4.3 Civil and Environmental Engineering

This program produces civil and environmental engineers who are responsible for the design and construction of the nation’s civil and marine infrastructure (buildings, bridges, and offshore structures; highway systems, airports, and energy transport systems; dams, locks, levees, and canals; all water treatment and distribution systems; and all aspects of environmental management and pollution prevention and remediation.

 

4.3.1 Overview

 

Civil engineering is a profession that applies the basic principles of science in conjunction with mathematical and computational tools to solve problems associated with developing and sustaining civilized life on our planet. Civil engineering works are generally one-of-a-kind projects; they are often grand in scale; and they usually require cooperation among professionals of many different disciplines. The completion of a civil engineering project involves the solution of technical problems in which uncertainty of information and myriad non-technical factors often play a significant role. Some of the most common examples of civil engineering works include bridges, buildings, dams, airports, highways, tunnels, and water distribution systems. Civil engineers are concerned with flood control, landslides, air and water pollution, and the design of facilities to withstand earthquakes and other natural hazards, in addition to protecting our environment for a sustainable future.

The Civil Engineering program comprises seven main areas (construction engineering and management, construction materials engineering, environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, environmental hydrology and hydraulics, structural engineering, and transportation engineering) and three cross-cutting programs (sustainable and resilient infrastructure systems; energy, water, and environmental sustainability; and societal risk management). Although each area has its own special body of knowledge and engineering tools, they all rely on the same fundamental core principles. Civil engineering projects often draw on expertise from many of these areas and programs.

 

Our Education Objectives are to educate Civil Engineering students to:

Keep exploring new techniques and new knowledge for the sustainable development of human society.

Successfully enter the civil and environmental engineering profession as practicing engineers and consultants with prominent companies and organizations in diverse areas that include structural, transportation, geotechnical, materials, environmental, and hydrologic engineering; construction management; or other related or emerging fields.

Pursue graduate education and research at major research universities in civil and environmental engineering, and related fields.

Pursue professional licensure and advance to leadership positions in the profession.

Engage in continued learning through professional development.

Participate in and contribute to professional societies and community services.

 

During their junior and senior years, students are encouraged to take courses and involve themselves in research projects in cross-disciplinary areas with Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, and others.

4.3.5  Technical Electives (Credit: 34 hours)

 

This course work is designed to give each student a broad background in the areas of civil engineering through the core courses and to allow each student to develop a focused program through advanced technical electives in chosen primary and secondary fields. Briefly, there are two types of civil engineering courses: (1) core courses and (2) advanced technical courses.

 

The core courses provide prerequisites for all of the advanced technical courses. The advanced technical courses are subdivided into a primary area of emphasis and a secondary area of emphasis. The core and secondary area courses assure adequate breadth in civil engineering subjects, while the primary area courses allow the student to study a certain subject in greater depth.

 

Students cannot use an advanced technical course to meet both primary and secondary requirements and each student must have 12 hours from the primary area and 6 hours from the secondary area. The sum of credit hours of core courses and technical electives must be at least 34.

 

Core Courses (Credits: 15 hours)

The courses that are required and recommended for the primary and secondary fields are listed below. Select at least 5 courses from the following list:

 

CEE 300 Behavior of Materials 4

CEE 310 Transportation Engineering 3

CEE 320 Construction Engineering 3

CEE 330 Environmental Engineering 3

CEE 340 Energy and Global Environment 3

CEE 350 Water Resources Engineering 3

CEE 360 Structural Engineering 3

CEE 380 Geotechnical Engineering 3

 

Core courses cannot be used as advanced technical courses, but additional core courses can be taken if all of the requirements for advanced technical courses are met.

 

Advanced Technical Electives

The advanced technical electives are selected to satisfy the requirements of a primary area of emphasis (i.e., a major field within civil engineering) and a secondary area of emphasis (i.e., a minor field within civil engineering). The program must have at least 12 hours in the primary field and 6 hours in the secondary field.

 

(1) Primary area of emphasis (take at least 12 hours)

 

The courses in the primary area of emphasis are chosen to be an appropriate program of study within one of the ten disciplines of civil engineering: (1) construction engineering and management, (2) construction materials engineering, (3) environmental engineering, (4) geotechnical engineering, (5) structural engineering, (6) transportation engineering, (7) water resources engineering and science, (8) energy-water-environment sustainability, (9) societal risk management, and (10) sustainable and resilient infrastructure systems.

4.4 Electrical Engineering

4.4.1 Overview

 

Electrical engineering is a multifaceted discipline that over the last century has produced an astounding progression of technological innovations that have shaped virtually every aspect of modern life. Electrical engineers need a broad and solid foundation in mathematics and physics to support their education in the engineering principles of analysis, synthesis, design, implementation, and testing of the devices and systems that provide the bedrock of modern energy, communication, sensing, computing, medical, security, and defense infrastructures. Within each sub-discipline one can find application domains that strongly rely on hands-on experimental work or that are based on theoretical, mathematical, and computational approaches. The multidisciplinary nature of  electrical engineering education addresses the growing demand for the innovation and design of sensing, communication, computing, and decision-making systems of increasing complexity in consumer, defense, and medical applications.

