- About
The policies posted to this page are housed in 17勛圖's Division of Academic Affairs. These policies do not represent all academic policies in effect at Lamar. Additional academic policies may be found in the University Catalog, Student Handbook, and other documents focused on Lamar's academic mission.
As part of the Division of Academic Affairs' ongoing efforts to review and, if needed, update its policies, these policies may undergo revision to reflect current academic practices. Substantive changes to the policies will require that revised policies be posted for review and comment by all Lamar faculty, including elected faculty bodies such as the Faculty Senate and Council of Instructional Departments. - General & Policy Development
