take for credit a course he
or she audited in an earlier semester. At the
beginning of the course, the student and instructor
should reach agreement regarding the
requirements to be met for a grade of AD. The
grade of AD is entered on the student’s transcript if
approved by the instructor of the course. If the
instructor does not approve the grade AD, the
enrollment is not posted on the transcript.
MIDTERM GRADES
Midterm grades are assigned in undergraduate
courses at the end of the eighth week of each
semester. At midterm, an instructor may assign to
undergraduates evaluative letter grades (A, B, C,
D, or F) or grades to indicate satisfactory progress
(S) or unsatisfactory progress (U). S and U may
not be assigned as final course grades in
undergraduate courses. An asterisk (*) on a
midterm grade report indicates that the instructor
failed to submit midterm grades.
PASS/NO PASS
Courses elected on a Pass/No Pass basis and
completed with a grade of D or higher will be
entered with the grade P on a student’s transcript.
Courses taken Pass/No Pass and for which a
grade of F is earned will be entered on the
transcript with the letter grade NP. Courses
completed with letter grade P under this option will
be counted for credit toward the baccalaureate.
Courses completed with the grade NP do not earn
credit. Courses completed with grades P and NP
are not included in computing the grade point
average.
The Pass/No Pass Option is subject to the
following regulations:
1.
The Pass/No Pass Option is exercised during
the last three days on which classes are
scheduled.
2.
It is available only during regular Fall and
Spring semesters to full-time students who are
in good standing.
3.
It can be exercised for only one course during
any semester.
4.
It cannot be used for courses being taken for
satisfaction of core or general education
requirements.
5.
It cannot be used for courses taken for the
satisfaction of requirements of a major or
minor concentration.
6.
Courses offered only on a Pass/No Pass basis
with the approval of the curriculum committee
do not affect the student’s use of the Pass/No
Pass Option.
7.
Instructors are not notified of a student’s use
of this option. They are required to submit
evaluative grades for all students and these
are converted to Pass/No Pass in the
Registrar’s Office. The meaning of the P and
NP will be noted on the transcript.
Students may view their midterm grades by going
to the student information section of the Registrar’s
web site at:www.cwru.edu/provost/registrar/
stuinfo_reg.html. The purpose of midterm grades
is advisory; the grades are not part of a student’s
official academic record or transcript. Students who
have any low or unreported midterm grades should
discuss their progress with their instructors and
with their advisors.
Midterm grade reports provide an opportunity for
students to check the accuracy of their course
schedule. If the course listing on the midterm grade
report disagrees in any way with the schedule of
courses for which the student believes he/she
registered, the student should see a dean in the
Office of Undergraduate Studies no later than the
end of the 10th week of classes to attempt to
resolve the discrepancy.
COURSE REPETITION
A student desiring the opportunity to repeat a
course because of dissatisfaction with the quality of
an earlier performance is eligible to do so, but the
student must advise the Office of Undergraduate
Studies of his/her intention by completing a Course
Repetition Form. Upon completion of the repeated
course at Case for an evaluative grade - A, B, C,
D, or F - the grade received for the earlier
enrollment will be replaced by the designation RPT
and will no longer be computed in either the
semester or cumulative grade point averages. The
only grade posted and averaged for a course on
the student’s record will be that resulting from the
most recently completed enrollment in that course.
This option may be exercised subject to the
following conditions:
89
COURSE REPETITION (continued)
1.
The repetition must occur within one calendar
year of the previous enrollment or, for courses
that are not offered annually, in the next
semester in which the course is offered.
2.
A student may not use the Pass/No Pass
option in a course that is being repeated.
3.
An academic action that occurred under the
earlier grade is neither reversed nor removed
from the record as a result of a change in the
semester or cumulative averages that results
from the repetition of one or more courses.
CAUTION: Students who are the recipients of any
form of federal financial aid (grants, loans, work
study, etc.) and use the RPT Option in order to
repeat a course that previously earned a passing
grade must enroll for a minimum of 12 credits for
which credit had not been earned previously.
GRADE REPORTS AND
TRANSCRIPTS
The Registrar provides to the student and the
Office of Undergraduate Studies a copy of each
student’s grades for each semester. Students
requiring copies of their transcripts must request
those at the Transcript Office in Yost Hall. The
University considers the grades earned by a
student and other information about the student’s
performance at the University confidential and will
release such information only upon written request
by the student. Transcripts will not be issued to or
on behalf of students who have not discharged all
obligations to the University.

ACADEMIC STANDING REGULATIONS
ineligible to represent the University in
intercollegiate activities and may not hold an
elected or appointed office or committee
chairmanship in any campus organization. There
are two categories of probation:
GOOD STANDING
The First Year: For the first two semesters of fulltime enrollment students who are beginning their
college studies will earn credit and grades only for
those courses completed with a grade of D or
higher. Any courses for which a grade of F or W is
assigned will not be included in the computation of
the grade point average and will not be posted on
the transcript. This grading policy is not available to
part-time or transfer students and does not apply to
the summer session. In order to maintain good
standing a first year undergraduate must earn at
Case a minimum of 9 hours and an average of
1.70 or higher in the first semester and a total of 21
hours with a cumulative average of 1.75 or higher
by the end of the second semester of full-time
enrollment.
1. Academic Probation: Students will be placed
on academic probation for failure to achieve the
standards of performance specified above.
When placed on academic probation, students
will be required to meet a standard of
improvement established for individual students
by the colleges. They are normally eligible for a
maximum of two consecutive semesters of
probation for the purpose of restoring
themselves to good standing. However, the
second semester of probation will be granted
only in those cases where during a first
semester of probation progress has been made
toward achieving good standing.
Thereafter: Following the first year grades of F will
be posted on the transcript and will be used in the
computation of the grade point average. Following
the first year, the requirements for good standing
are:
a)
for students with 22-40 hours earned, a
cumulative grade point average of 1.80
2. Probation (incomplete): A student will be
placed on Probation (Incomplete) if he/she has
incomplete grades which if converted to F’s
would result in the student’s being placed on
academic probation. Once the incompletes are
converted to grades, the student shall be
restored to good standing or placed on
academic probation as determined by the
semester and/or cumulative grade point
average that results.
b)
for students with 41-59 hours earned, a
cumulative grade point average of 1.90
SEPARATION
c)
for students with 60-89 hours earned, a
cumulative grade point average of 1.95
c)
for students with 90 or more hours earned,
a cumulative grade point average of 2.00
1) A semester grade point average of 1.75 or
higher and
2) a cumulative grade point average as follows:
Students on academic probation who fail to meet
the standard of improvement established by the
colleges will be eligible to be separated from the
colleges for at least two academic sessions,
including the summer session.
Students with incomplete grades may be placed on
“probation (incomplete)” as described below.
A student is eligible for separation without a
semester of probation for either of the
following reasons:
Part-time and transfer students will be subject to
the cumulative average requirements that are
consistent with their hours earned.
PROBATION
Students who, at the end of any semester, fail to
maintain the standard of performance required for
good standing as specified above will be placed on
probation. Students placed on probation are
91
1.
the student’s semester grade point average is
less than 1.00
2.
the student has not earned more than a total
of 18 credit hours in two consecutive
semesters of enrollment for full-time study.
INELIGIBLE TO REGISTER
Students on probation will be declared “ineligible to
register” when they have Incomplete grades which
if averaged as F make them eligible for separation.
Such students will be required to finish the
incomplete courses with grades that justify their
retention before they will be allowed to continue in
the colleges.
