GENERAL INFORMATION<\/strong><\/h4>\n
University Contact with Students through Electronic Mail<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Electronic mail (e-mail) is an official method of contact between the university and students. This e-mail contact applies to all forms of communication including but not limited to matters concerning admissions, registration, financial aid, and academic affairs. Students are given e-mail addresses after their initial application. Students should check e-mail at least once a week. The university provides computer access for all students by way of open computer labs. For information concerning the use of e-mail and the availability of computers, check the Academic Computing website at https:\/\/www.nicholls.edu\/academic_computing\/<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n

ACADEMIC RECORDS AND TRANSCRIPTS<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Records<\/strong><\/h5>\n

All records submitted become the property of the university and cannot be returned to the student.<\/p>\n

Change of Name or Address<\/strong><\/h5>\n

A change of name<\/em> form must be submitted with a copy of an official document to substantiate a name change. (This change can only become effective the following semester or summer session.) Forms can be obtained in the Office of Records and Registration.<\/p>\n

Students are expected to list their current home (physical\/primary) address and, if living on or near the campus, their college (mailing) address. When an address change occurs, the Office of Records and Registration must be notified immediately. Communications will be mailed to students at their addresses currently on file.<\/p>\n

Transcript of Academic Record<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Students may obtain a certified statement of their academic record from the Office of Records and Registration upon written request. Transcript Request Forms are available in the Office of Records and Registration, as well as on the Internet at www.nicholls.edu\/records\/<\/span><\/a>. There is no charge for transcripts.<\/p>\n

Every effort is made to issue transcripts within two to three working days after requests are received. End-of-semester transcripts are mailed as soon as final grades are posted. Transcripts for graduation candidates are usually mailed beginning the first working day after Commencement day. A student is considered to be in good standing and is eligible to continue studies at ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ or transfer elsewhere, unless a statement otherwise is noted on the transcript.<\/p>\n

Transcripts cannot<\/strong> be released if the student either is indebted to the university or has not yet submitted official transcripts from institutions previously attended.<\/p>\n

Transcript of Co-curricular Activities<\/strong><\/h5>\n

If the student has submitted to the Office of Student Affairs a record of his or her co-curricular activities at ÐÓ°É´«Ã½, upon request to the Office of Records and Registration, the student may receive a copy of the co-curricular transcript. There is no charge for the transcript.<\/p>\n

Falsification of Academic Information or Records<\/strong><\/h5>\n

A student who is charged with falsifying academic information, forging, or altering official academic documents, or withholding information relating to his or her admission, transfer credits, academic status, records, etc., shall be notified to report to the Office of Student Life where the student will be informed of these charges. The student will be formally notified of legal rights, and shall have the option of a hearing before the Disciplinary Committee, or the student may choose to waive the right to a hearing and sign his or her consent of cancellation of registration, denial of credit, or other appropriate action.<\/p>\n
