18 academic information Academic Grievance Procedure If a student has a grievance concerning grades and other academic issues he/she may seek resolution through the Academic Grievance Procedure. The academic grievance procedure process and criteria may be obtained from the Graduate School office. Academic Honesty Representing the work of another as your own is a violation of fundamental principles of truthfulness and an offense against the academic community. Academic dishonesty may result in the student failing the course, at the discretion of the instructor. Academic dishonesty includes cheating on examinations, as well as plagiarism (failure to credit properly the ideas, organization of material or phrasing of another, including the use of term paper or reference paper services). Submitting one’s own work, in part or in whole, to more than one instructor without proper notification is also academically dishonest and subject to appropriate disciplinary action. Accommodations for Students with Disabilities Students with learning disabilities, ADHD/ADD, chronic medical conditions, physical disabilities, or psychiatric disabilities who plan to request academic accommodations must self-identify and provide appropriate recent documentation of disability to the Director of Disability Services. Individual Education Plans (IEP) and 504 Plans are not considered documentation and do not carry over to higher education. Documentation guidelines are available at: www.assumption.edu/acad/ASC/disabilities.html. Once documentation has been reviewed by the college, the student must schedule a meeting with the Director of Disability Services. During this meeting, the student and director will determine reasonable accommodations. Please be aware that some accommodations may take up to 12 weeks to implement. Students are strongly advised to begin the process of self-identification, eligibility, and accommodation determination well before the start of the semester in order to provide the college with reasonable notice. Students must request accommodations each semester. Students who are registered with Disability Services will receive an e-mail reminder, sent to their Assumption.edu email account at the start of each semester. Audit With permission of the Program Director, a Special Student or, in special cases, a matriculated student may audit a course. The fee is one-half of the regular three-credit-hour fee. A student who changes status from credit to audit after the seventh week of classes (or, in summer sessions, after the third week) must have permission of the Program Director and the Dean of the Graduate School. No refund is available to those who change status from degree credit to audit. All changes must be processed by the registrar prior to the last class meeting. Class Attendance All students must attend class whenever an announced test, quiz, oral or written examination is given and whenever a report or paper is due. In addition, instructors have the prerogative of establishing specific attendance requirements in their own courses. Each student has the responsibility to keep fully informed of class assignments, special activities and examinations of all types, and to meet the requirements of the course. Course Withdrawals/Additions Course Withdrawals (“drop”) Students may withdraw from a course at any time up to the eighth class meeting. To withdraw from a course, the student must notify the program office of his/her intent to withdraw and request that a withdrawal form be processed. The date of withdrawal is the date on which the student notified the program office. A student may be administratively withdrawn upon determination that he/she has not attended class sessions. See the Financial Information section for the tuition refund schedule. Course Additions (“add”) Students may register for a course up to one week after the start of any given course. No additions are permitted beyond that date. Unusual Circumstances Where illness or extraordinary circumstances require a student to withdraw after the eighth class meeting, the student may submit a written statement to the Program Director requesting a withdrawal from the course(s). Course Repeat Policy When a student earns a C+ or lower, the student may either repeat the course, if it is a specific requirement, or if it is an elective, replace it with a course which satisfies the same requirement. The student may repeat or replace the course only once. If the original course is repeated or replaced the higher of the two grades prevails, the low grade appears with no hours attempted or earned and the original grade is removed from the cumulative average. Students must request to repeat or replace a course in writing to the Program Director.
Directed Studies Directed studies are allowed on a limited basis with the permission of the Professor and the Program Director. Students in the School Counseling program may take no more than two directed studies. Enrollment Status A student who is enrolled in nine or more credits during the Fall and Spring semesters is considered a full-time student. All others are considered part-time students. Grading The grades are as follows: A, A–, B+, B, B–, C+, C, C–, D+, D, D–, and F. A grade of “C+” or lower is not acceptable for credit. Failures are not removed from the student transcript. The “I” (Incomplete) is given when a student for reasonable cause does not complete the requirements of a course. If the Incomplete is not changed to a grade by the marking time of the following semester, the grade will be changed automatically to a Failure. In extenuating circumstances, the program director may petition the Dean of the Graduate School for an extension to complete the work in the course. The “W” on a transcript signifies that the student has officially withdrawn from a course. A minimum QPA of 3.0 is required for graduation. Program Dismissal The College reserves the right to dismiss students for poor academic performance, academic dishonesty, or unprofessional behavior. Program Time Limit All requirements for the Master’s degree and the CAGS must be satisfied within seven calendar years. In unusual cases, and on the written request of the student, exceptions to this limit may be recommended to the Dean of the Graduate School by the Program Director. Transfer credits Graduate work completed at other institutions prior to acceptance as a degree candidate may be offered in partial fulfillment of the course requirements with the approval of the Program Director and the Dean of the Graduate School. No more than six credits may be considered for transfer. These credits should have been earned within seven years prior to the date on which the Assumption College graduate degree is officially conferred. Students are to submit an official transcript of record to the Program Director when requesting approval of advanced credits. No transfer of credit will be approved until the student has completed twelve credits of graduate work at Assumption College. A student who receives advanced credit is not exempt from any part of the comprehensive examinations. Once admitted into the program, students must obtain the permission of both the Program Director and the Dean of the Graduate School to take courses at another institution. 19