RESTORATION TO GOOD
STANDING
Students will be restored to Good Standing at the
end of their semester of academic probation if they
have earned at least 12 hours of credit with a
semester grade point average of 1.75 or higher
and have attained the cumulative grade point
average required for good standing (see above).
READMISSION
Students separated for reasons of scholarship may
petition for readmission after two regular sessions
have elapsed. In determining the period of
separation, summer session is considered a
regular session. Students readmitted after being
separated for reasons of academic performance
will retain earned credit only for those courses
passed with a grade of C or better. Readmitted
students do not retain quality points earned before
separation, and the cumulative grade point
average subsequent to readmission will be
computed solely on the basis of work completed
following readmission. Students readmitted after
being separated must thereafter maintain good
academic standing. A readmitted student who
performs below the level required for good
standing will be eligible for permanent separation
from the University. Students separated for
reasons of academic performance may not offer for
transfer credit work taken elsewhere during the two
sessions after their dismissal unless such work has
been specifically approved in advance by the
academic dean.
92
CRITERIA FOR SCHOLARSHIP RETENTION
FULL-TUITION, TRUSTEES’,
PRESIDENT’S AND PROVOST’S
SCHOLARSHIPS
DURATION
A student who meets the standards for scholarship
retention may receive scholarship assistance for no
more than eight semesters of full-time undergraduate
study. The scholarship is awarded for full-time
enrollment in regular (fall and spring) semesters. If a
scholarship recipient completes a bachelor’s degree in
fewer than eight semesters of full-time study at Case,
the scholarship will be terminated upon completion of
the degree. In the eighth semester (or in the final
semester for a student completing the bachelor’s
degree in fewer than eight semesters), a recipient
may request permission for part-time enrollment with
pro-rated scholarship support if completion of the
degree does not require full-time enrollment in that
final semester.
To have a scholarship renewed for the following
academic year, a recipient is expected to satisfy two
requirements: a minimum number of hours earned
after enrolling at Case and a minimum cumulative
scholarship grade point average**. The cumulative
scholarship gpa requirement is 2.50 at the end of the
first year and 3.00 at the end of each succeeding
year. Scholarship recipients will be required to have
earned at Case at least 24 semester hours in the first
year, 54 semester hours by the end of the second
year, and 84 semester hours by the end of the third
year. For students participating in the co-op program
or taking a leave of absence, an adjustment is made
in the number of hours expected
**Scholarship Grade Point Average: All
courses completed for an evaluative grade at
Case are included in the computation of the
"scholarship g.p.a." The "scholarship g.p.a."
matches the student's cumulative g.p.a., unless
the student has used the Repeat Option or has
earned any F grades in the freshman year that do
not appear on the official transcript. If a
scholarship recipient has used the Repeat Option
for any courses or has earned any F grades that
do not appear on the official transcript, the original
grades in courses for which the final grade has
been replaced by RPT or in which the earned
grade was F will be included in the computation of
the cumulative average for the purpose of
determining eligibility for scholarship continuation.
This provision is made to assure that a student
who fails a course in the first year or covers a
grade by repeating a course is not advantaged
over a student who earns a low non-failing grade
in the first year or cannot take advantage of the
Repeat Option.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE POLICY FOR
SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS
A scholarship recipient who wishes to do so, may take
one one-semester leave of absence during the
student’s undergraduate career and put his/her
scholarship “on hold” for reactivation upon the
student’s return to Case. Requests for leaves of
absence exceeding one semester must be submitted
to the Committee on Academic Standing and will be
reviewed on an individual basis.
SCHOLARSHIP TERMINATION
Once a scholarship has been terminated for failure to
meet the retention standard, it cannot be reinstated
unless reinstatement has been granted by the
Committee on Academic Standing after review of an
appeal.
APPEAL PROCESS
Evaluation of student records for scholarship
renewal will take place at the end of each
academic year, in June.
In exceptional circumstances, the Committee on
Academic Standing will continue a scholarship for a
student whose achievement or whose attendance
does not meet the standards outlined above. It is the
student’s responsibility to write to the Committee on
Academic Standing, c/o the Office of Undergraduate
Studies, before June 1, to inform the committee of any
special circumstances which may have affected
performance and/or attendance during the preceding
academic year, and to request special consideration
for continuation of a scholarship.
PROVOST’S SPECIAL
SCHOLARSHIPS
Recipients of Provost’s Special Scholarships must
maintain academic good standing to be eligible for
continuation of their scholarships.
93
ACADEMIC HONORS
DEAN’S HONOR LISTS
TAU BETA PI
The Dean’s Honor Lists consist of the names of
those undergraduate students who have
distinguished themselves by achieving during the
previous semester the grade point averages
required with a minimum of 12 hours earned and
who have no Fs, NPs, or Incompletes during the
same period. Students with a grade point average
of 3.75 or higher will be placed on the Dean’s High
Honors List. Students with a grade point average of
at least 3.50 but less than 3.75 will be placed on
the Dean’s Honors List.
Tau Beta Pi is a national honor society which
recognizes full-time engineering students for
outstanding scholarship, leadership, and service.
COMMENCEMENT HONORS
At Honors Assemblies at the end of each spring
semester, the University presents awards
recognizing the outstanding achievement of
individual students. The departmental awards are
based on achievement in specific academic
disciplines. Some of the departmental and
collegiate awards are based on a combination of
leadership, scholarship, and service. The collegiate
awards for students with the best academic
records take into account credit load, grades, and
the proportion of courses taken for evaluative
grades (i.e., not taken P/NP).
MORTAR BOARD
Mortar Board is a national honor society which
recognizes full-time senior students for outstanding
scholarship, leadership, and service.
DEPARTMENTAL AND
COLLEGIATE AWARDS
Commencement Honors are awarded to the top 35
per cent of the graduating class.
Top 10 per cent summa cum laude
Next 10 per cent magna cum laude
Next 15 per cent cum laude
To be eligible for commencement honors,
candidates must have:
1. Earned a minimum of 54 hours for evaluative
grades (A,B,C,D) in residence at the University.
2. Attained the required percentile ranking on the
basis of all work for which grades are averaged
at the University.
FELLOWSHIPS AND
SCHOLARSHIPS
DEPARTMENTAL HONORS
Outstanding students may obtain information about
national competitive scholarships (Goldwater,

GENERAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
recognize that students with documented
disabilities may need assistance or
accommodations in order to achieve this
objective. The Appendix of this Handbook
contains the policies and procedures used in
determining a student's eligibility for disability
services. These procedures are applicable to all
undergraduate students and all graduate
students registered through the College of
Graduate Studies. Students in professional
schools should check with their student
services' personnel for policy information. See
Appendix for the complete Students with
Disabilities policy.
ATTENDANCE
Students are expected to attend classes
regularly. Each instructor is free to determine
the extent to which absences affect the final
grades of students but should make the policy
regarding attendance known at the start of the
course. Instructors should report excessive
absences to the Office of Undergraduate
Studies. Instructors who judge a student’s
absences from class to be excessive may drop
the student from the course with a grade of F.
Instructors taking such action must notify the
student’s dean in writing.
Students unable to attend classes because
of illness should notify their instructors and
make the appropriate arrangements directly with
the instructor. The University Health Service and
the Office of Undergraduate Studies do not
provide medical excuses for class absence.
Information concerning the policy of the Health
Service and the Office of Undergraduate
Studies is available in both the Office of
Undergraduate Studies and the University
Health Service.
