individual sports each quarter with many leagues offered at advanced,
moderate and recreational levels of play. New activities recently started
are laser tag and paintball as the I.M. program is constantly searching
for new and exciting activities to offer EWU students. What’s in it for
you? Improved physical fitness, social and group interaction, leadership/
individual/team skills development and most importantly, the chance to
have fun and relieve stress from the rigors of college life are all benefits
to playing in I.M. Sports. There is no cost to students and faculty/staff

Schedule change fees for dropping/withdrawing from classes begin
the seventh day of the quarter. Current fees are listed on EagleNET.
Overloading Courses
Undergraduates who wish to enroll in more than 18 credit hours
during a quarter must obtain overload permission from their general
or department advisor.
Requests for 19 or more credit hours are generally approved only
for those with a GPA ≥3.0. Additional per credit fees are assessed for
students enrolled in more than 18 credits per quarter.
Repeating Courses
This is general information that may be superseded by specific program
rules on repeats, such as those for undergraduate business majors.
Graduate students must also follow the specific policies under Academic
Standards and Course Repeat in the front section of this catalog.
You may repeat a course for a higher grade. A course may be repeated
regardless of its delivery mode (traditional classroom or independent
learning). Courses to be repeated for credit value must be identified
during the registration process on EagleNET by going to change class
options under the registration category or by marking the repeat option
square on the paper registration form.
Undergraduate students will be allowed to repeat any single course
twice for a total of three enrollments per course. In addition, you are
limited to a total of ten repeats. The last grade assigned will be the grade
included in the GPA (grade point average) and all grades assigned will
remain on the transcript.
ewu graduate and undergraduate catalog 2015–16

Exception
If a student is showing progress over time, then he or she may be
allowed to take the course additional times. Any repetitions beyond
the two allowed by this policy will only be permitted at the discretion
of the department chair where the course resides. The total number of
repeats still may not exceed ten.
If you fail to indicate the repeat during registration, there may be
detrimental effects on your GPA and total credits toward graduation.
The previous course, along with its credits, grade and grade point
average, will remain recorded on your transcript but will be superseded
by the new course, grade and GPA. Your cumulative GPA will be
adjusted to reflect the new grade.
If you are repeating a course in which you have received a letter grade
with no numeric value such as W you do not need to indicate this at
registration. You should register for the repeat W course as you would
normally register for regular credit and grading.
Courses previously taken may not be repeated
under the following conditions:
• receiving a pass (P) grade with the Pass/Fail or Pass/No
Credit option;
• to improve an undergraduate GPA after receiving a
baccalaureate degree;
• effective spring quarter 2010, courses transferred to Eastern
from another institution will not be counted as repeats for the
purposes of EWU GPA calculation, but can be used to satisfy
prerequisites and all other degree requirements.
Withdrawing from Courses
Withdrawals result in a W grade on the student record and are accepted
in the Records and Registration Office or at EWU Spokane from the
eleventh day of the quarter until the end of the seventh week. Schedule
change fees apply. Students who enroll but do not attend class must
officially withdraw or they will receive a grade of 0.0 and be held
financially responsible for all tuition and fees.
If there are any questions about course withdrawal, please call the
Records and Registration Office at 509.359.2321 or 509.828.1394.
Undergraduate Course Withdrawal Policy
This policy became effective fall quarter 2007 for new students.
EWU students are allowed a total of 10 course withdrawals in their
undergraduate work. (Withdrawals occur after the normal drop/add
period.) Withdrawal from all courses for a quarter for special reasons (for
example, extended illness, accident or military service) as documented
and approved by Records and Registration would only be counted as a
single withdrawal in the apportionment of course withdrawals.
When a student reaches six withdrawals, the student will be notified
by Records and Registration. When a student reaches nine withdrawals,
a registration hold will be placed on the student’s record and the student
will not be allowed to register unless the student has the authorization
from his/her advisor (departmental or program if declared, or his/
her advisor in the General Undergraduate Academic Advising Office).
If there are any questions about course withdrawal, please call the
Records and Registration Office at 509.359.2321 or 509.828.1394.
Withdrawing From the University
Complete withdrawal from the university must be done through
the Records and Registration Office or EWU Spokane. Complete
withdrawal may be done by phoning the Records and Registration
Office at 509.359.2321 or 509.828.1394 or coming in-person to complete
the Withdrawal Clearance form. There is no schedule change fee to
completely withdraw. Refunds are calculated according to the refund
schedule. Any student who stops attending and does not officially
withdraw from the university will receive grades of 0.0 and be held
financially responsible for all tuition and fee charges as well as any
applicable financial aid obligations.
Complete withdrawals may be completed any time during the
quarter prior to one week before finals. Instructor’s permission may
be required after the seventh week of the quarter. Documentation may
also be required in certain cases.

