Description

Attendance policies:

Attendance University policy is that students are to attend all

classes and to arrive on time. Verified emergencies may

require an absence or delay, but habitual tardiness or absence

affects your learning and disrupts the class. Your presence is

important since student contributions are a significant part of

classroom activity and absence deprives others of your

contributions. Students are not allowed to miss more than

15% of the classes during the semester. Failing to meet this

requirement will be dealt with according to the university

disciplinary rules.

Absences from exams and handing in assignments on time:

Exams. Any absence from an exam that is not excused, will

result in a grade of ZERO. For an absence to be excused, the

student must provide an appropriate documentation and give

advance notification.

Assignments’ University policy is, that assignments are due

on the date assigned. Instructors may refuse to accept late

assignments or lower the grade that would be otherwise

given.

Health and safety procedures:

N/A

Honesty policy regarding cheating, plagiarism, misbehavior:

The Honor Code is an integral part of university life.

Students are responsible, therefore, for understanding the

code’s provisions. Cheating and attempted cheating,

plagiarism, lying, and stealing of academic work and related

materials constitute Honor Code violations. In the spirit of

the code, a student’s word is a declaration of good faith

acceptable as truth in all academic matters. To maintain an

academic community according to these standards, students

and faculty must report all alleged violations to the Honor

Committee.

Plagiarism is a serious academic offense. Plagiarism is the

use of someone else’s ideas, words, projects, artwork,

phrasing, sentence structure or other work without properly

acknowledging the ownership (source) of the property

(item). Plagiarism is dishonest because it misrepresents the

work of someone else as one’s own.

Any violations of the University’s academic rules,

regulations or directives are reported to the head of the

department and may result in one of the university

disciplinary measures.