Any student who is unable to attend classes or
participate in any examination, study, or work
requirement on a particular day because of his
or her religious beliefs is excused from any
such activity. The student will be given the
opportunity to make up the examination or work
that is missed, provided that the make-up work
does not create any unreasonable burden upon
the University. When possible, students should
give notice to instructors early in the semester
about this issue.
EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS
Official communications from the University
may be sent electronically using the student’s
University-assigned email address. The
University expects that students will read such
official University communications in a timely
fashion. Students who choose to forward email
from their University account to another email
address remain responsible for receiving and
reading official University communications
HEALTH
EMERGENCY:
AFTERCARE
CONSULTATION/EVALUATION
In order to assist in the health care of our
students, a medical and/or mental health
consultation may be required by an Assistant
Vice President or the Vice President for the
Office of Student Affairs. This consultation
normally would occur after a medical or mental
health emergency, i.e., hospitalization. A
student may be required to meet with a
physician, psychiatrist, or psychologist to
determine the following:
1. the health care needs that may exist and
whether these needs can be met within the
University health care system.
2. whether the student poses a substantial
danger or risk to his or her own health.
3. whether the student poses a substantial
danger or risk to the health or well being of
another person.
A recommendation to the Vice President for
Student Affairs will be made based on the
above criteria. Occasionally it may not be
COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES
Student commercial enterprises recognized
by the Office of Auxiliary Services and
registered with the Thwing Student Activities
Office will be charged commercial rates for the
use of facilities. Student commercial activities
initiated through the CASE Entrepreneurial
Program may be the exception to this guideline.
DISABILITY SERVICES
Case Western Reserve University is
committed to providing all admitted students
with opportunities to take full advantage of the
University's educational programs.

feasible for the student to resume a full or even
partial return to the University setting. The Vice
President or Assistant Vice President for
Student Affairs will discuss with the student any
recommendations made by the doctor and will
assist the student in making plans for the best
possible aftercare.
Students should contact the University
Health Service (368-2450), the appropriate
dean’s office, or the Office for Student
Affairs (368-2021) immediately after any
health emergency or in the case of
hospitalization.
Affairs, or his/her designee, will investigate
student complaints of discrimination. In
resolving such discrimination complaints, the
University will utilize the Grievance Process
and/or the Disciplinary Process.
Requests for accommodations for disabilities
should be directed to the Coordinator of
Disability Services in Educational Services for
Students (368-5230).
INSURANCE, PERSONAL PROPERTY
All students should know that the University’s
insurance program does not cover loss or
damage to student’s personal property. This
applies everywhere on campus-residence halls,
lockers, classrooms, offices, and lounges.
Many homeowners’ policies provide for such
coverage while a student is away from home
attending school. Students may wish to check
with their parents’ agents or to buy separate
insurance policies to cover their personal
possessions.
RESERVING SPACE IN UNIVERSITY
FACILITIES
The facilities and services of CASE are
maintained primarily to serve the needs of the
University community-teaching, research,
scholarship, administrative, and social. All
individuals and groups using University facilities
and services are expected to abide by the rules
of conduct described below.
The University reserves the right to withhold
from any individual or group the use of
University facilities or service when, in the
opinion of the University’s officers, such use is
not in the best interest of the institution or may
place it in a position of legal liability, or when the
individual or group has failed to settle debts for
previous activities.
Requests for student use of University
facilities and services should be directed to the
Thwing Center Administrative Office.
Recognized student organizations will be
provided with space for their activities to the
extent that it is available.

UNIVERSITY POLICIES
A student enrolling in the University assumes an obligation to behave in a manner compatible
with the University’s function as an educational institution. It is clear that in a community of learning,
willful disruption of the educational process destruction of property, dishonesty, and interference with
the rights of other members of the University cannot be tolerated. The University retains the right to
maintain order within the University and to exclude those who are disruptive to the educational process.
Student organizations are held accountable for their actions through their leadership. Representative officers of organizations are held responsible for group action to the extent they are judged
to have control of such action.
The following principles are the basis for the Standards of Conduct at Case Western Reserve
University:
Respect
Integrity
Tolerance
Safety
Cooperation
Pride
Civility
Responsibility
Honesty
To the extent feasible and practical, disciplinary regulations at the University are in writing in order to
give students general notice of prohibited conduct. The policies are not a criminal code; they should
be read broadly and are not designed to define misconduct. Any student found attempting or violating a University policy may be subject to the University disciplinary process and if found responsible,
held to all prescribed sanctions.
ACADEMIC POLICIES can be found in the
Academic Policies section of this handbook.
2.
ALCOHOL POLICY
The University will conform to all state and
local laws controlling the sale and use of
alcoholic beverages. It is illegal to sell, provide,
or serve beer, wine or liquor to anyone who is
under the legal age of 21. Servers of alcohol
and sponsors of social events must be aware of
and comply with all state statutes and with CASE
policies and procedures.
The University expects responsible behavior
of students who choose to drink alcoholic
beverages and requires an environment free of
coercion for those who choose to abstain.
Therefore, students must adhere to guidelines
provided by the University for responsible and
legal consumption of alcoholic beverages.
Individual students must also accept
responsibility for their own behavior and should
demonstrate a concern for the safety and wellbeing of others in the University community.
The following regulations apply to all events
at which students are present:
1.
The sponsors of events where alcohol is
served must file a Case Alcohol Use
Permit in the Office of Student Affairs at
least three business days prior to the
event. A copy of this form will be needed
for student groups to reserve any
University facility for events where alcohol
3.
4.
5.
99
is served.
Open containers of alcoholic beverage are
generally prohibited in public places
according to state law unless a University
alcohol permit is obtained. Public areas
are defined to include patios, balconies,
and any other area outside a facility. Other
specifically restricted facilities include
Squire Valleevue Farm, Harkness and
Amasa Stone Chapels, and at University
athletic events.
At all events where alcohol is served, an
effective procedure must be established
and adhered to for certifying those legally
of age to drink. To obtain alcoholic
beverages, a valid driver’s license or other
valid legal document showing proof of age
must be presented. A CASE ID card may
be required for admission.
When alcohol is sold, temporary F or F-2
permits will be required in accordance with
state laws. The sale of alcohol is defined
to include such methods for defraying the
cost of the beverage or event as sale by
the glass or container, advance ticket
sales, and cover charges at the door.
At all events where alcohol is served, nonalcoholic beverages must be provided by
the sponsor of the event. The amount of
alcoholic beverage provided should reflect
the proportion of those attending the event
who are legally eligible to drink; the
amount of non-alcoholic beverage

provided should be sufficient to serve the
number of people attending the event who
are too young to drink or choose not to
drink alcohol.
No one should be coerced, even subtly, to
drink or overindulge; and the rights of
those who choose to abstain must be
respected.
When alcohol is served, food must be
provided by the sponsor of the event in
adequate amounts to last through the
event.
The kind and amount of security required
for an event will be determined according
to the following factors: the nature of the
event, the number of people attending the
event, and the presence of alcoholic
beverages and/or a cashbox. Security
guidelines will apply.
Social events that encourage drinking or
drunkenness as themes and the
advertisement of such events are
considered inappropriate and will not be
permitted. Neither the cost nor brand of an
alcoholic beverage may be advertised in
Ohio.
When beer is provided, it must be served
to individuals in single servings in
containers of 16 ounces or less. When
wine or liquor is provided, it must also be
served in appropriately sized glasses.
The serving of alcohol must cease at least
one-half hour before the scheduled end of
an event.
