Program Overview and Requirements

The Informatics Program requires satisfactory completion of core and elective coursework, supervised laboratory experience, and a culminating project or thesis as described in program curriculum. Minimum enrollment per semester and progression standards are governed by the Academic Requirements below. Minimum cumulative GPA required for graduation:

Academic Policies

Grading, appeals, probation, suspension, and reinstatement procedures follow the program's academic governance. Students are expected to meet assignment deadlines and attendance obligations; failure to meet those obligations may result in grade reduction or administrative action consistent with program policy.

I acknowledge that I have read and will comply with the academic policies including the grading scale, attendance expectations, and academic probation procedures.

Academic Integrity

The program enforces strict academic integrity standards. Acts of plagiarism, fabrication, cheating, unauthorized collaboration, or other forms of academic dishonesty will subject a student to disciplinary procedures up to and including dismissal. Students must properly attribute sources and follow collaboration rules stated by course instructors.

I agree to abide by the Academic Integrity Policy and understand the potential sanctions for violations.

Technology, Data Use, and Privacy

Students will use institutional computing resources, laboratory systems, and data sets in compliance with applicable laws and program policies. Sensitive or restricted data must be handled only with appropriate authorization; students are required to follow data security and privacy safeguards, including encryption and access controls where indicated.

I consent to the program's reasonable monitoring of institutional systems and certify that I will not attempt unauthorized access to data or systems.

Laboratory and Equipment Use

Access to labs, specialized hardware, and software is a privilege contingent on compliance with safety protocols, responsible use, scheduled bookings, and return of equipment in good condition. Damage or loss caused by negligence may result in repair or replacement charges and suspension of lab privileges.

I accept responsibility for proper care of equipment and will follow lab safety and checkout procedures.

Projects, Research & Intellectual Property

Project and research work completed in the program may give rise to intellectual property. Ownership, disclosure, and commercialization are governed by institutional policy. Students must disclose inventions or inventions involving institutional resources and comply with sponsor or funder obligations.

I acknowledge the program's IP policy and will disclose research outputs as required.

Accommodations and Appeals

Students with documented disabilities or needs for academic accommodations should notify the program promptly. Appeals of academic decisions may be submitted in writing and will be reviewed in accordance with established procedures and timelines.

I request accommodation consideration:

Disciplinary Actions and Appeals

Violations of program policy may result in admonition, remediation, probation, suspension, or dismissal depending on severity and recidivism. Students subject to disciplinary action have the right to written notice and an appeal consistent with program procedures.

Records, Consent & Release

By signing this acknowledgment, the student authorizes the program to access academic records, enrollment status, and project evaluations for administrative and accrediting purposes. The program will maintain confidentiality of personally identifiable information in accordance with applicable policies.

I authorize access to my academic and project records for program administration:
