Attendance: Students
enrolled at one of the University’s external campuses should make every effort
to attend all class meetings. All absences must be explained to the
instructor, who will then determine whether the omitted work may be made
up. When a student reaches that number of absences considered by the
instructor to be excessive, the instructor will so advise the student and file
an unsatisfactory progress report with the campus dean. Any student who
misses 25 percent or more of the regularly scheduled class meetings may receive
a grade of F in the course. Additional attendance policies for each
course, as defined by the instructor in the course syllabus, are considered a
part of the University’s attendance policy.
Additional attendance policies: Three tardy occurrences will be counted as one
absence.

Act of 1990 (ADA), it is the policy of Wayland Baptist University that no

The
University has a standard grade scale:
A =
90-100, B = 80-89, C = 70-79, D = 60-69, F= below 60, W = Withdrawal, WP =
withdrew passing, WF = withdrew failing, I = incomplete. An incomplete may be
given within the last two weeks of a long term or within the last two days of a
microterm to a student who is passing, but has not completed a term paper,
examination, or other required work for reasons beyond the student’s control. A
grade of “incomplete” is changed if the work required is completed prior to the
last day of the next long (10 to 15 weeks) term, unless the instructor
designates an earlier date for completion. If the work is not completed
by the appropriate date, the I is converted to an F.
Instructor’s policy on Academic Dishonesty: The
commission of plagiarism or cheating on any test will result in the student
receiving a grade of “F” in the course.