 

The core curriculum focuses on fundamental courses on circuits, electromagnetics, solid-state electronics, and computer systems, leading to a comprehensive array of specialized courses and laboratories in all of the important areas of modern electrical engineering. These range from power and energy systems to electronic, opto-electronic, and photonic devices; integrated circuits; telecommunications and remote sensing; control systems; robotics; signal processing; and biomedical instrumentation and sensing.

 

Students are encouraged to take courses and involve themselves in research projects in cross-disciplinary areas with Civil and Environmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, and others during their junior and senior years.

4.5 Mechanical Engineering

4.5.1 Overview

Mechanical engineering may be the most diverse of the engineering fields, embracing many sub-fields and affecting all aspects of our lives. Mechanical engineers work on new machines, products, and processes that hold the promise of better lives for all of us. They are concerned with both technological and economic aspects in the design, development, and use of their products. Today, one of the challenges is to design efficient, low-cost machines and processes that use the fewest possible natural resources to improve the lives of people throughout the world.

 

The technical portion of the Mechanical Engineering program curriculum is designed as a sequence of increasingly specialized experiences. The student’s first year is spent mastering the basics of science: math, chemistry, and physics. Building on this base, in the second year, students begin to take fundamental engineering courses such as statics, dynamics, basic circuits and electronics, thermodynamics, and strength of materials. By the third year, students are taking specialized mechanical engineering courses in the sub-fields of fluid mechanics, heat transfer, dynamic systems and controls, materials, mechanical design, and manufacturing. Finally, during the senior year, students have the opportunity to both broaden and deepen their knowledge of the field through technical elective courses. At the end of the curriculum, students take the capstone senior design course in which the knowledge and skills they have learned are applied to projects submitted to the department by industrial firms or by faculty members. Engineering design, communication, teamwork, and laboratory experiences are integrated throughout the curriculum from the first year to the last year.

 

During their junior and senior years students are encouraged to take courses and involve themselves in research projects in cross-disciplinary areas with Civil and Environmental Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, and others.

 

4.5.2 Graduation Requirement

Grade Point Average Requirement

A student must have a grade point average of at least 2.0 (A=4.0) in order to remain in good standing and to graduate.

4.6 Computer Engineering

4.6.1 Overview

Computer engineering focuses on the development of vital computing technologies, ranging from chips to computers to networks to programming tools to key algorithms for building exciting applications. Fundamentally, computer engineering addresses the problem of building scalable, trustworthy computing systems, and the faculty's interests span a broad spectrum of issues pertinent to this theme. Computer engineering has taken the lead in revolutionizing many science and engineering disciplines with parallel computing, from chips to clouds to planet-scale critical infrastructures, and has defined new standards of security, privacy, and dependability for systems ranging from small circuits to the electric power grids of many nations. Students need a broad and sound set of mathematical and computing skills, and are well-served by a flexible curriculum that enables them to pursue topics of interest among the many sub-disciplines in computing.

 

The Computer Engineering program core curriculum focuses on fundamental computer engineering knowledge: circuits, systems, electromagnetics, computer systems, electronics for information processing and communication, and computer science. The rich set of ECE elective courses permits students to concentrate on any sub-discipline of computer engineering, including: hardware systems; cyber physical systems; foundations and theory; software and languages; algorithms and mathematical tools; trust, reliability, security; networking, mobile and distributed computing; big data analytics and systems; artificial intelligence, robotics, cybernetics.

4.6.9 Curriculum Flow Map

The following flow map offers a quick summary of the main features of the Computer Engineering curriculum.

*RHET 105 is substituted by Rhet 101/102

Figure 4. The structure of the required and computer engineering core courses

 

 

 

4.7 Student Research Opportunities

 Undergraduate students at ZJUI have opportunities to work with faculty members on their research projects. Students can engage in scientific research early in their undergraduate study and prepare for their future academic career in engineering fields.

 

5. Student Exchange Year

3rd year students will spend at least 1 semester studying abroad at the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign. During this semester, students will live on campus, and take all their courses at UIUC.  This provides the students with a chance to gain an international perspective.

 

Students must be in good standing (including not being on probation or on ZJU drop warning) to be eligible for an international exchange term, and should plan to remain in good standing to maintain eligibility for the UIUC degree.

 

 

 

6. Academic Rules

6.1 General Standards of Conduct

(Adopted from the University of Illinois at Urbana - Champaign and Zhejiang University student codes)

Students are expected to abide by the Zhejiang University and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Student Codes and Honor Codes.

Responsible professional conduct and academic integrity are essential for maintaining the high quality of education and research in the institute. Faculty and graduate students must conduct themselves in a professional and collegial manner in all dealings with each other. Graduate students holding teaching assistant (T.A.) or research assistant (R.A.) appointments should work together with their supervisors to develop a plan, based on reasonable expectations of student productivity, to involve an amount of effort commensurate with the percentage time of the appointment.

 

The ZJUI faculty expects all students to maintain academic integrity at all times in the classroom and the research laboratory, and to conduct their work in accordance with the highest ethical standards of the engineering profession.

