- The Honors Program
The University of Tampa offers a university‐wide honors program for academically gifted students. The program is the responsibility of the director of the Honors Program, who reports to the provost. Faculty are encouraged to submit proposals for the rotating series of honors classes (funding for development and enrichment of classes is provided), to direct academically promising students to the program, and to participate in the outreach to the entire University community and to local high schools and teachers that occurs through the Honors Program’s continuing series of lectures and films.
- Graduate Studies Program
The University of Tampa offers graduate degree programs in all four of its colleges. The assistant vice president and director of graduate and continuing studies coordinates these programs in conjunction with college deans and program directors.
- Continuing Studies
The University of Tampa offers many courses and programs to adult and non‐traditional students. The office of Graduate and Continuing Studies coordinates these academic programs, including Evening College offerings, summer sessions, and non-credit and professional development programs in which non-matriculated students are eligible to enroll. The assistant vice president and director for graduate and continuing studies oversees academic programs and student services for continuing studies.
- The Macdonald-Kelce Library
The library houses approximately 300,000 volumes, thousands of journals, audio‐visual materials, microfilms, U.S. and State government documents and other materials. There are also thousands of full‐text journals and other electronic materials available remotely. Reference, inter‐library loan assistance and other professional services are provided.
Facilities include individual study carrels, study rooms, an audiovisual area with listening booths, self‐service photocopying machines, micro-film readers and reader printers, and computers.
The University of Tampa Macdonald‐Kelce Library is a member of a local consortium of libraries whose collections increase the resources available to faculty members and students. Faculty members have the privilege of directly borrowing up to five books from the University of South Florida Library.
- The Office of the Registrar
The Office of the Registrar is responsible for the enrollment of students in classes and for the maintenance and security of their academic records in accordance with university policies. In addition, the office performs final degree audits and evaluates and determines the acceptability of transfer credit, also in accordance with policy and with the advice of the faculty. The office issues transcripts of student academic records, provides information to faculty concerning individual student performance and progress, and certifies student progress to employers, lending institutions, and other external agencies. The office archives and provides reports of enrollment data in many forms for both external and internal use. Staff in the Office of the Registrar coordinate the annual revision of the University calendar and catalog, train the campus community on online academic services, and maintain the online degree audit system.
- The Military Science Department and Reserve Officer Training Corps
The Military Science program, which operates under the control of its department faculty and under the supervision of the associate provost and dean of academic services, is intended primarily for students who enroll in the Reserve Officer Training Corps. Its credit‐bearing courses are; however, open to all duly registered students.
- The Council on Inter-College Programs
Each inter-college, multi-disciplinary undergraduate program not housed in a specific department will form a committee consisting of one faculty member from each department that contributes to the program. Each committee will annually choose a coordinator; all the coordinators will comprise the Council on Inter-College Programs (CIP), which shall be organized under the Associate Dean of Teaching and Learning. For the purposes of curricular guidance and initiatives that must flow through the university curriculum committee process, the committee coordinators shall function as departmental chairs, and the Associate Dean as College Dean. Course initiatives that are housed in specific departments must still follow existing curricular committee processes for approval through their host colleges, but must also be approved by the respective inter-college program committee and signed off by the committee coordinator and Associate Dean of Teaching and Learning.