Third-Party Billing
If a government agency, military, program or company is paying for
your tuition and fees, Student Financial Services can assist you in
setting up 3rd party billing arrangements.
Students who are sponsored by a third party may request billing to
the sponsor by submitting a written authorization for tuition, fees and
other educational expenses. Sponsor invoicing occurs once per term.
Sponsor payments must be received for the current term in order for
students to be eligible to continue enrollment in subsequent terms.
In any sponsor billing arrangement, the student is ultimately
responsible for payment of university charges. If a sponsor fails to
pay any amounts invoiced, those original charges are returned to the
student account with appropriate late penalties assessed.
Students or sponsors may submit billing authorization forms to the
following: Student Financial Services, Attn: Third-Party Billing, 202
Sutton Hall, Cheney, WA 99004 or by fax to 509.359.4832.
Complete arrangements for sponsor billing must be made prior to the
statement due dates to prevent late payment penalties. For assistance,
call Student Financial Services at 509.359.6372.
Other Refund Information
Non-financial aid credits will remain as credit balances for future
quarter charges unless a refund is requested. All refunds resulting

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY
EWU expects the highest standards of academic integrity of its
students. Academic honesty is the foundation of a fair and supportive
learning environment for all students. Personal responsibility for
academic performance is essential for equitable assessment of student
accomplishments. The university supports the faculty in setting and
maintaining standards of academic integrity. Charges of academic
dishonesty are reviewed through a process that allows for student
learning and impartial review.
Definitions
Violations of academic integrity involve the use or attempted use
of any method or technique enabling a student to misrepresent the
quality or integrity of any of his or her work in the university and the
program of study.
Violations of academic integrity with respect to examinations include
but are not limited to copying from the work of another, allowing another
student to copy from one’s own work, using crib notes, arranging for
another person to substitute in taking an examination, or giving or
receiving unauthorized information prior to or during the examination.
Violations of academic integrity with respect to written or other types
of assignments include but are not limited to failure to acknowledge
the ideas or words of another that have consciously been taken from
a source, published or unpublished; placing one’s name on papers,
reports, or other documents that are the work of another individual,
whether published or unpublished; misuse of the assistance provided by
another in the process of completing academic work; submission of the
same paper or project for separate courses without prior authorization
by faculty members; fabrication or alteration of data; or knowingly
facilitating the violation of academic integrity by another.
Violations of academic integrity with respect to intellectual property
include but are not limited to theft, alteration or destruction of the
academic work of other members of the community or of the educational
resources, materials or official documents of the university.
Arbitrator: an individual holding or having held faculty rank, appointed
by the dean of graduate and undergraduate studies for the purpose of
reviewing charges of academic dishonesty against a student within
a prescribed time frame as either a first level reviewer or a second
level reviewer.
Instructor(s): the instructor of record.
Resolution/Appeal Form: a set of forms to be utilized to document
and communicate charges of a violation of academic integrity,
instructor recommendations, student responses, process options and
decisions reached.
Sanctions: penalties that may be applied in the event that a violation
of academic integrity is found to have occurred. Sanctions may be
combined and may include but are not limited to:
• course grade penalty;
• dismissal from the university;
• Course grade penalty of a failing course grade; A course grade
penalty of a failing course grade is recorded on the transcript
as an XF and counted as a 0.0 for purposes of GPA calculation.
In this case the 0.0 would be a permanent part of the GPA
calculation. A student may petition to have the XF on the
transcript changed to a 0.0 two years after the date it is entered.
A student may have the XF converted to a 0.0 prior to the end
of this two-year period if the student successfully completes
a course or tutorial on academic integrity. If, after completing
this course, a student again receives a sanction for a violation of
academic integrity, that sanction shall be a permanent part of
the student’s transcript.
• educational opportunity, such as an assignment, research or
taking a course or tutorial on academic integrity;
• grade penalty in a specific academic exercise;
• suspension for a definite period of time;
• verbal or written reprimand.
Sanctions involving grades in an academic exercise or a course final
grade may be imposed by the instructor following the procedures
outlined in this policy.
Sanctions of suspension or dismissal from the university may only
be imposed by the President or the President’s designated disciplinary
officer who will review recommendations for suspension or dismissal
prior to imposing such sanctions.
Privacy: Student privacy rights are to be strictly observed throughout
these procedures. A final finding that a student has violated the
Academic Integrity Policy is placed in the student’s confidential academic
record. Each step of the process to determine whether a violation has
occurred is to remain confidential. Only those parties identified in
these procedures are considered to have a need to know information
regarding an individual student’s actions.
Initiation of Violation of Academic Integrity/
Misconduct Hearing Process
An instructor may initiate the process to review charges of a violation
of academic integrity by notifying the alleged offending student of the
charges and of the sanction proposed by the instructor. This notification
shall occur within five (5) university instruction days of establishing
that grounds exist that an infraction of the academic integrity code
exists. Notification may be oral but must always be supported by
written notification. Notification shall include a description of the
alleged violation of academic integrity including appropriate dates,
specification of assignment/test/exercise and any relevant evidence.
The notification shall also include the specific remedy proposed by the
faculty member for the misconduct. The notification shall also indicate
to the student whether the instructor elects to offer resolution through
Direct Instructor-Student Resolution or through External Resolution.
These processes are described separately below.