 

7.Grades and Grading System

7.1 Academic Records

The official student transcript is the cumulative record of courses taken and grades earned while enrolled at ZJUI. All courses students have taken at ZJUI will be recorded in their academic record; but only those listed in the study plan or pre-approved by the Program Advisors will count towards the required graduation credits. All courses students have taken at ZJU will be used for ZJUI GPA calculations for specific ZJUI requirements like academic standing, declaring major, enroll for graduation thesis, receiving ZJUI awards, etc.  

 

7.2 Academic Work Report Requirements

1. Faculty members have the responsibility to provide ZJUI with an individual evaluation of the work of each student in their classes. Final course grades are entered into the student’s permanent ZJUI record at the close of each semester, term, or session.
2. A dean may require semester reports from each instructor or faculty member concerning any students whose assigned grade is below C-. This does not imply any restriction on assigning such grades.

 

7.3   Grading System

1. Excellent (A+, A, A-)
2. Good (B+, B, B-)
3. Fair (C+, C, C-)
4. Poor (D+, D, D-) (lowest passing grade)
5. Failure (F) (not acceptable for degree credit), including courses dropped for academic irregularities. Absent from the final examination without an acceptable excuse is recorded as ABS (counts as a failure, not acceptable for degree credit). If a student is absent from a final examination, and it is clear that taking that examination could not have resulted in a passing grade for the course, a grade of F may be given instead of ABS.

 

7.4   Computation of Scholastic Averages

1. Numerical Values

 

Grade	Grade Points	Grade	Grade Points
A+	4.00	C+	2.33
A	4.00	C	2.00
A-	3.67	C-	1.67
B+	3.33	D+	1.33
B	3.00	D	1.00
B-	2.67	D-	0.67

 

F         Failure (including courses dropped for academic irregularities) = 0.00

ABS  Absent from final; counts as failure.

 

Grade-point averages are calculated on the basis of all courses attempted for which grades and credits are assigned and that carry credit in accordance with the courses catalog. Each grade is weighed in accordance with the number of credits awarded.  This method of calculation is used to determine honors, probationary, drop status, and scholastic awards. For the purpose of computing a grade-point average for graduation, only the grades received in those courses counting toward the degree, including grades in repeated courses, are included in the average.

 

 

7.5   Other Grade Symbols in Use

Other symbols in use, which are not included in computation of averages, are:

 

AU Audit; indicates attendance as a visitor only.

NR Not reported.

NV Not valid.

W Approved withdrawal without credit.

I or IC Incomplete. Approved extension of time to complete the final examination or other requirements of the course. Only the dean may authorize such extension of time in individual cases.

DFR or IP Deferred (or In Progress).  Used for project courses or other activities that extend beyond one term.  When all course requirements are complete, DFR or IP grades are replaced with conventional letter grades.

 

7.6 Grade Corrections

When a student’s grade has been incorrectly reported, the instructor may correct the grade with the approval of the dean. A supplemental grade report form is used to report the corrected grade; all copies of the form must be submitted to ZJUI.

 

7.7 Grade Grievance Procedure

 If students have questions about their grade after the exams (excluding the finals), they could check it with the instructor during his/her office hours in the first week after scores are released. In order to do this, special requests should be sent to the ZJUI Dean’s Office. The instructor or a TA should be present while the student looks over his/her original test paper and answer sheet. Score corrections may be made by the instructor only. All corrections should be made in red-ink pen, with the instructor’s signature and date beside it. An electronic or hard copy of the correction must be sent to the ZJUI Dean’s  Office to be kept on file.  If there is justification to question the accuracy of an assigned grade, the student should first pursue the matter with the instructor. The responsibility for the assignment of grades is primarily that of the instructor and should be settled between the student and instructor whenever possible. Further pursuit of a grade grievance should be addressed with the Deans’ Office.

 

7.8 Academic Progress

1. The progress of the student toward a degree is the concern of the dean of ZJUI.
2. A student whose progress is unsatisfactory is subject to action by the dean of ZJUI.

 

7.9 Probation and Drop Rules

1. Probation Rules

The following regulations shall be used to determine a student’s probationary status, provided drop rules do not apply:

1. 1. Beginning Freshmen

A beginning freshman who does not earn at least a 2.0 (C) average in his or her first semester is placed on a 2.0 probation for the next semester in which the student is registered.

1. 2. Students other than beginning freshmen
      1. 1. A student whose cumulative average is 2.0 or better and who does not earn at least a 2.0 average in any semester or during summer session is placed on a 2.0 probation for the next semester or summer session in which he or she is registered. This means that the student is required to earn at least a 2.0 average during the next semester.
         2. A student whose cumulative average is 1.75 to 1.99 inclusive is placed on a 2.25 probation. This means that the student is required to earn at least a 2.25 average during the next semester.
         3. A student whose cumulative average is less than 1.75 is placed on a 2.33 probation. This means that the student is required to earn at least a 2.33 average during the next semester.
         4. A student may be placed on a “probationary status” at any time when, in the judgment of ZJUI, his or her scholastic record warrants such action. Likewise, the probation rules may be waived when, in the judgment of ZJUI, a student’s scholastic record indicates that the warning provided by the probationary status is unwarranted.

