MyDegrees allows a user who has exception privileges to apply exceptions to a Students audit to clear degree requirements. These exceptions are part of the audit trail of the degree clearance process. The product does not have a relationship built between Advisor/Faculty and Student and the types of exceptions that an Advisor/Faculty may apply to a student’s audit. The User with exception privileges has a responsibility to apply exceptions only to students assigned to the user’s departmental real of study. Exceptions are not to be applied to University level requirements. University Level Requirements are the responsibility of the Registrars to review and apply exceptions as necessary.
No exceptions are to be applied outside of the users of the departmental responsibilities or to University level requirements. Users who use their exceptions privileges inappropriately will receive a warning and the exception reversed. If continued violations occur, the user’s privileges for applying exceptions will be revoked.
