requires regular class attendance. Attending all classes supports full academic
development of each learner whether classes are taught with the instructor physically
present or via distance learning technologies such as interactive video. Excessive
absenteeism, whether excused or unexcused, may result in a student’s course grade
being reduced or in assignment of a grade of “F”. Absences are accumulated
beginning with the first day of class during regular semesters and summer terms.
Each faculty member will include the University’s attendance policy in each course
syllabus. For every two absences grades shall be lowered one grade.
You are expected to practice academic honesty in every aspect of this course and all
other courses. Make sure you are familiar with your Student Handbook, especially
the second on academic misconduct,. Students who engage in academic misconduct
are subject to university disciplinary procedures.
The university respects the rights of instructors to teach and students to learn.
Maintenance of these rights requires conditions that do not impede their exercise.
Campus behavior that interferes with either (1) the instructor’s ability to conduct the
class, (2) the inability of other students to profit from the instructional program, or
(3) campus behavior that interferes with the rights of others will not be tolerated. An
individual engaging in such disruptive behavior may be subject to disciplinary action.
Such incidents will be adjudicated by the Dean of Students under nonacademic
procedures.
