Academic Policies and Procedures
All SPS students are subject to University-enacted rules and regulations, which are found in the Northwestern University Student Handbook. Students are expected to be familiar with all policies in that Student Handbook.
In addition, the rules and regulations of student conduct specific to SPS students are found on the SPS Rules and Regulations of Student Conduct page of the SPS Academic Catalog. The SPS Academic Catalog also details Academic Policies and Procedures for SPS students, including Leaves of Absence, General Registration Policies, and Satisfactory Academic Progress in your program of study.
If you still have questions or unresolved issues after consulting the SPS Academic Catalog please contact your Academic and Career Adviser.