(3) Removal from probation. Students on academic probation for failure to maintain the minimum grade-point average are returned to non-probationary standing upon obtaining a cumulative grade-point average of 2.0 (C = 2.0) or better.

 

2. Drop Rules

The following regulations shall be used to determine if a student is to be dropped.

1. 1. A student is dropped if he or she fails to earn at least a 1.0 (D) average in any academic semester (not including summer session).
   2. A student on probation who fails to meet his or her established probation level is dropped unless the student has achieved at least a 2.0 average or better for that semester and his or her cumulative average is at least 2.0.
   3. A student who fails to make satisfactory progress toward a degree is dropped. Examples would be the repeated failure of a required course or failure to meet other conditions for continuation in the curriculum.
   4. The drop rules may be waived for a term when, in the judgment of ZJUI, the student’s scholastic record warrants such action.

 

8.Examinations

 

8.1   Final Examinations

1. Requirement for final examinations: Final examinations will be given during the scheduled final examination period for each course, except in a course that has a character that renders a final examination unnecessary or impracticable.
2. Instructors must give final examinations at the time specified in the Schedule of Final Examinations unless a change is approved in advance by ZJUI.
3. Students must obtain the approval of the instructor and the dean to defer a final examination. Students who must miss a scheduled examination should report this fact to the dean as soon as possible and before the examination period.
4. For satisfactory reasons, students may be “excused” by the dean and examined later by their instructor. Absence from a final examination for any other cause is reported as a final grade of “absent” (ABS) in the course and counts as a failure.

 

8.2   Evening, Midterm, and Hourly Examinations

The following regulations will be adhered to regarding examinations given at times other than during regular class periods. These policies do not apply to final examinations.

 

1. The scheduling of an evening examination requires the approval of ZJUI unless the course meets regularly on the hour and day the examination is scheduled.
2. Any examination, except a final, given at other than the regular class hour, and when ZJUI is in session, will be scheduled between 7:00 and 10:00 p.m., on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. An examination may also be given on Friday evening or on Saturday morning when, in the opinion of the dean, exceptional circumstances appear to warrant it.
3. Students are to be excused from one or more regular class periods for an amount of time equivalent to that required for an evening examination.
4. Conflict or makeup examinations must be arranged for those students who cannot take a scheduled evening examination.

 

8.2.1   Special Examinations

1. ZJUI is authorized to issue a special examination permit to a current student or to a former student not currently registered who has no more than ten credit hours remaining to complete the degree.  
2. Special examinations may be given only in courses taken at ZJUI in which a failing grade (F, ABS) has been received.

 

9. Registration, Course Changes, and Withdrawal

 

9.1 Number of Hours Required

1. Twelve credit hours and above in a semester constitute a full program of study for tuition and fee assessment; in the summer term, the number of hours is six and above.
2. Study Abroad students shall be considered full-time for academic purposes at ZJUI when they are enrolled for at least the minimum full-time academic load as defined by the international institution.

 

 

9.2   Classification of Undergraduate Students

1. Classification of undergraduate students is made based upon the number of credit hours earned. Classification for registration, enrollment verification, and assessment purposes (except as indicated in subsection (b) below) is based on the following scale:

 

Freshman standing 0–38.9 hours

Sophomore standing 39–77.9 hours

Junior standing 78–116.9 hours

Senior standing 117 or more hours

 

2. Students entering ZJUI directly from high school as degree candidates with academic credit earned by advanced placement or similar programs for superior students are considered freshmen for the purpose of admission and registration, but not tuition assessment, regardless of the number of college-level credit hours they have earned at other institutions or by examination. A freshman applicant is a degree-seeking student who applies for admission while attending high school, regardless of the amount of college credit earned; or is a student enrolled in the fall term who attended college for the first time in the prior summer term; or who, since graduating from high school, has not attended another postsecondary institution as a degree-seeking undergraduate student.

 

9.3   Registration

Students who agree to enroll in ZJUI or register for courses by computer are obligated to pay tuition and fees to ZJUIntl according to ZJUIntl payment policies.

 

 

9.4   Cancellation of Registration

1. A student who has placed courses on her/his record and later decides not to attend ZJUI may cancel registration before the first day of instruction provided the student has neither attended any classes nor received any related student services.

 

2. Before the first day of instruction for a term, a student may cancel registration and be relieved of all tuition and fee charges.

 

3. Once a student has attended a class or used campus services, the student may not cancel his/her registration. If the student leaves ZJUI, the student must officially withdraw from ZJUI.

 

9.5   Repeated Undergraduate Courses and Campus Grade Replacement

1. General
   1. A student who repeats a subject for which the student has previously received credit (either by class work at ZJUI, or by advanced standing previously allowed for work done elsewhere) does not forfeit the original credit in the event the student should fail the course on the second attempt. Where a course has been repeated, both the original and subsequent grades are included in the average if the course is acceptable toward graduation, but the credit is counted only once.   The Grade Replacement process described below is an exception to the averaging computation.
   2. If the course is repeated yet again, all grades received, passed or failed, are counted in the graduation average, but the credit is only counted once.

