Academic Dishonesty
Students are expected to adhere to the University's Code of Conduct (https://studentconduct.unl.edu/student-code-conduct).
Grade Appeals
In the event of a dispute involving NRES course grades or course grades in other courses taught by faculty in the School of Natural Resources (e.g., SOIL, SOCI, GEOG etc.) , the student must first appeal to the instructor and, failing resolution with the instructor, a grade appeal will be submitted to the SNR Undergraduate Committee (undergraduate level course) or SNR Graduate Committee (graduate level course), and then to the SNR Director in writing (in that order). If a satisfactory solution is not achieved at the School level, the student may appeal their case through the appropriate College Grade Appeals Committee using that body's process.
If a grade is appealed to the appropriate SNR Committee, the instructor must provide a written justification for the awarding of the grade. The student shall provide an account of the grounds for the grade appeal and evidence that the student has sought to resolve the case in consultation with the instructor.
Students appealing a course grade must do so within one semester (Fall or Spring) following the grade. At any point in the process, the student may seek guidance on the process with the SNR director or SNR associate director for undergraduate education or SNR associate director for research.
Policy or Policy Decision Appeals
A student wishing to appeal an SNR policy or policy decision (course-related or other) must first discuss the policy or decision in question with an academic adviser. If a satisfactory solution is not achieved with the adviser, the student may request a decision from the SNR Undergraduate Committee (undergraduate student) or Graduate Committee (graduate student) and then the SNR Director (in that order). If a satisfactory solution is not achieved at the School level, the student may appeal their case through the appropriate College Dean's Office, using that body's appeal process.
Students appealing a policy decision must do so within one semester (Fall or Spring) following the decision. At any point in the process, the student may seek guidance on the process with the SNR director or SNR associate director for undergraduate education or SNR associated director for research.

Additional Purchase (optional)
Because of the change of less printed books to more online books and information, having a second monitor is recommended. This allows one monitor to have an assignment open and the second monitor to have the reading material displayed.