POLICIES continued
Direct Instructor-Student Resolution
If the instructor elects Direct Resolution, the finding and proposed
sanction of the instructor is considered a first level review that can be
appealed to an appointed arbitrator at a second level review.
The instructor may elect to attempt resolution through direct
interaction with the student. The student would so indicate that
notification had been received by signing the appropriate line of the
Resolution/Appeal Form.
Upon notification, the student has five (5) university instruction
days to respond to the instructor.
The student may accept responsibility for the alleged action and
waive the right to appeal by accepting the charges and the sanction
proposed by the faculty member or a sanction mutually agreed upon.
If the student agrees to direct resolution, the student and faculty
member will sign a Resolution/Appeal form and forward the completed
waiver (including the sanction imposed) to the student judicial officer
for recording in the confidential disciplinary file of the student. The
instructor will then implement the sanction.
If the student fails to respond within five (5) university instruction
days, the instructor will send another copy of the written notification
to the student by certified mail, return receipt requested to the most
current address the student has on file with the Records and Registration
Office. Failure of the student to respond within five (5) days following
receipt of the written notification by certified mail, shall be interpreted
as an admission of responsibility and acceptance of the instructor’s
proposed sanctions. If a student fails to respond within five (5) university
instruction days after receipt of the written notification by certified
mail the instructor shall impose the sanctions and forward a copy of
the appropriately completed Resolution/Appeal form to the student
judicial officer.
The student may exercise the right to appeal. In the event of
student appeal, the instructor and the student complete and sign the
Resolution/Appeal form and forward a copy to the dean of graduate and
undergraduate studies or designee who then appoints an arbitrator to
review the charges as in the external resolution process and the process
will follow the external resolution hearing steps.
External Resolution
The instructor may elect to pursue charges of a violation of academic
integrity against a student through the External Resolution process. This
process provides an arbitrator, appointed from the university at-large,
to review the relevant facts and to take statements from the instructor
and the student. By referring charges for External Resolution, the
instructor implicitly agrees to accept the findings of the arbitrator and
the sanction determined by the arbitrator. Where possible the arbitrator
shall be guided by sanctions as detailed in the instructor’s syllabus.
Initial Notification: The instructor informs the student in initiating a
violation of academic integrity charge as outlined above that the charge
will be heard through external resolution process. This notification
is forwarded to the dean of graduate and undergraduate studies as
appropriate within five (5) university instruction days of establishing
that grounds exist that an infraction of the academic integrity code exists.
Appointment of Arbitrator: Within five (5) university instruction days
of receipt of the notification from the instructor, the dean of graduate
and undergraduate studies appoints an arbitrator from among qualified
candidates (see definition of arbitrator) and notifies the student of an
initial hearing in writing.
412
www.ewu.edu
Initial Hearing: Within five (5) university instruction days of receipt
of the notification from the instructor, the dean of graduate and
undergraduate studies or designee informs the student of the process
as outlined in this policy, reviews the charges in the initial notification,
informs the student of the sanction recommended by the instructor
and of the range of sanctions that could be imposed by the arbitrator,
apprises the student of the right to appeal and potential consequences
of appeal. The dean of graduate and undergraduate studies or designee
ascertains that the student understands the process and the charges
and documents the initial hearing.
Student failure to respond to notice of initial hearing: If the student
fails to respond within five (5) university instruction days, the dean of
graduate and undergraduate studies will send another copy of the written
notification to the student by certified mail, return receipt requested to
the most current address the student has on file with the Records and
Registration Office. Failure of the student to respond within five (5)
days following receipt of the written notification by certified mail, shall
be interpreted as an admission of responsibility and acceptance of the
instructor’s original proposed sanctions. If a student fails to respond
within five (5) university instruction days after receipt of the written
notification by certified mail, the dean of graduate and undergraduate
studies informs the instructor of this failure to respond so that the
instructor may impose the sanction proposed initially.
Arbitrator Review: After the appointment of the arbitrator, the
student may respond to the charges in a written statement submitted
to the arbitrator. The student may also include any relevant written
documentation, third party statements, or evidence deemed relevant
to the student’s interests. The arbitrator primarily reviews written
evidence. The arbitrator may consult with the instructor, the student
or others as the arbitrator deems appropriate to discovering the facts
of the matter or to determining the nature of the alleged violation
of academic integrity. The arbitrator shall conclude the review and
issue a decision within ten (10) university instruction days after his/
her appointment unless the faculty member and student both agree
to extend the time line. All evidence collected in this process must be
made available to the student and/or faculty member upon request.
Arbitrator Decision: after completing a review of the charges and
relevant evidence, the arbitrator notifies the dean of graduate and
undergraduate studies or designee who in turn notifies the instructor,
student and student judicial officer of the arbitrator’s decision and of
the sanctions, if any, to be imposed.
Appeal Rights
If the arbitrator hears the case after the student declined direct resolution,
the arbitrator’s decision constitutes an appeal of the instructor’s initial
sanction. This appeal is unqualifiedly available to any student dissatisfied
with the instructor’s proposed sanction under direct resolution. In
this situation the first level arbitrator’s decision is final and no further
appeal is available. The first level arbitrator’s decision is communicated
to the student judicial officer for implementation and recording in the
student’s confidential disciplinary record.
If the first level arbitrator hears the case as the result of the instructor’s
selection of external resolution, the first level arbitrator’s decision is
considered an initial decision and may be appealed. An appeal of that
decision will be heard only if at least one of the following criteria is
met: 1. evidence is provided that the penalty imposed by the first level
arbitrator is disproportionate to the offense; 2. evidence is provided that