When entertainment is included in the
event, the type of entertainment and the
duration must be listed on the Alcohol Use
Permit.
The gift of alcohol as a reward for any
student activity or contest is prohibited.
Individuals or groups violating state law or
the University student alcohol policy will
be subject to disciplinary action.

and telecommunications equipment whether
owned, leased, or otherwise provided by CASE.
This policy is intended to reflect the University's
commitment to the principles, goals, and ideals
described in the CASE Vision Statement and to
its core values. (See Appendix for complete
policy)
DRUGS
The use or possession of drugs* is illegal
except when prescribed by a physician, and the
University cannot protect students from
prosecution for violation of federal or state laws.
Case Western Reserve University cannot
condone the illegal possession, consumption,
provision, or sale of drugs. The University,
however, has a strong obligation to make
readily available to students full information
about the use and effects of all drugs, and even
more important, to make available sources of
counseling to those who are using or have used
drugs. The faculty and all others who are in any
position to advise students should be made
aware of the availability of counseling.
All students, faculty, and administrators
should be informed that the discovery that a
student is using drugs is not, automatically,
cause for disciplinary action, but is a compelling
reason to urge that student to seek counseling
or to refer the student to the proper source of
counseling. Student Affairs and other
administrative officials do not consider
themselves law enforcement officers but
advisers of students in the best interest of the
students.
* Drugs to which these statements and rules
apply are currently defined as including:
Opiates (such as morphine, heroin,
codeine, opium, demerol, and paregoric)
Cocaine
Marijuana
Hallucinogens (such as LSD, DMT,
Mescaline, peyote, and psilocybin)
Barbiturates (such as nembutal and
seconal)
Tranquilizers (such as librium,
henothiazines, and reserpine)
Amphetamines (such as benzedrine,
methedrine, and dexadrine)
Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB or
ecstasy)

DISCIPLINARY PROCESS
REPORTING A VIOLATION
Any member of the University community
may notify the University Office of Student
Affairs of a violation of the University Standards
of Conduct, or to file a grievance. The matter will
be evaluated by the Vice President for Student
Affairs or his designee to determine if further
judicial action at the University level is
warranted, if the Grievance Process is more
appropriate, or if the matter should be referred
to the Residence Life Judicial Board, or the
Interfraternity/Panhellenic Judicial Board.
INTERIM SEPARATION
The University, through the University Office
of Student Affairs, reserves the right to suspend
any student whose behavior indicates that his or
her continued presence on campus constitutes
a danger to the normal functions of the
institution, to property, to others, or the student
him/herself. The process for this situation
involves the following steps:
1. The student will be notified in writing of the
interim suspension and the reasons for the
action.
2. The student will be provided a preliminary
hearing with the Assistant Vice President
for Student Affairs before the suspension
takes effect, unless it is impossible or
unreasonably difficult to do so.
3. The student may be required to have a
psychological evaluation, the results of
which may be used in the hearing.
4. The regular hearing will follow the
procedure outlined under the normal
disciplinary process.
RIGHTS
Any member of the University community
accused of violating a rule or regulation is
entitled to adequate notice of all charges and to
a fair hearing.
STANDARD OF PROOF
A standard of proof is the measure of how
convinced a decision maker must be about the
facts of a case to reach a decision. The
standard of proof for all disciplinary proceedings
is the preponderance of the evidence standard.
This means that it must be more likely than not
that an event occurred or that a student is
responsible for a violation. The standard of
guilty beyond a reasonable doubt used in
criminal cases in the legal system does not
apply in University disciplinary proceedings.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Case Western Reserve adheres to the
Family Education Rights and Privacy Act.
(FERPA) The rights of students will be
respected. In some cases, information may be
shared with appropriate University officials if
there is a legitimate educational interest or with
others as permitted by FERPA.
JUDICIAL RECORDS
When formal disciplinary action is taken, a
confidential file will be created in the office
responsible for the judicial proceedings held. All
files are maintained at least as long as the
student is enrolled at the University.

Advanced Placement (AP) Course Equivalencies 2004 – 2005*
Advanced Placement credit carrying exemption from particular courses may be used to replace those
courses for purposes of General Education/Core curriculum, major, or minor requirements. Credit and
exemption will be given only for AP examinations taken prior to matriculation. Credit will be posted on a
student’s record after the end of the first semester of enrollment, and therefore will not appear on the first
semester grade report. If, after matriculation at Case, a student completes a course for which s/he received
credit/exemption on the basis of AP, the AP credit/exemption for that course will be forfeited and will not
count towards graduation requirements.
*The policies regarding the awarding of credit for Advanced Placement Examinations of The College Board
are reviewed annually by departments and may be subject to change.

of 5, 6 and 7 for most Higher Level (HL) examinations. Subsidiary Level (SL) is only accepted in the area of
foreign language. Credit will be posted on a student’s record by the end of the first semester of enrollment.
If, after matriculation at Case, a student completes a course for which s/he received credit/exemption on the
basis of IB, the IB credit/exemption for that course will be forfeited and will not count towards graduation
requirements.

COMPUTING AND
INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY POLICY
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to outline the
acceptable uses of computing and information
technology resources for the Case Western
Reserve University community. This policy
outlines the standards for acceptable use of
University computing and information
technology resources that include, but are not
limited to, equipment, software, networks, data,
and telecommunications equipment--whether
owned, leased, or otherwise provided by CASE.
This policy is intended to reflect the University's
commitment to the principles, goals, and ideals
described in the CASE Vision Statement and to
its core values.
Coordination with Other Policies
Users of information technology resources
at Case Western Reserve University are
advised that other university policies, including
those for Human Resources, and the faculty
and student handbooks, and notably those
policies governing copyright and intellectual
property compliance may be related to use of
information technology resources, and that
those policies must be observed in conjunction
with this policy.
Access to and Expectations of Persons
Using Information Technology Resources
It is the policy of CASE to maintain access
for its community to local, national, and
international sources of electronic information
sources in order to provide an atmosphere that
encourages the free exchange of ideas and
sharing of information. CASE maintains a variety
of information technologies for use as resources
for people, catalysts for learning, and for
increased access to technology and an enriched
quality of learning. Access to this environment
and the University's information technology
resources is a privilege and must be treated
with high ethical and legal standards.
Preserving the access to information
resources is a community effort that requires
each member to act responsibly and guard
against abuses. Therefore, both the CASE
community as a whole and each individual user
have an obligation to abide by the following
standards of acceptable and ethical use:
1. The use of only those computing and
information technology resources and data
for which you have authorization and only
in the manner and to the extent authorized
2. The use of computing and information
technology resources only for their
intended purpose
3. The protection of the access and integrity
of computing and information technology
resources
4. The compliance to applicable laws and
University policies and all applicable
contracts and licenses and respect the
copyright and intellectual property rights of
others, including the legal use of
copyrighted material
5. The respect of the privacy and personal
rights of others
Access to CASE information technology and
computing resources is a privilege granted to
students, faculty and staff of CASE. The
University extends access privileges to
individual users of the University’s information
technology and computing resources. The
extension of these privileges is predicated on
the user’s acceptance of and adherence to the
corresponding user responsibilities detailed in
this policy and addendum. The University
reserves the rights to limit, restrict, or extend
access to information technology resources.
Application
This policy applies to all users of CASE
computing and information technology
resources including faculty, staff, students,
alumni, guests, external individuals or
organizations and individuals accessing external
network services, such as the Internet via
University facilities.