 

2. Grade Replacement

1. Undergraduate students may officially apply to repeat courses for Grade Replacement according to the following set criteria. If these conditions are not met, the general policy above governing repeated courses applies.
   1. 1. Students may repeat for grade replacement a total of up to 4 distinct courses, not to exceed a maximum of 10 semester hours, taken at ZJUI.
      2. A course in which an academic integrity violation has been officially reported may not be repeated for Grade Replacement.
      3. A course may be repeated for Grade Replacement only once.
      4. Courses may be repeated for Grade Replacement only in those cases in which students received grades of C- or below on the first attempt.
      5. Variable credit courses must be taken for the same number of credit hours when repeated for Grade Replacement. Special topics courses must be taken for the same topic when repeated for Grade Replacement.
      6. A student who has been awarded a degree may not subsequently repeat a course from that degree program for Grade Replacement.
2. When a student repeats a course for Grade Replacement, the transcript is affected as follows:
   1. 1. 1. Both course enrollments and corresponding grades appear on the official transcript.
         2. The first course enrollment on the student’s transcript will be permanently identified as a course that has been repeated for Grade Replacement.
         3. Where a course has been repeated for Grade Replacement, the course credit earned will be counted only once toward degree and program requirements. In the event that the student should fail the course on the second attempt, the student does not forfeit the original credit.
         4. When a course has been repeated for Grade Replacement, only the grade received in the second enrollment for the course will count in the student’s grade point average. In the event that the student should fail the course on the second attempt, while having earned a passing grade in the first attempt, the general policy governing course repeats applies: all grades received, passed, or failed will be counted in the graduation average.
3. Students must register their intent to use the course repeat for Grade Replacement option by filing an application form for this purpose at the ZJUI office during the first half of the term (e.g., the first eight weeks of the semester, the first four weeks of the summer session, or the first four weeks of an eight-week course) in which the course is taken.

 

9.6   Adding and Dropping Courses

1. Except for courses described under subsection 2, a student may add a course during the first ten instructional days and may drop a course during the first eight weeks of instruction in a semester. The exact dates will be listed on the campus Academic Calendars.  

 

2. However, some instructors may limit adds for specific courses before the deadline, where missing early class sessions would severely impair the student’s chances for successfully completing the course. The instructor should announce this restriction in class or include it in the course syllabus. Where this restriction is known in advance, it should be included in the course description.

 

3. When students are allowed to add a class within the designated Add period, the instructor must reasonably accommodate them in making up work they have missed. For admission to a class after the designated Add period, a student must secure the consent of the instructor and the ZJUI dean’s office. The instructor may require the student to pass an examination on work already covered in the class or to present other satisfactory evidence of ability to proceed with the class.

 

4. The following rules apply only to the undergraduate programs.
   1. New courses may be added only during the first ten instructional days of a semester or the first five instructional days of a course conducted during an eight-week part of term.
   2. Courses, except required courses, may be dropped without academic penalty, provided that the minimum academic load required by ZJUI is maintained, during the first eight weeks of a semester or the first four weeks of a course conducted during an eight-week part of term.
   3. The times for adding and dropping courses are determined in accordance with the above principles based on parts of term; the exact dates are to be listed on official Academic Calendars.
   4. A grade of W or F will be assigned to a course dropped after these deadline dates, based on the evaluation of the circumstances by ZJUI dean’s office.
   5. In case of extenuating circumstances (such as illness, injury, or unusual financial pressure), a student may be permitted to drop a course without academic penalty and regardless of time if, in the judgment of the dean, such action is warranted.

 

5. Change of section within a course is permitted at the discretion of ZJUI dean’s office.

 

9.7   Dropping Courses for Academic Deficiency

1. A student requesting to drop a course, after the drop deadline, in which he or she has become seriously deficient may be required by ZJUI dean’s office to accept the grade of F for the course.

 

2. The ZJUI dean’s office may drop a student for academic deficiency using the student registration system. In such cases, a grade of F for the course will be recorded.

 

 

9.8 Withdrawal or Suspension of Studies.

1. A student who leaves ZJUI during any term must officially withdraw from ZJUI whether or not the student intends to return for a later term. A student who is registered in only one course and later requests to drop that course must withdraw from ZJUI. Failing grades will be assigned to any student who leaves ZJUI without completing withdrawal.
2. Withdrawal procedures:
   1. Obtain a withdrawal form from the ZJUI website. The date the student notifies the ZJUI office of his/her intent to withdraw should be recorded as the official withdrawal date.
   2. Obtain the signatures of Academic Affairs officers as indicated on the withdrawal form.
   3. Deposit the withdrawal form at the ZJUI Dean’s office.
3. Cancellation or withdrawal from ZJUI does not abrogate the authority of ZJUI to pursue disciplinary action.
4. The student ID card remains valid for any term in which fees for services have been paid.
5. The dean may issue a withdrawal form with a notation that failing grades are to be recorded in specified courses in which the student is seriously deficient.

