General Information
NOTICE CONCERNING CHANGES
The provisions in this publication are not to be regarded as an irrevocable contract between the University and the student. While every
effort is made to provide accurate and up-to-date information, Urbana University reserves the right to change, without notice, statements
in the catalog concerning rules, policies, fees, curricula, courses, or other matters. Courses may be cancelled due to limited resources,
unavailability of faculty, or insufficient enrollment.
NOTICE OF CATALOG SELECTION POLICY
A student must plan course work according to the catalog in effect when entering the University, even though requirements may be
changed. A student has the option of accepting changes in requirements put into effect while still a student and pursuing work under the
new catalog. A choice must be made and only one catalog may be selected. When a degree is conferred — A.A., B.A., B.S. — and a
student enrolls to complete a second degree, any subsequent academic work at the university will be subject to the policies of the current
catalog in effect.
NOTICE OF NONDISCRIMINATORY POLICY
Urbana University is committed to increasing the diversity among its student body, faculty, administration, and staff. Urbana, therefore,
does not engage in discrimination in its education, student life, and employment policies against students, employees, or prospective
employees based upon the basis of race, color, religion, ethnic or national origin, age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, or veteran
status.
NOTICE OF TRUTH IN ADVERTISING
It is important for every Urbana University student to understand that, while certain curricula are designed for the purpose of achieving
registration or certification by an outside agency (or both), completion of such an academic program in no way assures the student of
successful registration or certification, or both. No employee, agent, or representative of Urbana University is authorized to provide such
assurances, either directly or by implication. Promotional information for publications used in student recruitment, information, or
development must be accurate in every aspect. The use of Urbana University in promotional advertisements for other entities is
prohibited without prior written authorization. Any unauthorized use of Urbana University’s name, logos, trademarks, or symbols without
prior consent is a violation of both state and federal law.