the first level arbitrator’s decision was arrived at through a violation
or misapplication of specified procedures; 3. substantial evidence is
provided that the first level arbitrator’s decision was unreasonable or
arbitrary; and/or 4. new evidence has emerged that, had it been available
at the time of the first level arbitrator’s decision, might reasonably be
expected to have affected that decision.
POLICIES continued
The student may request an appeal of the decision of the first level
arbitrator by submitting a request for an appeal to the dean of graduate
and undergraduate studies or designee within three (3) university
instruction days of receipt of the notification of the arbitrator’s
decision. Upon receipt of the student’s request for an appeal, the dean
of graduate and undergraduate studies or designee makes an initial
determination whether at least one of the four (4) criteria listed in
the paragraph above may have been met. If the dean of graduate and
undergraduate studies or designee determines that an appeal is justified,
he or she appoints a second level arbitrator within five (5) university
instruction days of the receipt of the request for an appeal. The second
level arbitrator reviews the written record and any additional or new
documentation submitted by the student in requesting the appeal.
The decision of the second level arbitrator is to be made within ten
(10) university instruction days of his/her appointment and is a final
ruling. It is transmitted to the dean of graduate and undergraduate
studies who then forwards the decision to the instructor, the student
and the student judicial officer for implementation and recording.
All evidence collected in this process must be made available to the
student and/or instructor upon request.
Repeat Violations
The purpose of recording charges and sanctions in the student’s
disciplinary record is to determine patterns of behavior. Repeat
violations of academic integrity may result in more severe sanctions
imposed by the instructor or arbitrator. The dean of graduate and
undergraduate studies or designee is considered to have a need to
know of prior academic integrity violations and may request such
information from the student judicial officer prior to making or
transmitting a decision on a pending charge.
Three sanctioned instances of a violation of academic integrity
during a student’s enrollment at Eastern Washington University will
constitute grounds for an immediate sanction of dismissal from the
university. Such action will be taken by the president or the president’s
designated disciplinary officer upon notification of three sanctions by
the student judicial officer.
Course Withdrawal Suspended During Hearings
A student officially notified of charges of a violation of academic
integrity may not withdraw from the course until the determination
of responsibility is made and any sanctions are imposed. A sanction
for a violation of academic integrity that affects the course grade will
be applied. The student may not avoid the imposition of a sanction by
withdrawing from a course. If the student is found not responsible for
actions violating the Academic Integrity Policy, the student will be
permitted to withdraw from the course with a grade of W and with
no financial penalty, regardless of the deadline for official withdrawal.
Continuation in Course Pending Final Decision
A student may continue to attend and perform all expected functions
within a course (e.g. take tests, submit papers, participate in discussions
and labs) while a charge of a violation of academic integrity is under
review, even if the instructor recommendation is a failing grade in
the course, suspension or dismissal. Full status as an enrollee in a
course may continue until a sanction is imposed. Final imposition of
a sanction of a failing grade in a course will result in the immediate
suspension of attendance in that class by the student.
ACCESS TO ACADEMIC RECORDS
Student Directory Information
Certain categories of student information are considered open or
directory-type data and may be released to the public if the student
is enrolled at the university at the time of request. These categories
include name, addresses, telephone number, major field of study,
participation in officially recognized activities and sports, dates of
attendance, degrees and awards received and the most recent previous
educational agency or institution attended.
All other information regarding a student’s record or attendance is
restricted and may not be released to a third party without the student’s
written permission except as allowed under the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. Examples of restricted information
are a student’s course enrollment, the number of credits earned and
any grade-related information. This policy is in compliance with
federal rules and regulations and is intended to protect each student’s
privacy and security. Specific details of the Family Educational Rights
and Privacy Act of 1974 are available in the Records and Registration
Office, 201 Sutton Hall. See Appendix B WAC 172–191 on page 407.
Special Note: Students may request that directory information not
be released to the public. A directory restriction can be requested
in person at the Records and Registration office, 201 Sutton Hall
or Riverpoint Student Services, N. 668 Riverpoint Blvd., Room 101.
Students who request a directory restriction will not be sent general
non-educational information from the university. University notice
of Dean’s List to local papers and to the National Dean’s List will not
be made for students with restrictions. For more information on the
directory restriction, see the information in WAC 172–191 on page 407
or check with Records and Registration, 201 Sutton Hall, 509.359.2321
or Riverpoint Student Services, 509.828.1394.
CREDITS
The term quarter hour corresponds with credit, hour or credit hour.
The proportion of time in each course assigned to lecture, studio,
laboratory, independent study or ensemble is recommended by faculty
of the department offering the course.
One quarter hour of credit is assigned in the following
ratio of hours per week devoted to the course of study:
lecture/discussion: one hour in the classroom per week for each credit
hour (two hours outside preparation expected);
studio (art classes): minimum two hours in the classroom per week
for each credit hour (one hour of outside preparation expected per
credit hour);
laboratory: minimum two hours in the lab per week for each credit hour
(one hour of outside preparation expected per credit hour). Ensemble
(music classes): minimum two hours per week for each credit hour
(one hour of outside preparation expected per credit hour);
independent study: minimum three hours of work per week for each
credit hour.
FINAL EXAMS
• Final examinations are scheduled for specific dates and
times at the end of each quarter. The examination schedule is
published in the university’s quarterly announcement. Final
comprehensive examinations should not be given during the
regular 10-week schedule.
• Students shall not be granted special examinations for any
reason other than a family emergency or other bona fide
hardship. Course instructors are the final authority in such
circumstances.
• Students that have two final examinations scheduled
concurrently by the university must contact one or all
instructors involved and ask them to resolve the situation and
find a suitable solution.

