Florida International University is a community dedicated to generating and imparting knowledge through excellent teaching and research, the rigorous and respectful exchange of ideas, and community service. All students should respect the right of others to have an equitable opportunity to learn and honestly demonstrate the quality of their learning. Therefore, all students are expected to adhere to a standard of academic conduct, which demonstrates respect for themselves, their fellow students, and the educational mission of the University. All students are deemed by the University to understand that if they are found responsible for academic misconduct, they will be subject to the Academic Misconduct procedures and sanctions, as outlined in the Student Handbook.

There are many students who come to the Advising Center because they thought they were in and attended classes for which they were NOT registered or conversely stopped attending courses for which they were registered but thought they had successful dropped. In the first case they lose the credits for work completed; in the second case they received F0s and are held fee liable for courses they thought no longer concerned them. Both of these misfortunes could be avoided if student would merely review and print their class schedules to make certain the estimation of their current enrollment matches reality.

The mathematic department has a (free) tutoring program in GL 120, please contact the department for the schedule. No appointment is needed for the tutoring program.

PS: In an effort to help you succeed in your academic courses, FIU utilizes an Early Alert system. Instructors are now able to notify students' academic advisors if there are concerns about class performance. If an alert is submitted, your academic advisor will send you a message via your Student Dashboard (accessed via your MYFIU page) to discuss ways to improve your performance. Please respond to any communication you receive from your academic advisor about an early alert. Our goal with this program is to help you to be successful by identifying any issues as early on as possible and working to address them