The Vice President for Information
Technology Services/CIO will determine
operational policies, networking standards, and
procedures to implement the principles outlined
in this policy. ITS has the right to protect shared
information technology services.
Uses
In general, the CASE community shall use
University information technology resources
(which include privately-owned computers
connected to the University network) in
connection with the University's core teaching,
research, and service missions. Uses that do
not significantly consume resources or interfere
with other users also are acceptable but may be
restricted by Information Technology Services.
Under no circumstances shall members of the
152
University community or others use University
information technology resources in ways that
are illegal, that threaten the University's taxexempt or other status, or that interfere with
reasonable use by other members of the
University community. Any use of University
information technology resources, including
network infrastructure, for commercial purposes
is prohibited.
Sanctions for Violations
Failure to comply with the appropriate use
of computing and information technology
resources threatens the atmosphere for the
sharing of information, the free exchange of
ideas, and the secure environment for creating
and maintaining information property. Such
noncompliance may lead to disciplinary action..
Any member of the CASE community found
using computing and information technology
resources in violation of this policy is subject to
existing disciplinary procedures including,
without limitation, suspension of system
privileges, expulsion from school, termination of
employment and/or legal action as may be
appropriate.
Privacy and Security
There is no inherent expectation of privacy
for information stored on CASE information
technology resources, except as provided by
federal and state law and other university policy.
Every effort will be made to maintain individual
privacy, but the University will not be liable for
the failure of these privacy efforts.
Review of the Policy
This policy may be assessed from time to
time to reflect substantive change as a result of
changes to the CASE information technology
resources and/or changes in legal statutes that
impact information technology resources,
copyright, or other intellectual property issues.
The Vice President for Information Technology
Services is responsible for determining when
the policy needs to be reviewed and the process
for review and revision.
Lack of consent is the crucial factor in any
sexual assault. Persons forced to engage in
sexual contact by force, threat of force, or
coercion have not consented to contact.
Persons acting under the influence of alcohol or
other substances may be incapable of consent.
Age or mental capacity may render consent
impossible.
The University strongly encourages
persons who have been sexually assaulted to
report the assault, to seek assistance and to
pursue judicial action or sanctions for their own
protection and that of the entire campus
community.
Reporting
To preserve the option of pursuing criminal
sanctions or CASE internal disciplinary
processes, a person should report the sexual
assault to the University and/or the local police.
The University recognizes that a person who
has been sexually assaulted retains the right not
to pursue either criminal prosecution or a
University judicial proceeding. However, the
University strongly encourages those who have
been sexually assaulted to pursue internal
disciplinary and/or criminal processes. If a
person who has been sexually assaulted
chooses to pursue internal disciplinary
procedures, he or she can expect a supportive
response by the University throughout the
disciplinary process. Reporting options are
listed below. In addition, graduate and
professional students can report an incident of
sexual assault to their respective student affairs
office.

Once a report of sexual assault is made,
the University may be obligated to alert the
campus community of the report. The University
is obligated to alert the campus of crimes that it
determines represent a threat to members of
the campus community. In making such
determinations, the University will consider the
safety of students, faculty, and staff as well as
the privacy interests of all persons involved in
such incidents. Regardless of the action taken
by the University, the names of any person
SEXUAL ASSAULT POLICY
Case Western Reserve University is a
community dependent upon trust and respect
for its constituent members: students, faculty,
and staff. Sexual assault is a violation of that
trust and respect. It will not be tolerated.Sexual
assault is a serious crime. Any non-consensual
physical contact of a sexual nature is a sexual
assault. Rape, statutory rape, incest, sodomy,
sexual assault with an object, and fondling are
examples of sexual assault.
153
involved will not appear on security alerts. The
University urges anyone who has been sexually
assaulted to report the incident at any time.
However, prompt reporting may preserve
options that delayed reporting does not,
including the preservation of physical evidence,
crisis counseling, and immediate police
response.
Medical and Psychological Assistance
Emergency Room Examination. .Any person
who has been sexually assaulted may go
directly to the University Hospitals Emergency
Room or any local hospital for medical attention.
However, it is important to note that the
preservation of physical evidence is critical in
the event of criminal prosecution and may be
useful if University disciplinary action is pursued.
University Health Service. Students can
seek further treatment at the University Health
Service for any medical concerns including
sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy
testing.
Counseling. Counseling may be pursued
following a sexual assault, no matter how much
time has elapsed since the incident. Counseling
services are confidential except when disclosure
is necessary to prevent imminent harm to self or
others. Available options, on and off campus,
are listed below. To inquire about other
community counseling resources, please call
368-5872. All inquiries are confidential.

University Sanction/Criminal Prosecution
Anyone who has been sexually assaulted
may choose to pursue both criminal prosecution
and University disciplinary processes.
Regardless of whether criminal charges are
filed, all members of the University community
accused of sexual assault may be subject to
University judicial action or sanctions, up to and
including expulsion or termination from
employment. In the case of student judicial
proceedings, both the accused and the accuser
are entitled to due process, to the presence of
an advocate during hearings, and to notification
of the outcome of the proceedings.In the
aftermath of a sexual assault, the University will
accommodate requests for alternative living,
working, and academic arrangements as
available and appropriate.
Due to the sensitive and traumatic nature of
sexual assault, specially trained members of the
University are available to help anyone who has
been sexually assaulted understand the many
options open to him or her. A member of the
Sexual Assault Response Team may be
contacted by calling:
368-5872
M-F, 8:30 am - 5 pm
844-8892
After 5 pm, weekends &
holidays
The caller should tell the operator that this is
an emergency or that a sexual assault has
occurred. Conversations with members of the
response team are confidential, except when
disclosure is necessary to prevent imminent
harm to self or others.
When medical attention or police assistance
are critical, the call should be placed to 3683333 for CASE Security, 368-2222 for University
Circle Police, or 911 for local police.
SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY
AND PROCEDURES
Members of the University community found
in violation of this policy may be disciplined, up
to and including being discharged for cause or
being expelled from the University. Retaliation
against persons raising concerns about sexual
harassment is prohibited and will constitute
separate grounds for disciplinary action, up to
and including discharge or expulsion from the
University.
This policy and the accompanying
procedures shall serve as the only internal
University forum of resolution and appeal of
sexual harassment complaints.
Laws Governing Sexual Harassment.
Sexual harassment in the workplace is a form of
sex discrimination prohibited by Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964 and by Section 4112.02
of the Ohio Revised Code. EEOC Guidelines
require employers to affirmatively address the
issue of sexual harassment and to adopt
procedures for the prompt resolution of
employee complaints. Similarly, federal
regulations implementing Title IX of the 1972
Education Amendments require educational
institutions which receive federal funds to
provide a prompt and equitable procedure for
resolving complaints of sex discrimination,
including sexual harassment claims.
Definitions
1. Sexual harassment can be defined as any
unwelcome sexual advance, requests for
sexual favors, or other verbal or physical
154
conduct of a sexual nature, or verbal or
physical conduct directed at an individual or
individuals because of gender and
motivated by animus based on gender,
when
a.
submission to such conduct is made
either explicitly or implicitly a term or
condition of an individual’s employment
or student status; or
b.
submission to or rejection of such
conduct is used as the basis for
decisions affecting that individual with
regard to employment (raises, job,
work assignments, discipline, etc.) or to
student status (grades, references,
assignments, etc.); or
c.
such conduct has the purpose or effect
of unreasonably interfering with an
individual’s work performance or
educational experience, or creates an
intimidating, hostile or offensive work
and/or educational environment. The
work or educational environment
includes classroom and clinical
settings, residence halls, activities,
programs, offices, and all Casesponsored events.
