01-99 Temporary Methods for Classification of Undergraduate Students and Verification for Admissions Under Emergency Circumstances

Senate Policy 01-99* may be temporarily enabled by the University Faculty Senate to supplement Senate Policies regarding admission and classification of students (policies under 02-00, 05-00, and 06-00) under a situation of special Senate concern. When Senate Policy 01-99 is enacted during times of local, state or federal mandated disasters or emergencies, a student who is seeking admission to a four-year degree program and is classified as degree-seeking may self-certify the receipt of a high school diploma or high school equivalency certificate or completion of secondary school through homeschooling as defined by state law on the undergraduate admissions application. No further documentation is required to verify this self-certification.

When enacted, this policy will supersede policies in 02-00, 05-00, and 06-00 for the duration of the period specified in the enactment.

* This policy will be maintained for historical record and future reference.