GRADE CORRECTIONS AND APPEALS
Grade Corrections
Except for “X” and “Y,” all grades are final and can be changed only
in the case of university (instructor, clerical or administrative) error.
Such corrections must be submitted by the instructor and approved by
the department chair and college dean. Requests for grade corrections
must be submitted to the Records and Registration Office within two
quarters of the initial grade assignment.
Grade Appeals
The purpose of the Grade Appeal Policy is to provide students with a
safeguard against receiving an unfair final grade, while respecting the
academic responsibility of the instructor. Every student has a right to
receive a grade assigned upon a fair and unprejudiced evaluation based
on a method that is neither arbitrary nor capricious. Instructors have
the right to assign a grade based on any method that is professionally
acceptable, submitted in writing to all students, and applied equally.
A grade appeal shall be confined to charges of unfair action toward an
individual student and may not involve a challenge of an instructor’s
grading standard. A student has the right to expect thoughtful and
clearly defined approaches to course grading, but it must be recognized
that varied standard and individual approaches to grading are valid.
It is incumbent on the student to substantiate the claim that his or her
final grade represents unfair treatment, compared to the standard
applied to other students.
The grade appeal procedure applies only when a student initiates a
grade appeal. The procedure strives to resolve a disagreement between
student and instructor concerning the assignment of a grade in a
collegial manner.
In a grade appeal, only arbitrariness and/or prejudice will be considered
as legitimate grounds for an appeal.
• Arbitrariness: The grade awarded represents such a substantial
departure from accepted academic norms as to demonstrate that
the instructor did not actually exercise professional judgment.
• Prejudice: The grade awarded was based on unequal application of
grading standards or by applying grading criteria to one student
or some students in a manner that treats them differently.
• Appeals must comply with the time limits specified below or the
right to appeal is forfeited. Reasonable exceptions to the deadlines
may be made by the chair or designee.
Grade Appeal Procedures
1. A student who wishes to question a grade must submit a written
request for a meeting and a brief description of the issue to the
instructor of record no later than 10 working days after the start
of the next regular academic term after receiving the grade. The
deadlines for spring quarter and summer term are counted from the
2. beginning of fall quarter. If the instructor is no longer at the
university or is on leave, the chair of the department or designee
will act in place of the instructor of record.
3. If the student’s concern remains unresolved after the discussion
with the instructor the student may submit a “Notice of Intent
to File a Grade Appeal” form (available online) including a brief
statement of problem to the chair of the department within five
working days of speaking with the instructor.
4. The chair or designee shall review the student’s request, discuss
the situation with the instructor whenever possible, and attempt
to resolve the matter. The chair or designee shall provide a written
explanation of his/her findings to the student and instructor within
five working days of receiving the form.
5. If the student is not satisfied with the written explanation, the
student may submit an “Official Grade Appeal” form (available
online) within five working days to the chair or designee requesting
a hearing with a Grade Appeals Board.
414
www.ewu.edu
Grade Appeals Board
The grade appeal is heard by a grade appeals board which shall be
convened no later than 20 working days after submission of the official
grade appeal. (The date may be extended if mutually agreed upon by
both parties.)
Members:
1. This board is chaired by the department chair or a designee who
serves in a nonvoting capacity.
2. Selection of members is facilitated by the department chair or
designee unless there is an obvious conflict of interest, in which
case the dean or a designee shall do so. The dean shall determine
whether a conflict of interest exists.
3. Three people will constitute the grade appeals board.
i. The student petitioner shall first nominate a member and
then the instructor shall nominate a member.
ii. A third member mutually agreeable to both parties will then
be selected.
iii. At least one of the three members must be a student.
The grade appeal board will attempt to meet the following principles
in evaluating the grade appeal:
a. The appeal board must be held at a mutually agreeable time.
b. Good Faith: Parties to the dispute must make a good faith effort
to follow these steps or forfeit access to the appeal process.
c. Process Concerns: If the student, instructor or chair has legitimate
concerns about the appeal process, the dean of the college will
work to alleviate or correct the problems.
d. Subpoena: The appeal board does not have subpoena power.
e. Evidence: Although the formal rules of evidence do not apply,
every attempt will be made to be fair to both parties. The parties
may offer exhibits and/or witnesses.
f. Representation: The principals may not be represented by counsel
or others.
g. Burden of Proof: The student appellant has the burden of proving
by a preponderance of the evidence (more probable than not), that
such inappropriate grading procedures have occurred.
Grade Appeal Board Recommendations:
Within 15 working days of first convening, the appeal board, through
its chair, will submit its recommendation in writing to the student, the
instructor concerned, and the dean of the college.
Instructor Response: If the recommendation of the appeal board
supports a change to the student’s final grade, the instructor has five
working days to notify the chair of the appeal board of his/her decision
and action, with a copy to the dean of the college.
The final decision to change a grade lies with the instructor, except if:
a. the instructor cannot or does not respond to the appeal board’s
recommendation within five working days
b. or if the appeal board’s findings determine prejudiced or other
inappropriate grading practices by the instructor and the instructor
declines to change the grade.
In these cases the final decision to change the grade lies with the dean.
There is no further right of appeal.
Within 20 working days of the final decision involving an official
grade appeal, the chair of the appeal board shall notify in writing the
student, the instructor, the dean of the college, and the chair of the
department concerned of the decision of the appeal board and the
instructor’s decision and action. When the final decision is made by the
dean in the cases noted above, the dean shall implement the decision
and shall make the proper written notification to the parties concerned.

The minimum level of performance required to receive a grade of P
is a grade ≥2.0. Students should be aware that performance equal
to a grade between 0.7 and 1.9 will not result in a passing mark.
4. The P or NC grade will be entered on the transcript. Students
receiving the P grade will receive credits toward graduation. Neither
the P nor the NC grade will be included in computing GPAs.
Incomplete (×)
Special circumstances, such as severe illness or death of a family member,
may warrant an incomplete or × grade. An × grade may be assigned
when the student is passing the course but is unable to complete all
course requirements. Incomplete grades are only assigned to students
who have been attending the class and performed all necessary work
up until the last three weeks of the quarter during the academic year
or until the last two weeks of summer session.
Faculty assignment of an × grade requires
• a meeting with the student to make them aware of the specific
terms you are assigning for the completion of work and what
the grade will convert to if they do not submit the work in the
assigned time frame;
• recording the conversion grade if the student does not complete
the work (may be a 0.0);
• Recording the extension date for the grade to automatically
convert if the work is not completed (end of one quarter, two
quarters, three quarters or a full year. The extension date must
be prior to the last day of instruction for the quarter indicated.)
Incompletes need to be completed within one year of the
registered term.

Ongoing Thesis or Research Work (Y)
Students engaged in lengthy research projects or other courses that
may extend for more than one quarter can be given a grade of Y until
the project is complete and a final grade is assigned. Normally these
courses are graduate research projects, theses, or internships.
RESIDENCY
Residency is determined at the time of formal admission to the university
on the basis of information included in the university application for
admission. Determination of residency is governed by the statutes and
policies of the state of Washington. In general, to qualify for residency,
a student must:
• have established a formal residence in Washington for other
than educational purposes for at least 12 consecutive months
prior to the first day of the quarter for which residency status is
requested
or
• be a dependent student whose parent(s) or legal guardian(s)
have maintained a bona fide residence in Washington 12
consecutive months prior to the first day of the quarter.
A student does not lose residency status because of service in another
state or country while a member of the civil or military service, if that
person maintains ties and returns to Washington within one year of
discharge with intent of maintaining a residence in the state. However,
maintaining residency ties in a former or other state (for example by
keeping a driver’s license) may invalidate claims to Washington residency.
For more information see Appendix C, go to the EWU Residency
website at www.ewu.edu/residency or call the Residency Officer for
the university at: 509.359.6586.
Note: see specific information on Y grades in the policy section of Graduate Studies.

SRR will evaluate the circumstances and recommend to the
dean of students if any interim restriction action against
the accused is warranted or if any interim measures to
assist or protect the complainant and/or victim during
the conduct code process are needed. In cases of alleged
harassment and/or sexual misconduct, the director of
SRR shall, in conjunction with the dean of students and
other appropriate university officials, take immediate steps
to protect the complainant and/or victim from further
harassment prior to completion of the investigation/
resolution of the complaint. Appropriate steps may include
separating the accused harasser and the complainant/
victim, providing counseling for the complainant/
victim and/or harasser, and/or taking disciplinary action

complaint review, the director of SRR will either dismiss
the matter or arrange a preliminary conference. (a) Dismiss
the matter. If the director of SRR believes that there is
insufficient justification or insufficient evidence to pursue
conduct review proceedings against the accused, he/she
may dismiss the matter. In such cases, the director of
SRR will prepare a written record of the dismissal. The
director of SRR will also notify the complainant of their

Classification procedure.(1) After a student has registered
at any institution as a nonresident, such student’s
classification shall remain unchanged in the absence of
evidence of a sufficient quantity and quality to satisfy the
institution to the contrary. The provision of such evidence
to the contrary may be initiated by the student or the
institution.(2) Application for a change in classification
shall be accepted up to the thirtieth calendar day following
the first day of the instruction of the quarter or semester
for which application is made. Applications made after
that date in any quarter or semester shall be considered
to have been filed as of the first day of the subsequent
quarter or semester.(3) Any change in classification, either
nonresident to resident, or the reverse, shall be based
upon written evidence maintained in the files of the
institution.(4) Approval of an application for resident
status shall be made only after satisfaction that the
requirements of domicile and independency or
dependency have been made in compliance with RCW
28B.15.012 and WAC 250–18–030 and 250–18–035.
Reclassification from nonresident to resident status
preliminarily approved sixty days or more prior to the
satisfaction of a one–year durational domicile shall be
supplemented with additional documented proof of
domicile if deemed necessary by the institution prior to
final approval.(5) The burden of proof that a student,
parent, or legally appointed guardian has established a
domicile in the state of Washington primarily for purposes
other than educational lies with the student.(6) For any
student classified as a resident or authorized to pay resident
fees or exempted from the payment of the nonresident
differential on a basis other than an established domicile
in the state of Washington, the fee paying status of such
student shall be subject to determination each term on
the basis of chapter 28B.15 RCW.[Statutory Authority:

250–18–030 Establishment of a domicile. The domicile
of any person shall be determined according to the
individual’s overall situation and circumstances and is
not determined on the basis of a single factor; nor is a
predetermined number of factors required. Institutions
shall require evidence of a Washington domicile that is
of sufficient quantity and quality to negate the existence
of a domicile in a state other than Washington.A
nonresident student who is enrolled for more than six
hours per semester or quarter shall be presumed to be in
the state of Washington for primarily educational
purposes. Such period of enrollment shall not be counted
toward the establishment of a bona fide domicile of one
year in this state unless such student proves that he or
she has, in fact, established a bona fide domicile in this
state primarily for purposes other than educational.To
aid the institutions in determining whether a student,
parent, legally appointed guardian, or the person having
legal custody of a student has established a bona fide
domicile in the state of Washington primarily for purposes
other than educational, the following factors are to be
considered for both the individual and his or her spouse.
The weight assigned to any given factor should depend
on the ease with which it might be established and the
degree to which it demonstrates commitment to domicile
as a matter of common sense and as part of the individual’s
overall circumstances.(1) Location and duration of
registration or payment of taxes or fees on any motor
vehicle, mobile home, travel trailer, boat, or any other
item or personal property owned or used by the person;(2)
State and duration of any driver’s license for the previous
one year;(3) Location and duration of any continuous
full-time employment of the previous one year;(4) Address
and other pertinent facts listed on a true and correct copy
of federal and state income tax returns for the calendar
year prior to the year in which application is made;(5)
Location and duration of any voter registration for the
previous one year;(6) Location and duration of primary
residence, evidenced by title, lease agreement, or monthly
rental receipts for the previous one year;(7) Residence
status in all secondary and postsecondary schools attended
outside the state of Washington;(8) Location and duration
of any checking accounts, savings accounts, and/or safety
deposit boxes for the previous one year;(9) Address listed
on selective service registration;(10) Location of
membership in professional, business, civic or other
organizations;(11) Receipt of benefits under a public
assistance programs;(12) State claimed as residence for
obtaining eligibility to hold a public office or for judicial
actions;(13) State claimed as residence for obtaining state
hunting or fishing licenses;(14) State in which a custodial
parent has a child attending public schools.[Statutory

the disclosure required concerning the parent’s or legal
guardian’s state and federal tax returns shall be limited
to the listing of dependents claimed and the signature of
the taxpayer and shall not require disclosure of financial
information contained in the returns.(f) A student
whose parents are both deceased or who has been made
an official ward of the court may be required to provide
documentation attesting to the fact of such circumstances.
(g) Evidence of coverage for medical, life, automobile, and
property insurance.(2) To aid institutions in determining
the financial independence of a student whose parents,
legally appointed guardian, or person having legal custody
of the student do not provide the documentation because
of total separation or other reasons from the student,
documentation clearly stating the student’s status and
relationship with his or her parents or legal guardian from
a responsible third person, e.g., family physician, lawyer,
or social worker may be submitted.(3) To be considered
financially independent, a student must demonstrate by
evidence satisfactory to the institution that he or she has
met, through his or her income, the expenses associated
with college tuition and living for the current calendar
year and the calendar year immediately prior to the year
in which application is made. Personal loans, PLUS loans
(parent loan for undergraduate students), gifts, and cash
earnings shall not be counted as income in this calculation.
Financial aid grants, scholarships and loans authorized
by the financial aid office in the student’s name may be
considered as personal income.(4) A trust or other account
available to the student shall be considered evidence of
financial dependence. If the account was created before
the student entered high school, there shall be a rebuttable
presumption of dependence.(5) Information submitted
by the student to the institution on the financial aid form
may be used to affirm the authenticity of information
submitted on an application.(6) In all cases, the burden
of proof that a student is financially independent lies
with the student.[Statutory Authority: RCW 28B.15.015.