Although sexual harassment often
takes place when the alleged harasser
is in a position of power or influence
(e.g., a faculty adviser to a student,
supervisor to supervisee), other types
of harassment are also possible.
Sexual harassment may involve the
behavior of a person of either gender
against a person of the opposite or
same gender. It is not necessarily
limited to offensive physical contact or
requests for sexual favors. Sexual or
“off-color” remarks, name-calling, lewd
gestures, obscene materials
(photographs, cartoons, etc.), and
touching may also constitute sexual
harassment.
2. Members of the University community
include all Case students, faculty,
administrators, and staff, whether full or
part-time.
3. Responsibilities of the University
Community. University officials in the
Provost’s Office (Vice Provost, at 3684389), Office of Equal Opportunity and
Diversity (Director, at 368-8877), and the
Office of Student Affairs (Assistant Vice
President for Student Affairs, at 368-2020)
are responsible for
a.
coordinating, disseminating and
implementing this policy;
serving as a resource for all matters
dealing with sexual harassment
complaints;
c.
advising about and investigating
informal sexual harassment
complaints;
d.
referring formal sexual harassment
complaints to the Sexual Harassment
Panel.
Deans, directors, department chairs,
department heads, and administrative officers
are responsible within their area for:
1. providing a work and educational
environment that is free from harassment
and intimidation;
2. informing complainants about the
University’s policy and their right to talk to
an Equal Opportunity and Diversity,
Student Affairs, or Provost’s Office official;
3. participating in investigations, resolutions of
complaints, and the implementation of
recommended sanctions, if any.
All members of the University community are
responsible for
1. ensuring adherence to this policy;
2. discouraging sexual harassment;
3. cooperating in any investigation which might
result, including appearing before a Hearing
Committee.
Any member of the University community
who is consulted about potentially sexually
harassing behavior must advise the accuser of
the University’s sexual harassment policy and
encourage prompt reporting to any one of the
designated University officials charged with
responsibility for investigating sexual
harassment complaints. When a first-hand
allegation of sexual harassment is made, and
the alleged harasser is named, members of the
University community must report the allegation
to any one of these designated University
officials.
Confidentiality. The University will make all
reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality
of parties involved in a sexual harassment
investigation. Confidentiality, however, cannot
be guaranteed. Furthermore, whether informal
or formal resolution is sought, anonymous
complaints will not be brought against any
member of the University community.
False Claims of Sexual Harassment. The
University reserves the right to discipline
members of the University community who bring
false complaints of sexual harassment. No
complaint will be considered “false” solely
because it cannot be corroborated.
b.
155
Annual Report. The Director of Equal
Opportunity and Diversity shall produce an
annual report of sexual harassment complaints
and their resolutions. The report shall identify
accusers and accused by constituency only,
e.g., student, staff, faculty.
Procedures. Members of the University
community who believe they have been sexually
harassed by others in the University community
are entitled to an informal and/or formal
investigation and complaint process as detailed
below. Visitors, guest lecturers, program
participants, etc. may use this policy and the
procedures below, where applicable, to bring
complaints against a member of the University
community whose behavior in the Case
educational or working environment is in
question. Members of the University community
may use this policy and the procedures below,
where applicable, to bring complaints against
visitors, guest lecturers, program participants,
etc. whose behavior in the educational or
working environment is in question.
Prompt reporting of sexual harassment is in the
best interest of the entire University community.
Complaints must be brought within two years of
the latest alleged incident. It should be noted
that the University’s authority to investigate, to
compel cooperation or to impose sanctions
against those who are not members of the
University community is limited.
Informal Process. The designated University
officials in the Provost’s Office, Student Affairs
and/or the AA/EEO Office will meet with any
person(s) who have raised concerns about
sexual harassment at the University. They will
provide general advice about sexual
harassment, and will also discuss options for
pursuing both informal and formal resolution of
a sexual harassment complaint.
Once an accused person or group is identified,
the designated University officials will conduct
an initial investigation of a sexual harassment
complaint. An initial investigation will include
interviews with the person(s) reporting
harassment and those person(s) accused of
harassment and may include interviews of other
potential witnesses.
While an initial investigation will be pursued for
every identified complaint, in most instances
disciplinary action will not be taken against any
individual or group unless the formal complaint
process is used.
The University’s informal process provides
those who believe they are being sexually
harassed with a range of options designed to
bring about a resolution of their concerns.
Depending upon the nature of the complaint and
the wishes of the person(s) claiming
harassment, informal resolution may involve one
or more of the following:
1. advising the person(s) about how to
communicate the unwelcome nature of the
behavior to the alleged harasser;
2. distributing a copy of the sexual harassment
policy as a reminder to the department or
area whose behavior is being questioned;
3. if both parties agree, arranging and
facilitating a meeting between the person(s)
claiming harassment and those accused of
harassment to work out a mutual resolution.
4. Information about all informal complaints
and resolutions will be kept on file in the
offices of the designated University officials.
Should the formal process be used, the
information gathered shall be forwarded to
the Sexual Harassment Panel. To prepare
the annual report and to more readily
identify those against whom multiple
informal complaints have been made, the
Director of Equal Opportunity and Diversity
shall be advised of every informal complaint
as brought and of any resolutions of
informal complaints.
Formal Process. The University offers a formal
process leading to resolution of a complaint if
informal resolution is not agreed upon or fails to
satisfactorily resolve a concern. Because of the
need for flexibility, no timelines have been set.
Ordinarily, however, once the formal process is
begun, each successive step should be carried
out within two weeks of the previous step.
1. Sexual Harassment Panel
A
Sexual Harassment Panel of at least 12
members will be appointed by the
President and will include representatives
of the administration, faculty, staff, and
students who shall normally serve a term of
two years, renewable at the option of the
President. The panel will annually elect a
chair from among its members. The
director of Equal Opportunity and Diversity
shall serve as secretary to the Sexual
Harassment Panel. All panel members will
be trained in sexual harassment matters.
2. Hearing Committees
Hearing committees for individual
complaints will consist of five (5) members
of the Sexual Harassment Panel. Every
hearing committee will consist of at least
one faculty member, one staff member,
and one student. The remaining committee
members will include one representative
from the constituency of the person(s)
156
alleging harassment and one from the
constituency of the person being accused.
The chair of the panel shall serve on every
committee. Panel members are responsible
for notifying the chair if there personal and/
or professional conflicts of interest may
make service on a particular committee
inadvisable. Upon request by any party to
the complaint, the chair of the panel shall
determine whether a particular panel
member should not serve because of a
perceived conflict of interest.
Initiation of Formal Process
1. A detailed written statement dated and
signed by the person(s) bringing the
complaint must be filed with the secretary of
the Sexual Harassment Panel. The
statement should be as specific as possible,
including dates, times, locations, a
description of the alleged harassing
behavior, and the name(s) of the alleged
harassers. The statement should also
identify any person(s) who may have
information that would be helpful to the
hearing committee.
2. The Sexual Harassment Panel will contact
the alleged harasser(s), provide them with a
copy of the written statement and ask for a
written response to be submitted by a
specified date. The response should also
identify any person(s) who may have
information that would be helpful to the
hearing committee’s determination. That
response will be forwarded to the hearing
committee and to the person(s) charging
sexual harassment.