A student may be dropped or placed on probation for poor scholarship as of the date of the withdrawal at the discretion of the dean.

 

10. Student Records - Guidelines and Regulations Governing Access and Release

 

10.1   Access to Student’s Personally Identifiable Education Records

   3. If applicable laws and regulations do not prohibit parent access.

 

3. By Others:
   1. Information from a student’s education record may be disclosed to others with the prior written consent of the student, specifying the records to be disclosed, the purpose of the disclosure, and to whom the disclosure is made, with a copy of the information disclosed provided to the student if requested;
   2. Otherwise, personally identifiable education records of students may be disclosed without the student’s written consent only to the following persons, subject to certain conditions:
      1. to officials of ZJUI, ZJU, and UIUC, including faculty who have legitimate educational interests;
      2. to officials of other schools or school systems in which the student seeks or intends to enroll or where the student has already enrolled so long as the disclosure is for the purposes related to the student’s enrollment or transfer, upon condition that the student is notified of the disclosure, receives a copy of the record if desired, and has an opportunity for a hearing to challenge the content of the record;
      3. to duly authorized representatives of the government;
      4. in connection with the student’s application for, or receipt of, financial aid;
      5. to organizations conducting studies for, or on behalf of ZJUI, ZJU, or UIUC under a written agreement for the purpose of developing, validating, or administering predictive tests, administering student aid programs, and improving instruction, if such studies are conducted in such a manner as will not permit the personal identification of students and their parents by persons other than representatives of such organizations and such information will be destroyed when no longer required for the purpose for which it is conducted;
      6. to accrediting organizations in order to carry out their accrediting functions;
      7. to the victim of an alleged perpetrator of a crime or sex offense, the final results of a disciplinary proceeding;
      8. to the apparent record originator in order to verify authenticity of a record.
   3. Records may be disclosed, with or without the student’s consent, to a third party only on the condition that the recipient will not permit others to have access to the personal information without the written consent of the student. With the exception of ZJUI, ZJU, and UIUC officials, persons desiring access to a student’s record must sign a written form, available for inspection by the student and the official responsible for the record maintenance, indicating specifically the legitimate educational or other interest for which the information is sought.
   4. Custodians of records and other record-maintenance personnel shall have access to student records while performing their assigned record-keeping functions, without the necessity of executing access forms.
   5. In the interests of public safety, the name, code violations, and sanction of a student found to be in violation of those provisions applying to criminal offenses and sex offenses may be released to the public.

 

10.2   Regulations for Record Custodians

1. Directory Information Suppression and Default display:
   1. Prior to the sixth day of instruction for a specific term, students have the right to request that directory information be kept confidential. Requests will be in force until the student notifies the ZJUI dean’s office in writing that the information is no longer to be restricted. On the sixth day of instruction, all directory information that has not been restricted by the student may be released without the student’s prior consent.
   2. The default public online display for unsuppressed directory information will be the student’s surname and given name and email address.  Students may choose to include additional information for general public online display.  

 

2. Request to Review Record. A student’s request to see his or her education record must be granted within a reasonable period of time, but in no case more than forty-five days after the request for access has been made.  Records that are not accessible to students for review are:
   1. Financial records of parents,
   2. Sole possession records (personal memory aids that are not accessible or revealed to others except to a temporary substitute for the maker of the record),
   3. Law enforcement records,
   4. Medical, psychiatric or similar records made, maintained or used by a physician, psychiatrist, psychologist, or other recognized professional or paraprofessional acting in such capacity and in connection with the treatment of the student,
   5. Alumni records created or received after an individual is no longer a student in attendance that are not directly related to the individual’s attendance or academic progress as a student,
   6. Grades on peer graded assignments until they are collected and recorded by an instructor, and
   7. Any other records exempted from review under the law.

 

3. Reproductions. Students have the right to reproductions of their education records if failure to provide copies would effectively prevent students from exercising the right to inspect and review their education records. A reasonable charge per page may be made for this service.
4. Corrections. Every reasonable effort should be made to verify or correct any information in the student education record that is misleading, inaccurate, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy or other rights. The process for students to challenge content is given below.
5. Recordkeeping. A written record of access requests that have been processed must be maintained for as long as the education record requested is maintained.

 

 

10.3   Procedures for Student Access and Challenge

1. Gaining access to the record:
   1. Go to the Academic Affairs Office for help in locating record(s);
   2. Make written request to the custodian(s) of the record(s);
   3. Examine record(s).

 

2. Challenging the contents:
   1. If a student’s challenge cannot be satisfied by the record custodian, the student may appeal to the following, or his or her designee: {tutor, dean, director of the Academic Affairs office.}
   2. If no resolution can be effected, the matter will be referred to a ZJUI hearing panel.

 

10.4 ZJUI Hearing Panel

1. General principles:
   1. Request for a hearing related to a record must be specific to that record, be submitted in writing, and include an explanation or justification of the request for a hearing.
   2. Once a hearing has been held by a duly constituted board or committee, no additional hearing on the content of a record will be allowed. The existing hearing processes (capricious grading, student discipline) already provide for an opportunity to add to, correct, or otherwise modify sources for a record.
   3. After consultation with appropriate student and faculty groups, ZJUI will appoint a hearing panel.

