They say every myth has a nugget of truth. Some widely circulated myths were taken to school officials who would know so students can finally stop speculating on if they are true:
Q: Is there a limit on how late a teacher can arrive before students are allowed to leave? Myth
A: “There is no limit. I’ve always heard it’s like ten minutes – and it varied by rank – there’s no such policy,” said Eric Pani, VP of student affairs.
Q: Is it true that if I have three tests on one day you can get one moved?
A: Partially true. “For final exams. As far as I know. And then you have to get Dean’s approval to do that,” said Pani.
Q: If I get hit by a car on a crosswalk, will I get free tuition?
A: Myth, according Bill Graves, Chief Business Officer for ULM and Lisa Miller, Asst VP for Enrollment Mangement.