3. The secretary of the Sexual Harassment
Panel will arrange a meeting with the parties
and the hearing committee within a
reasonable time of the receipt of the alleged
harasser’s response to the complaint.
Ground Rules
1. A hearing committee will protect, to the
extent possible, the privacy of all those
involved in the proceedings. To that end, all
those appearing before a committee will be
advised not to discuss their statements or
comment on the proceedings outside of the
meeting.
2. All parties, i.e., accusers and accused, will
be allowed to have an adviser of their
choice attend the meeting. Advisers may
only consult with their parties; they may not
address the committee and may not ask
questions. All advisers will be bound by the
confidential terms of the hearing
committee’s rules. Upon request by a
hearing committee and in any event when a
party’s adviser is an attorney, a
representative of the University Attorney’s
office shall attend any portion of the meeting
for purposes of consulting with and advising
the committee.
3. The committee will consider information it
has received in writing from the parties as
well as the statements presented to it during
the meeting. The committee may require
members of the University community and
ask others to appear at the meeting and, if
necessary, continue the meeting at a later
date.
4. The parties and their advisers will be
permitted to sit in the meeting during all
statements and questioning. Other persons
will be permitted to attend only during their
own statements and questioning.
5. A stenographer will be present to take
minutes of the meeting. The committee’s
deliberations, however, will be private and
confidential. The stenographer’s transcribed
minutes will be the exclusive record of the
meeting. The parties may not bring their
own court reporters or record the meeting.
All parties will be given reasonable access
to the record of the meeting.
Conduct of the Meeting
1. Persons bringing complaints will be invited
to make a statement to the committee.
Committee members will be permitted to
ask questions at the conclusion of these
statements.
2. Persons accused will be invited to make a
statement to the committee. Committee
members will be permitted to ask questions
at the conclusion of these statements.
3. At the conclusion of the committee’s
questioning of both parties, the accused and
the accusing persons may ask questions of
each other, but all such questions must be
directed to the chair.
4. Other persons asked to appear before the
Committee will be invited to make
statements. Committee members will be
permitted to ask questions at the conclusion
of the statements. At the conclusion of the
committee’s questioning of each person, the
parties may ask questions of the person, but
all such questions must be directed to the
chair.
5. The committee may ask further questions of
the parties after it has heard from all other
persons invited to appear.
6. Once the committee has heard from the
parties and all others invited to appear, it
157
shall dismiss the parties and the
stenographer and meet to deliberate in
confidence.
Possible Findings. The hearing committee will
be responsible for issuing one of the following
findings after meeting with the parties and
gathering all necessary information.
1. The University’s sexual harassment policy
has not been violated.
2. The University’s sexual harassment policy
has been violated. To issue this finding, the
committee must be convinced, in light of all
the information presented, that it is more
likely than not that the alleged sexual
harassment took place.
Report of Findings/Recommendations
1. Within a reasonable time after the meeting,
the committee shall issue a report of its
findings and the rationale for its findings to
the secretary of the Sexual Harassment
Panel and the parties involved. If the
committee has determined that the
University’s sexual harassment policy has
been violated, it shall also make a
recommendation as to sanctions.
2. If the committee has determined that the
University’s sexual harassment policy has
been violated, the secretary of the Sexual
Harassment Panel shall distribute the report
as follows:
a. if the accused is a faculty member, a
teaching or research assistant, to that
party’s department chair, dean and to
the provost;
b. if the accused is an administrator or staff
member, to the Director of Human
Resources and the appropriate vice
president (or Provost or the President);
c. if the accused is a student, to the Vice
President for Student Affairs, who will
communicate with the appropriate deans
in the case of graduate or professional
students.
d. Upon request by an accuser, a copy of
the report shall also be distributed to that
person’s department chair and dean, or
supervisor and appropriate vice
president.
3. The University officials identified in 2. a), b),
and c) above are responsible for
determining appropriate sanctions, if any. In
making such a determination, these officials
shall not be bound by the recommendations
for sanctions, if any, offered by the panel.
These officials shall communicate in writing
any sanctions to the person(s) bringing the
complaint, those found in violation of the
policy and to the chair of the Sexual
Harassment Panel.
Sanctions. Sanctions shall be based on the
nature and severity of the offense and the
extent of the findings. In general, sanctions
include, but are not limited to, one or more of
the following: public apologies, public
reprimands, participation in educational or
counseling sessions, written warnings, or letters
of reprimand. In addition, faculty and staff may
face suspension without pay, denial of a
promotion or pay raise, demotion, and
termination for cause. Students may also be
suspended from the University, from University
housing, or selected activities or organizations
placed on probation, or expelled from the
University.
Appeal.
Any party to a decision may appeal the
finding and sanctions to be imposed, if any, to
the president in writing within two weeks of the
receipt of the report of the officials identified
above. The president shall review the findings
and sanctions to be imposed, if any, and may
review the transcript of the meeting to determine
whether to uphold or reject the findings or
sanctions. If in disagreement with the findings
and/or the sanctions to be imposed, the
president shall provide a written statement of a
decision and the reasons for it to the parties,
those charged with determining sanctions and
the members of the hearing panel. The
president’s decision shall be final.
Other University Procedures. This policy and
its procedures shall be the only internal
University forum of resolution and appeal of
sexual harassment complaints. However, should
the infraction be such that the recommended
sanctions involve termination of a tenured
faculty member’s appointment, and should the
procedures set forth in Section IV of the Faculty
Handbook be initiated, the factual findings and
conclusions of the sexual harassment hearing
committee shall be determined as to whether
the University’s sexual harassment policy has
been violated. The Section IV proceedings shall
be limited to a determination of whether the
violation as found constitutes just cause for
termination of a tenured faculty appointment.
Complaint Procedure
Faculty and Staff-If conflicts occur, the
matter should be elevated to the appropriate
supervisor(s) for resolution. If the matter cannot
be resolved at the supervisory level, or if the
158
individuals involved prefer at the outset, the
matter may be referred to the Employee

STUDENTS WITH
DISABILITIES
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Notice of Nondiscriminatory Policy as to
Students
Case Western Reserve University admits
students of any race, religion, age, sex, color,
disability, sexual orientation, and national or
ethnic origin to all the rights and privileges,
programs, and activities generally accorded or
made available to students at the University. It
does not discriminate on the basis of race,
religion, age, sex, color, disability, sexual
orientation, or national or ethnic origin in
administering its educational policies, admission
policies, employment, promotion and
compensation policies, scholarship and loan
programs, and athletic or other Universityadministered programs.
Mission
Case Western Reserve University is committed
to providing all admitted students with
opportunities to take full advantage of the
University's educational programs. We
recognize that students with documented
disabilities may need assistance or
accommodations in order to achieve this
objective. This document outlines the policies
and procedures used in determining a student's
eligibility for disability services. These
procedures are applicable to all undergraduate
students and all graduate students registered
through the College of Graduate
Studies. Students in professional schools
should check with their student services'
personnel for policy information.
Definitions
A disability is a physical or mental impairment
that substantially limits one or more major life
activities, or having a record of such an
impairment, or being regarded as having such
dysfunction, dyslexia, and developmental
aphasia. Such term does not include persons
who have learning problems, which are primarily
the result of visual, hearing, or motor disabilities;
of mental retardation; of emotional disturbance;
or of environmental, cultural, or economic
disadvantage.
