Class
Policies:
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. A student may petition the Academic Council for exceptions to the above
stated policies by filing a written request for an appeal to the
provost/academic vice president (
Academic Honesty: Disciplinary action for academic misconduct is the responsibility of
the faculty member assigned to this course.
The faculty member is charged with assessing the gravity of any case of
academic dishonesty, and with giving sanctions to any student involved.
University policy: No otherwise qualified disabled person shall
be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to
discrimination under any educational program or activity in the
University. Students should inform the
instructor of existing disabilities at the first class meeting.