Students required to reside in
university residence halls.
172–130–020Exceptions.
172–130–030Process.
Purpose: This policy describes university standards for
affirmative action, equal opportunity, and discrimination.
It also establishes procedures for handling related
complaints or incidents of policy violations.
WAC 172–130–010 Students required to reside in
university residence halls. All full-time, single, firstyear students of Eastern Washington University who
are under twenty-one years of age are required to live in
university residence hall facilities throughout their first
year at the university.
History: This policy was adopted by the EWU Board
of Trustees on June 22, 2011, superseding the previous
version dated November 19, 2010. This policy was
originally adopted on Sep. 12, 2008 and superseded UGS
600–090–020 through 600–090–080.
WAC 172–130–020 Exceptions. Students may request
an exception to WAC 172–130–010. Requests must clearly
describe the basis for the request and include supporting
documentation as appropriate. The approval authority
is the chief housing officer or designee. Exceptions will
be considered for the following reasons:(1) Students
who will continuously reside with a parent and/or legal
guardian throughout the quarter for which the exception
is sought.(2) Students who have primary legal custody
of a child.(3) Students employed off campus and whose
housing is part of their overall compensation received.
To qualify, employment must be for an established place
of business or for an established family unit when a
landlord/employer requires the student to reside where
the work is performed and a substantial portion of the
rent and/or room and board is reduced as a part of the
overall compensation for the work performed.(4) Students
with a documented medical issue that is incompatible
with living in a university residence hall. The director of
disability support services will evaluate documentation
and make a recommendation regarding this exception.
(5) Students for whom living in a university residence hall
would cause undue financial hardship.(6) Students who
will reach the age of twenty-one during their first year at the
university.(7) Students who have attended an institution
of higher education as a full-time student for at least two
regular semesters or three regular quarters. Enrollments
during summer terms or while simultaneously completing
high school requirements, e.g., Running Start or similar
programs, do not count as previous attendance under this
exception.(8) Students who have unique situations, not
otherwise covered in this section that could make living
in a residence hall unduly burdensome.
WAC 172–130–030 Process. Applications for permission
to reside off campus are available from the Eastern
Washington University Department of Housing and
Residential Life, 1027 Cedar St., Cheney, WA 99004.
Applications are reviewed and a determination is made
whether an exception will be granted. Persons applying
for such exception will be informed of the decision in
writing. Requests for reconsideration of the decision
may be submitted to the dean of students within ten
working days of the date the student receives notice that
their request has been denied. The dean of students, or
designee, will evaluate the appeal and approve or deny
the appeal. The decision by the dean of students is final;
no further appeals are available.

the conduct rises to the level of unlawful discrimination,
sexual harassment, or retaliation.
1–3. Scope This policy applies to all EWU programs and

provisions of this policy.
1–4. Reprisal or Retaliation It is a violation of this policy

participated in an investigation, or has attempted to do so.
1–5. Confidentiality To facilitate the investigative process
and protect the privacy of those involved, all information

action, equal opportunity, and discrimination policies and
programs. The president will promote those programs and
policies and monitor university compliance.
2–2. Director Equal Opportunity / Affirmative Action

Prevention: Prevention is the best method for eliminating
discrimination and sexual harassment in the workplace.
Supervisors and faculty members can help prevent
discrimination and sexual harassment by modeling
appropriate behaviors and by arranging discrimination
prevention training when necessary. b. Response: When

incidents of discrimination and/or harassment, they
will take appropriate action based on the situation. In all
cases, the supervisor or faculty member will report the
incident or behavior to appropriate authorities. c. Faculty

student activities in the classroom and to take appropriate
action when discriminatory or harassing behaviors or
incidents occur. d. Supervisors and faculty who are – or
should be – aware of discriminatory practices or sexual
harassment within their department, area, or classroom
will be held responsible for their actions in response to
such circumstances. In determining such responsibility,
the supervisor’s or faculty member’s extent of control over
the circumstances and any corrective actions they have
taken will be considered.
CHAPTER 3 – HUMAN RIGHTS
3–1. Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action.
Eastern Washington University is committed to equal
opportunity, fair treatment, and taking affirmative action
to increase the number and retention of students and
employees from historically underrepresented groups.
The University maintains an affirmative action program in
support of federal requirements and provides updates on
program activities to Office Federal Contract Compliance
Program (OFCCP) and Washington State Department of
Personnel, as required. To help meet university affirmative
action goals, all advertisements for employment will
include the following statement: “Eastern Washington
University is committed to increasing and retaining
the diversity of its faculty, staff, students and academic
programs. We are an affirmative action/equal opportunity
employer. Applications from members of historically
underrepresented groups are especially encouraged.”
3–2. Discrimination / Sexual Harassment. The term

the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national origin,
sex, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, genetic
information, age, marital status, families with children,
honorably discharged veteran or military status or the
presence of any sensory, mental, or physical disability
or the use of a trained dog guide or service animal by a
person with a disability. Any discriminatory action can
be a cause for disciplinary action. a. Sexual harassment
is a form of discrimination and is a violation of the basic
tenets of human dignity. Sexual harassment violates

cause to believe they are being subjected to unlawful
discrimination are encouraged to seek confidential advice
and assistance as soon as possible. c. When an informal
or formal complaint is filed the complainant and alleged
offender will fully cooperate with management and/or

4–2. Informal Complaint Process. a. The Discrimination/
Sexual Harassment complaint form is available on the web

manager. (4) Request Mediation with the alleged offender.
Mediation will be performed by the EO Office or other
qualified mediator. (5) Report matter to the EO Office

does not restrict the complainant from the external or
formal complaint process. If the informal process is
unsuccessful or no longer an option, the external and
or formal process is available to resolve complaint. The
EWU Discrimination/Sexual Harassment complaint form
is available on the web at the EWU Equal Opportunity
web site and at any of the offices listed in chapter 5. 4–3.
Formal Complaint Process If a complainant decides to
file a formal complaint, they may file their complaint
