Course Policies Students are expected to adhere to the academic policies on attendance and on student conduct and discipline
based on the University Student Handbook.

Cell Phones
Receiving or sending cell phone calls or text messages in classrooms, computer labs, or library is inappropriate
and impolite. Except in emergency cases and with the instructor’s permission.

Class Attendance & Participation

Regular attendance, as specified by the instructor, is expected of all students. Extended absence/non-
participation (due to illness or injury) should be reported to your instructor (and/or to the University Clinic)
immediately. A student who has incurred three (3) consecutive unexcused absences or 20% accumulated
absences shall be automatically dropped from the subject. Arrival fifteen (15) minutes after a 3-hour class or
thirty (30) minutes after a 5-hour class has commenced is considered tardiness and three (3) tardiness are
equivalent to one-day absence. Students should make good use of their time if the faculty member does not
come within 30 minutes. They shall stay in the classroom or library and observe proper decorum.

Classroom Behavior & Civility

The student requires appropriate behavior and respect for others. Instructors can set classroom rules of
conduct, require adherence to standards of civility appropriate to learning, and have the right to remove anyone
for disruption or obstruction of those standards, or for violation of any law or existing University policies.
Plagiarism & Cheating
Cheating is obtaining or intentionally giving unauthorized information to create an unfair advantage in an
examination, assignment, or classroom situation. Plagiarism is the act of presenting and claiming words, ideas,
data, programming code or creations of others as one's own. Plagiarism may be intentional - as in a false claim
of authorship - or unintentional - as in a failure to document information sources using APA (American
Psychological Association) or other style sheets or manuals adopted by instructors at the University. Presenting
ideas in the exact or near exact wording as found in source material constitutes plagiarism, as does patching
together paraphrased statements without in-text citation. Disciplinary action may include a failing grade on an
assignment or test, a failing grade for the course, suspension or expulsion from the college, as described in the
existing University policies.
Smoking
All buildings are designated smoke-free.
Consultation Period Once a week depending on the availability of the professors handling the subject.
