Info

absences, but notification of such absences and arrangements to make up missed work should be made with the instructor by the student. In the unfortunate event of a death in the family, students are asked to contact the Office of Student Affairs so that notification can be sent to faculty members and arrangements can be made with them to assist students with make-up work. If students are ill and will be missing a test, examination, or presentation, it is their responsibility to contact the instructor by phone the day of the test. When students are going to be absent for a period of two days or more, if they notify the Office of Student Affairs, written notification of their absence will be sent to the students’ instructors. It should be understood, however, that the Office of Student Affairs is not responsible for granting excuses for class absence. Cell Phone and Electronic Device Policy To provide an optimum environment for learning, all cellular phones and other electronic devices must be kept on silent alert (vibration or visible flash) while in the classroom, laboratory, or studio. Any calls must be answered outside the classroom. Students are not allowed to record (audio and/or video) lectures or labs without the written permission of the instructor. Standards of Classroom Behavior The primary responsibility for managing the classroom environment rests with the course instructor. Students who engage in any prohibited or unlawful acts that result in disruption of a class may be directed by the faculty member to leave the class for the remainder of the class period. Longer suspensions from a class, or dismissal on disciplinary grounds, must be proceeded by a disciplinary conference hearing. Tests and Final Examinations Giving and proctoring examinations is an important duty of every instructor. It is not an acceptable practice to have examinations proctored by undergraduate students. Each instructor is expected to be physically present when examinations are given or to have arranged for a faculty colleague to be present. Deviations from this policy must have the approval of the department chairperson and the appropriate dean. Students shall not be allowed to leave the final examination room prior to completion of the examination unless given permission to do so by the proctor. The times of final examinations are set by the Registrar. Under no circumstances may a faculty member change the time of a final examination without the agreement of the 79
Registrar; arrangement by the student to take a final examination at other than the scheduled time will not justify violating this policy. Students with conflicting final examinations are to see the faculty member of the course which has the smaller enrollment so another time may be arranged for the examination. Students are not required to take three finals in one day. If a student has three examinations scheduled on one day, he or she is to see the faculty member of the course which has the smaller enrollment so another time may be scheduled for that examination. Students unable to take final examinations due to illness or emergency should (1) notify the instructor and (2) request a make-up examination at the earliest possible time. Registration Registration takes place eight weeks after the beginning of the semester, by class year. Preregistration with academic advisors should be scheduled in advance of the scheduled registration period. The master schedule is available online and in different areas on campus before the preregistration date. Adding a Class Students may add a course with the permission of the instructor of the course and of their faculty advisor. Written permission, indicating approval, must be submitted to the Student Services Center. Credit Overload Only students with a grade point average of 3.000 or students demonstrating special need will be allowed to register for a credit overload. A credit overload shall be interpreted as credits carried in excess of those required by the student’s particular curriculum. Approval must be granted by the student’s advisor and one of the Dean(s) of Student Affairs. GPA Adjustment Policy The GPA Adjustment Policy is a policy and procedure for a student to request removal of substandard grades in majors/programs for which they are clearly not suited. Removing grades of less than 2.0 may help the student gain confidence in his/her academic ability, choose another academic career path, increase their GPA to be removed from Academic Probation or Ineligibility, and, possibly, reinstate financial aid. This action will only be permitted if the student agrees to the specific conditions detailed below. The complete policy and procedure and the form are available from the Registrar in the Student Services Center. The student MUST change majors/programs. This can include changing between declared majors/programs, changing from declared majors/programs 80