 

2. Hearing panels shall operate in accordance with the following guidelines:
   1. Hearings will not be open to the public.
   2. Neither party, nor representatives thereof, shall serve on the panel.
   3. Decisions of the hearing panel will be by majority vote.
   4. Results of the hearing will be communicated in writing to the student and the custodian of the record in question.

 

10.5   Disposal of Inactive Records

With the exception of placement office files, the permanent ledger file, graduation and degree award lists, and computer-based records useful for research purposes, all student records shall be reviewed within five years of the last academic term in which they were considered active files. At the time of this review, files should be cleared of all correspondence, interview notations, and other items of short-term significance. All records other than placement files and the permanent ledger file shall be destroyed on or before the tenth anniversary of their withdrawal from active status. Records are destroyed subject to approval and procedures of the applicable archivist. In any case, records other than confirmations of graduation, degree awards and transcripts will be inaccessible for normal use.

 

10.6   Release of Student Information and Academic Records

1. To Agencies or Persons outside ZJU or UIUC.

The following policies and procedures govern the release of student information to persons outside ZJU or UIUC.

1. 1. ZJUI may release information concerning current or former students that appears in directories and publications available to the public without the student’s consent except when requested by the student to hold such information confidential. For currently enrolled students, this information includes the student’s name; addresses; telephone numbers; curriculum, and major field of study; class level; date of birth; dates of attendance and full- or part-time status; eligibility for membership in registered honoraries; degrees, honors, and certificates received or anticipated; for students appointed as fellows, assistants, graduate, or undergraduate hourly employees, the title, appointing unit, appointment dates, duties, and percent time of appointment; weight and height if the student is an athletic team member; participation in officially recognized sports; and institutions previously attended. For former students, this information may include the student’s name; date of birth; last known addresses and telephone numbers; curriculum, and major field of study; dates of attendance and full- or part-time status; class level; honors, certificates, or degrees earned at the University and the date(s) conferred; weight and height if the student was an athletic team member; participation in officially recognized activities and sports; and institutions previously attended.
   2. Transcripts are released only by written request to whomever a student or former student designates.
   3. Upon written authorization of the student concerned, individuals may view a student’s records or may have the information sent to them. A document, signed by the student, listing ZJUI as a reference, is considered written authorization.
   4. The custodian of the records may release student academic information to organizations conducting studies for, or on behalf of, educational agencies or institutions for the purpose of developing, validating, or administering predictive tests, administering student aid programs, and improving instruction. Such studies must be conducted in such a manner as will not permit the personal identification of students and their parents by persons other than those conducting the study, and such information must be destroyed when no longer needed for the stated purpose.
   5. The custodian of records may release student academic information in the support of financial assistance without the student’s written consent, provided that relevant provisions of Section 1 are met.

 

2. To Agencies or Persons within the ZJU or UIUC.

All requests from individuals, units, and/or groups of units for data based on confidential records of students, must first be cleared through the ZJUI deans’ office.

 

3. Grade Reports

Respective reports of final grades for each semester and summer session are furnished to each student.

 

4. Credentials Presented from Other Sources

All academic credentials presented to ZJUI become the property of ZJUI and are not subsequently released to the student or to another individual or institution.

 

11. Transcripts

11.1   Availability

1. Students who have paid their tuition fees and charges are entitled to receive, upon written request, a transcript of their academic records. Upon graduation, students with outstanding loans or financial obligations will not be issued a transcript until they have completed an exit interview with the Office of Student Affairs. Transcripts that are provided directly to students are marked “Issued to Student in Sealed Envelope” to distinguish them from transcripts that are sent by the Office of Academic Affairs to other recipients. Each transcript routinely includes a student’s entire academic record to date and current academic status. Incomplete transcripts are not issued. Upon request, separate transcripts shall be issued that include only the academic record for undergraduate programs. Any separate transcript shall be appropriately labeled “partial transcript.”

 

 

2. Transcripts are normally produced and distributed within two working days of the receipt of a written request. A student requesting a transcript near the end of a term must specify that the transcript not be released prior to the posting of final grades for that term. Final grade posting normally occurs approximately thirty days after the end of the final examination period.

 

11.2   Information Appearing on All Transcripts

1. Student’s name

 

2. University identification number

 

3. Level (undergraduate, graduate, etc.)

 

4. Birth date (month and day only)

 

5. Degree(s) and the date(s) graduated from ZJUI

 

6. Honors recognition

 

7. Institutional courses, grades, hours of credit, and grade-point average, listed by semester

 

8. When a student changes his or her major and/or curriculum of enrollment, the new major and/or curriculum is recorded on the student’s record in the semester in which the change is effective.

 

9. When a student withdraws during a term, the withdrawal date is recorded on his or her record at the end of the term.

 

11.3   Other Symbols Appearing on Transcripts

The grading system itself was described above. The following symbols provide additional information

 

* Immediately following the letter grade indicates grade does not count toward the student’s GPA or earned hours.

