stUdent riGHts<br />
The college supports the following<br />
position of the American Association<br />
of University Professors (1968 Joint<br />
Statement of Rights and Freedoms of<br />
Students):<br />
In the classroom and in conference,<br />
professors should encourage free<br />
discussion, inquiry, and expression.<br />
Student performance should be evaluated<br />
solely on an academic basis, not on<br />
opinions or conduct in matters unrelated to<br />
academic standards.<br />
A. Protection of freedom of expression.<br />
Students should be free to take<br />
reasonable exceptions to the data or<br />
views offered in any course of study<br />
and to reserve judgment about matters<br />
of opinion, but they are responsible for<br />
learning the content of any course of<br />
study for which they are enrolled.<br />
B. Protection against improper academic<br />
evaluation. Students should have<br />
protection through orderly procedures<br />
against prejudiced or capricious<br />
academic evaluation. At the same time,<br />
they are responsible for maintaining<br />
the standards of academic performance<br />
established for each course in which<br />
they are enrolled.<br />
C. Protection against improper disclosure.<br />
Information about student views,<br />
34<br />
beliefs, and political associations that<br />
professors acquire in the course of<br />
their work as instructors, advisors,<br />
and counselors should be considered<br />
confdential. Protection against<br />
improper disclosures is a serious<br />
professional obligation. Judgments of<br />
ability and character may be provided<br />
under appropriate circumstances,<br />
normally with the knowledge or<br />
consent of the student.<br />
CoUrse reqUirements<br />
An outline of all course requirements will<br />
be provided by each instructor to students.<br />
This outline will include a grading policy<br />
used to determine a student’s fnal grade.<br />
Students are responsible for meeting<br />
course prerequisites and for promptly<br />
obtaining any texts or materials required<br />
for the course.<br />
Students who have met course<br />
prerequisites at other institutions will be<br />
required to provide transcripts evidencing<br />
satisfactory completion of the prerequisite<br />
courses prior to registration.<br />
AttendAnCe PoLiCY<br />
Specifc attendance policies should be<br />
confrmed with each instructor. Students<br />
must be prompt and in attendance<br />
for all classes; when absent, they are<br />
responsible for any assignments and/or<br />
material they may have missed. A class<br />
meeting is an uninterrupted instructional<br />
session involving one or more classes, a<br />
practicum, or a laboratory period during<br />
which a single attendance record is made.<br />
Excusable absences are those verifed as<br />
required by the individual faculty member.<br />
If faculty records indicate that a student<br />
has never attended a class, the Offce of<br />
Records and Registration will drop the<br />
student from a class. This may affect<br />
health insurance, athletic and fnancial aid<br />
eligibility.
