Policy Statements Graduation Credit and Institutional Credit Most courses at UMUC may be applied toward a degree. A course that may not be applied toward graduation may be assigned a credit value for purposes of semester load and tuition. This institutional credit is included in the grade point average and in determining eligibility for financial aid and veterans educational benefits. However, institutional credit does not apply toward students’ degree requirements and students required to take institutional credit courses do so in addition to the 60/120 semester hours required for the associate/baccalaureate degree. Nondiscrimination UMUC subscribes to a policy of equal educational and employment opportunity and does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, creed, gender, marital status, age, national origin, ancestry, political affiliation, veteran status, mental or physical disability, or sexual orientation. All inquiries regarding UMUC-Europe’s nondiscrimination statement or compliance with statutes and regulations should be addressed to: Equal Opportunity Officer, or e-mail: eddiversity@ed.umuc.edu. For the complete UMUC statement on nondiscrimination, see Appendix C. 26 Students with Disabilities Reasonable accommodations are available for students who have disabilities and are enrolled in any program offered by UMUC. To allow for adequate planning, students who need accommodations should contact the Director, Student Affairs at least four to six weeks before the beginning of the term. Students must request accommodations each time they register. The first time a student requests accommodation, current (within three years) documentation of a disability must be submitted. Depending on the disability, documentation may include secondary school records; medical, psychiatric, or psychological reports and diagnoses; or a psychoeducational evaluation. The documentation must provide clear and specific evidence of a disability and recommended accommodations from a qualified licensed professional. Note: All UMUC students are required to comply with university policies and procedures and meet the academic requirements of all undergraduate certificate and degree programs. Students with disabilities should review the requirements listed in this Catalog. Students should not apply to a UMUC certificate or degree program with the expectation that any academic requirement will be waived or that substitutions will be allowed. Writing Standards Students should understand that the quality of their writing will affect their grade point average. It is UMUC-Europe policy that all courses, with the possible exception of mathematics courses, should involve some form of written work. Acceptable college-level writing expresses thoughts in a logical, well-organized form, using proper grammar and complete sentences, and correct punctuation and spelling. No student will be awarded an A (outstanding scholarship) on assignments when ineffective writing creates an obvious failure to communicate. UMUC has an Effective Writing Center that may be accessed on the Web at www.umuc.edu/writingcenter 2004-2005 Undergraduate Catalog

Library Resources Students may access an extensive array of online journal databases and national and international newspapers via the Information and Library Services Web page at www.umuc.edu/library or through WebTycho.

Database descriptions and tutorials for searching the online library databases are also available. Library Instruction and Research Assistance Students are often overwhelmed by or are unaware of the vastness of the resources — print, nonprint, and automated — available to them.

Topics include understanding the research process; developing research skills; selecting relevant print and electronic sources to answer research questions; effectively using Web search engines to find information; evaluating, organizing, and correctly citing the information found; and avoiding plagiarism. LIBS 150 must be taken within the student’s first 15 semester hours of coursework.

The Guide to Writing and Research is accessible at tychousa.umuc.edu/writinggde. The UMUC Effective Writing Center is accessible at www.umuc.edu/writingcenter. 2004-2005 Undergraduate Catalog 27
