University Policies:
All students are responsible for the knowledge of and compliance with all university policies as
stated in the university catalog, graduate bulletin, and student handbook including but not limited
to grade appeal, computer use, copyright laws, and academic honesty and integrity.

Attendance: Attendance is mandatory for every exercise of a course in which a student is

enrolled. For students eligible for financial assistance, documented attendance is necessary
before the initial disbursement of funds to their student accounts. Documented attendance in
online classes will be determined by the completion of weekly class assignments. Students
failing to complete any required assignments in an online class during a given week may be
counted as absent for that week. Absence from class prevents a student from receiving the full
benefit of the course, and often detracts from the learning process for other students in the class.
Unless an absence is unavoidable, an absence may result in lower grades due to missed
examinations, assignments, exercises, and the failure to enter into the classroom learning
process. Unavoidable absences that qualify as excused absences, such as debilitating

KHSC 333 MASTER SYLLABUS 2

illness/injury, university-sanctioned events, and personal emergencies, are defined in the

university catalog.

In the case of an unavoidable (excused) absence, a student may make up missed examinations
and assignments. It is the student’s responsibility to make arrangements with the instructor to
complete missed work in a timely fashion. Students are responsible for turning work in on time,
even if the student has an excused absence. Assignments turned in after two class periods may
not receive credit. In all other cases of absence, instructors are not required to allow students to
make up the missed work. Instructors may establish additional guidelines for their courses as
long as they are in accordance with division and official university attendance policies. After
two weeks of absences, students who incur any unexcused absences may have their final grades
lowered commensurately, which may include failure of the course. If students believe they have
received a course grade that is not reflective of the quality of their work, or their class
attendance, they should refer to the MBU Grade Appeal Policy in the MBU Undergraduate
Catalog or the MBU Graduate Bulletin.

Diversity: Missouri Baptist University is committed to maintaining a community that recognizes

and values the inherent worth and dignity of every person. Missouri Baptist University affirms
that an important part of the integration of faith and learning is the recognition that all people
are created in the image of God and worthy of respect and dignity. We seek to ensure that all
students have full access to the educational, social, and spiritual growth opportunities that the
University provides to ensure that students understand and appreciate one of the University’s
core values which is “social change through service and leadership.”

Through its curricula and classroom experiences, the university seeks to develop and nurture
diversity because it strengthens the organization, promotes creative problem solving, and
enriches us all.

The goal is to present materials and activities that are respectful of diverse groups
including, but not limited to, race, gender, color, national or ethnic origin, age, qualified
disability, military service, learning differences, or socioeconomic status.

Special Needs Access: Missouri Baptist University, in accordance with the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990, will provide reasonable accommodations for eligible students with
disabilities (e.g. attention, health, hearing, learning, mobility, physical, psychiatric, or vision). If
you have a disability that may have some impact on your work in this class and for which you
may require accommodations, please inform me immediately so that your learning needs may be
appropriately met. Students with a disability must register with the Special Needs Access Office
for disability verification and for determination of reasonable academic accommodations. You
are responsible for initiating arrangements for accommodations for tests and other assignments in
collaboration with the Special Needs Access Office and the faculty.

The Special Needs Access Office is located on the main campus in Field Academic Hall – Room
117. Special Needs Access Coordinator, can be reached at 314-681-3278.

Student Use of Email: In accordance with Missouri Baptist University (MBU) policy, every
student is required to have and to maintain an official MBU e-mail address. Some students may
elect to forward their e-mail to an address different from their official MBU email account. Any
student who elects to forward MBU e-mail to a different e-mail address assumes full
responsibility for reading e-mail at the forwarded location. Students are expected to check their
University e-mail account, or the account to which their University e-mail is forwarded, at least
twice a week.

Credit Hour Policy:

Missouri Baptist University requires this policy to be practiced by all faculty, full-time and
part-time. All definitions and standards apply equally to courses offered both on and off
campus.
The federally-approved regulation for a credit hour has been defined in two ways:
§ 600.2(1): The credit hour value of a standard or more traditional course must be
calculated as follows: A clock hour of instructional time is the equivalent
of (a) 50 minutes of class time or (b) 60 minutes of independent-study
work or some measures of clinical time; and (2) a minimum of two hours
of out-of- class work is expected for every hour (50 minutes) of
instructional time.

§ 600.2(2): If the credit hour value for an academic activity (including but not limited
to “laboratory work, internships, practica, and studio work”) cannot be
calculated using the information cited in § 600.2(1) (above), that academic
activity can be found to have met the federal definition by documenting that
it involves “at least an equivalent amount of work” as the criteria cited in §
600.2(1).

For example 1 credit hour equals 45 clock hours, 2 credit hours equal 90 clock hours,
3 credit hours equal 135 clock hours, 4 credit hours equals 180 clock hours.

MBU Policy Concerning Clery Act and Title IX

Missouri Baptist University (“Missouri Baptist” or “the University”) does not
discriminate on the basis of sex in its educational programs and sexual harassment and
sexual violence are types of sex discrimination. Other acts can also be forms of sex-based
discrimination and are also prohibited whether sexually based or not and include dating
violence, domestic violence, and stalking. As a result, the University issues this statement
of policy to inform the community of our comprehensive plan addressing sexual
misconduct, educational programs, and procedures that address sexual assault, domestic
violence, dating violence, and stalking, whether the incident occurs on or off campus and
when it is reported to a University official. In this context, the University prohibits the
offenses of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking and reaffirms
its commitment to maintain a campus environment emphasizing the dignity and worth of
all members of the university community. Details of this policy can be found at
