Students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the information presented in this catalog and for  observing all policies and procedures related to their participation in the university community.  In addition,  AUC has adopted a set of policies and procedures concerning the statutes and regulations on the campus. Copies of these policies and procedures may be obtained at the Office of the University Registrar.

Regulations will not be waived nor exceptions granted based on a student's lack of awareness of the policies and procedures of the American University in Cairo.  Although a number of university personnel (e.g. advisors, faculty members, registrar, departmental staff, and student affairs staff members) assist students, the student is personally responsible for following all policies and meeting deadlines and requirements. This responsibility includes, but is not limited to, academic requirements and the rules listed under the appropriate information sections of this catalog.
