Student Expectations

Statement of Student Responsibilities

Student success depends on their response to the opportunities and responsibilities within the university. When students begin graduate coursework, their actions and efforts will bear out this presumption. The final responsibility for fulfilling the requirements of a course syllabus in each course, for meeting all program/degree requirements, and for complying with the university’s regulations and procedures rests with the student as described in all university publications and websites. 

The Art of Education University students are responsible for, but not limited to, the following:

  • Ensure official transcripts are received and on file as required by AOEU.
  • Check your email account regularly for important university communications.
  • Read and adhere to all published policies and procedures.

  • Ensure name, mailing address, learner location, and personal information are on file and correct.
