Registration or attendance at classes signifies an agreement by a student to comply with all the rules and regulations of JTS, whenever promulgated. It is the student’s responsibility to become aware of the contents of each new academic bulletin and to be thoroughly familiar with program and departmental requirements, including amendments to those requirements, as well as with the general policies of JTS. Ignorance of the rules will not be accepted as an excuse for failing to act in accordance with them.