Initiating the Process
Students with disabilities who wish to obtain
accommodations, auxiliary aides and/or
services, should self-disclose their disability and
direct their request(s) for accommodation(s) to
the Coordinator of Disability Services in
Educational Support Services (ESS). ESS is
located in Kelvin Smith Library, Room 105. The
office phone number is (216) 368-5230. In
order to proceed with a determination of
eligibility for services and the provision of
accommodations, students must submit
documentation of their disability to the
Coordinator of Disability Services.
Newly
admitted students will receive a disclosure form
inside their Admissions information packet. This
form should be completed and returned to the
Coordinator of Disability Services under
separate cover.
Temporary Disabilities
Students who experience acute illness or injury
may be provided services through Disability
Services in ESS. If the primary issue is a shortterm absence from classes, then the student
should work through the Office of
159
Undergraduate Studies to document the
absences. If the injury or illness necessitates
handicapped parking accessibility, and/or
campus transportation services, the student
should contact Disability Services in ESS for
assistance.
Undergraduate Studies and
Disability Services will coordinate efforts to
assist students who need any other services as
a result of their temporary injury or
illness. Graduate students should work with the
Office of Graduate Studies and Disability
Services in ESS to obtain assistance in the
event of a temporary illness or injury.
Documentation
To seek appropriate accommodations for a
disability, students are required to provide
written
documentation
of
their
disability. Documentation should be from a
qualified professional who has knowledge of the
disability and of the specific student. The
professional must be trained and qualified to
render a diagnosis and to recommend
accommodations for that particular
disability. Since students with disabilities are a
heterogeneous group, no single professional
group is qualified to offer documentation for all
disabilities. In fact, documentation concerning a
student's needs may come from multiple
sources.
One individual may make the
diagnosis, but a different professional may
determine the practical limitations of that
diagnosis. For example, a physician may
diagnose a case of rheumatoid arthritis, but an
occupational therapist may determine the
physical limitations the person encounters in
daily living.
Complete documentation should include a
diagnosis of the disability and a prognosis
indicating the current status of the disorder as
well as the expectation for the stability of the
condition. Information should also include an
explanation of the nature of the physical or
mental impairment and its impact on any major
life function. Any psychological or physical test
data that is relevant to the diagnosis should be
included.
Finally, any history and/or
recommendations for accommodations should
be part of the documentation. Students are
responsible for obtaining and providing the
Coordinator with the documentation from a
qualified professional. In addition, students may
be asked to sign a release of information form,
authorizing the qualified professional to disclose
information to the Coordinator.
Reviewing the Documentation
Upon receipt of the documentation, the
Coordinator of Disability Services will review it to
determine that the source of the documentation
is appropriate, that it is complete, that the
information is current, that the student is a
qualified person with a disability and that the
requested accommodations are supported. The
Coordinator of Disability Services will also meet
with the student to obtain complete information
on the disability and the requested
accommodations.
If the documentation is
incomplete or insufficient to make a
determination, the Coordinator will either
contact the student's health care provider for
additional information or request that the
student obtain and submit additional
documentation. The Coordinator may consult
with appropriate University and community
professionals when making a determination of
eligibility. The Coordinator will then make a
determination as to the disability and the
necessary accommodations.
Arranging Accommodations
Students who are eligible for disability services
and who need to make arrangements for
accommodations should make an appointment
with the Coordinator of Disability Services to
develop a plan at the beginning of each
semester.
Academic accommodations are
provided via an interactive process based on
the student's requested accommodations, the
review of the Disability Coordinator, the
documentation from the qualified professional,
and the course schedule of the student for the
particular semester. Accommodations are not
made retroactively. In most instances, a memo
from the student and the Coordinator of
Disability Services will be given to the professor
or teaching assistant for courses in which
accommodations are needed. No diagnosis is
provided to the professor or teaching assistant.
The student is responsible for giving the
professor or the teaching assistant the memo
and using it to initiate a dialogue between the
student and the professor or the teaching
assistant
about
reasonable
accommodations. As a result of this dialogue,
the student and the professor or teaching
assistant will determine reasonable methods for
making the accommodation(s). Students are
expected to self-advocate during this process;
however, the Coordinator of Disability Services
is available to assist both the student and the
professor in determining which method for
accommodation will be used.
Students who require non-academic
accommodations such as housing
modifications, special room assignments or
release, handicapped parking, responsive
160
transportation, or other programmatic or
physical access, should follow the same
guidelines for documentation as described
above. When they meet with the Coordinator
and a determination of reasonable
accommodations is made, the Coordinator will
complete the appropriate paperwork and make
the necessary contacts with the other University
departments. Students are responsible for
following all required procedures for obtaining
services or products from other University
Departments.
In order to determine reasonable
accommodations, consideration of the student's
preferred method will be given. However,
another suitable method of accommodation may
be provided. If a requested accommodation is
unreasonable, is an undue burden on the
University, poses a direct threat to the student
or others, or would result in a fundamental
alteration of the program, the Coordinator will
determine a reasonable alternative
accommodation(s), if any exists, to
accommodate the student.
Appeal Process
Students who are denied eligibility or who are
dissatisfied with an accommodation method
may request that the Coordinator of Disability
Services reconsider the decision.
If students are still dissatisfied after the
Coordinator reconsiders the issue, an appeal
may be made to the Director of the University
Office for Equal Opportunity and Diversity, who
is the University's designated Section 504 and
the Americans with Disabilities Act Compliance
Officer.
The University Office for Equal
Opportunity and Diversity is located in Adelbert
Hall, room 310.
The appeal request should be made within five
(5) days of receipt of notification of denial of
eligibility or a decision on an accommodation
method. The appeal must be submitted in
writing to the Director for review and should
state the grounds for the appeal.
The review by the Director will include meeting
with the student and the Coordinator of
Disability Services, and a review of the file and
supporting documentation. The Director may
also meet with the faculty member and other
persons with information about the issue.
Based on this review, the Director will make a
determination in writing, to grant or deny the
appeal and/or to refer the mater back to the
Coordinator for further consideration consistent
with the Director's decision. The Director's
decision will be forwarded to the student and the
Coordinator of Disability Services. The decision
of the Director is final.
The student should be provided with the
accommodations determined by the Coordinator
during the pendency of the appeal process.
Grievance Procedures for Disability
Discrimination Complaints
Case Western Reserve University has adopted
an internal grievance procedure for handling
complaints of discrimination on the basis of
disability. Students, who feel they have been
discriminated against on the basis of disability,
may contact either the Director of Equal
Opportunity and Diversity or the University
Office of Student Affairs. The Assistant Vice
President of Student Affairs, or his designee,
will investigate student complaints of disability
discrimination. In resolving such complaints, the
University will use the Grievance Process as
outline in the CWRU Undergraduate Handbook.
Confidentiality and Protection of Privacy
All documentation provided to Disability
Services in ESS to determine eligibility for
disability services and appropriate
accommodations is kept confidential. This
information is not part of the student's academic
file and is not maintained by Admissions,
Undergraduate Studies, Graduate Studies, or
the Registrar. It will only be shared with other
administrators, departments, staff and faculty
who have a legitimate educational interest in the
information and require information on
academic restrictions, necessary
accommodations or safety requirements. In
other instances students will be asked to sign a
release of information form
when they want information to be shared with
other University departments, staff, or faculty. If
students present documentation to University
departments other than ESS, that
documentation will be forwarded to Disability
Services in ESS and will be handled as
confidential information documenting the
student's disability.
Disability Services in ESS is the department at
Case that is responsible for determining
eligibility for disability services.
It is not
necessary for the student to disclose the
diagnosis of the disability to any other CWRU
department, staff, or faculty in order to be
accommodated.