 

H Immediately following the letter grade indicates that the student has received honors credit for the course because: the course/section was certified as an honors course/section. Appropriate grades using the H designation include A+H, AH, A-H, B+H, BH and B-H.  Honors are not awarded for lower grades.

 

R Signifies a repeated course that is included in the GPA calculation. Course is excluded from the term, overall, and earned hours.

 

X Repeated course that is excluded from the GPA but included in attempted hours only.

11.4   Description and Definition of Information Appearing on Transcripts

1. Student Status

Student status is determined on the basis of a student’s academic performance and conduct. Unless otherwise indicated by the notation of “drop” status, the student is eligible to enroll either without condition or on a probationary basis.

 

2. Credit

Undergraduate credit is recorded in semester hours. Each semester hour represents one fifty-minute period of class-room work each week for the duration of one semester of sixteen weeks (two periods of classroom work per week during an eight-week part of term), or single weekly sessions in laboratory, field work, or approved independent study.

 

3. Transfer Credit
   1. Undergraduate credit earned at another accredited university or college and accepted by ZJUI is recorded in semester hours. Grades earned are not indicated or included in grade-point computations.
   2. A limited amount of credit earned outside of ZJUI, ZJU, or UIUC, such as credit earned during study abroad exchange programs, can be submitted to the ZJUI dean’s office for the purpose of fulfilling degree requirements.  These requests will be evaluated and, if accepted, recorded on the student’s permanent record. The official transcript must be sent directly from the institution attended and accompanied by a letter from the student requesting that the credit be added to his or her record for degree purposes.  The dean’s office evaluates requests based on whether or not course materials and results are consistent with a student’s curriculum and academic level, also avoiding duplication.

 

4. Course Numbering System
   1. Courses numbered 000099 do not carry academic credit but do count for tuition and load. In general, 0xxlevel courses are for preparatory work that does not count toward a degree.
   2. Courses numbered 100199 are intended primarily for freshmen and correspond to entry-level work. They may be taken by sophomores, juniors, and seniors, although enrollment restrictions may be established for students other than freshmen. In certain instances, they may be taken by graduate students to make up undergraduate deficiencies, but they may not be taken for graduate credit.
   3. Courses numbered 200299 are intended for lower division students who satisfy the published prerequisite(s), if any. In certain instances, they may be taken by graduate students to make up undergraduate deficiencies, but they may not be taken for graduate credit.
   4. Courses numbered 300399 are intended primarily for juniors and seniors who satisfy published prerequisite(s), if any. In certain instances, they may be taken by graduate students to make up undergraduate deficiencies, but they may not be taken for graduate credit.
   5. Courses numbered 400499 are available for credit for upper division undergraduate students and typically for graduate students unless otherwise indicated.
   6. Courses numbered 500599 are intended for graduate students. Certain seniors, with approval, may enroll for credit.

 

 

12. Graduation

 

12.1   Credit Requirements for Degrees

1. UIUC Bachelor’s Degree
   1. In addition to specific course and scholastic average requirements, each candidate must earn at least 60 semester hours of UIUC approved credit, of which at least 21 hours must be 300 or 400 level courses.
   2. Only those courses that are applicable toward the degree sought may be counted in satisfying the above minimum requirements.
2. ZJU Bachelor’s Degree
   1. Each candidate must earn at least 156 semester hours from ZJU approved curricula.
   2. This includes the 128 semester hours for UIUC approved curricula and another 28 semester hours for ZJU general education curricula.

 

 

12.2   Minimum Scholarship Requirements for the Bachelor’s Degree

1. All candidates for a degree must have at least a 2.0 (C) average on all ZJUI credits counted for graduation requirements and at least a 2.0 average on the combined transfer and ZJUI credits counted for graduation requirements. (Grades in courses taken at the other campuses of either ZJU or UI are counted as transferred.)

 

2. Except as noted in Section 3.5, where a course has been repeated, both the original and subsequent grades are included in the average if the course is acceptable toward graduation, but the credit is counted only once. An original failing grade is not removed from the student’s record for a course subsequently passed by special examination.

 

12.3   English Requirement for Graduation

To earn their UIUC degrees, ZJUI students must demonstrate proficiency in English.  To document this, students must take either the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) and achieve an overall score of at least 100, or the IELTS (International English Testing System) with an overall score of at least 7.5 and module scores of at least 7.0.  Details may be found at  http://admissions.illinois.edu/policies.

 

12.4   Credit for Undergraduate Open Seminar Courses

1. Credit in each 199 course shall not be more than five credit hours per semester and may vary from student to student.

 

2. A student may accumulate an unlimited number of credit hours in 199 courses, but no more than twelve such hours listed on the student’s transcript may be counted toward fulfilling graduation requirements.

 

12.5 Undergraduate Research Assistant

Participating as an undergraduate research assistant with a professor or graduate student can be a very rewarding educational experience. It allows students to explore topics in which they are interested to greater depth than is possible in a classroom setting and can lead to an interest in graduate school. UG Research Assistants typically dedicate 5-15 hours per week on their research activities.
