Student Responsibility
Students are responsible for reading, understanding, obeying, and respecting all academic policies,
with added emphasis being placed upon academic progress policies, appearing in the Wayland Baptist
University Academic Catalog applicable to their curriculum ad/or program of study.
Attendance Requirements
As stated in the Wayland Catalog, students enrolled at one of the University’s external campuses (i.e.
Fairbanks, Fort Wainwright, Ben Eielson) should make every effort to attend all class meetings. All
absences must be explained to the instructor, who will then determine whether the absence may be
excused. When a student reaches that number of absences considered by the instructor to be
excessive, the instructor will so advise the student and file an unsatisfactory progress report with the
campus executive director. Any student who misses 25 percent or more of the regularly scheduled
class meetings will receive a failing grade in the course. Additional attendance policies for each
course, as defined by the instructor in the course syllabus, are considered a part of the University’s
attendance policy.
Excessive late arrivals and/or early departures to class will be taken into consideration. Material will
be discussed in class and included in the exams that are not in the book. It is the student’s
responsibility to obtain any material missed by not attending class for any reason. The student must
not miss any more than 25% of the class. Any more misses may result in failure of the class. In case
of TDY’s the instructor should be notified as soon as possible.

Incomplete
A grade of “CR” indicates that credit in semester hours was granted but no grade or grade points
were recorded.
*A grade of incomplete is changed if the work required is completed prior to the date indicated
in the official University calendar of the next long term, unless the instructor designates an
earlier date for completion. If the work is not completed by the appropriate date, the I is
converted to the grade of F. An incomplete notation cannot remain on the student’s permanent
record and must be replaced by the qualitative grade (A-F) by the date specified in the official
University calendar of the next regular term.

Academic Honesty:
Wayland students are expected to conduct themselves according to the highest standards of
academic honesty. Academic misconduct for which a student is subject to penalty includes all
forms of cheating, such as possession of examinations or examination materials, forgery, or
plagiarism. Disciplinary action for academic misconduct is the responsibility of the faculty
member assigned to the course. The faculty member is charged with assessing the gravity of any
case of academic dishonesty and with giving sanctions to any student involved. The faculty
member involved will file a record of the offense and the punishment imposed with the dean of
the division, campus dean, and the provost/academic vice president. Any student who has been
penalized for academic dishonesty has the right to appeal the judgment or the penalty assessed.
Plagiarism:
Plagiarism — The attempt to represent the work of another, as it may relate to written or oral
works, computer-based work, mode of creative expression (i.e. music, media or the visual arts),
as the product of one's own thought, whether the other's work is published or unpublished, or
simply the work of a fellow student.
When a student submits oral or written work for credit that includes the words, ideas, or data of
others, the source of that information must be acknowledged through complete, accurate, and
specific references, and, if verbatim statements are included, through use of quotation marks as
well. By placing one’s name on work submitted for credit, the student certifies the originality of
all work not otherwise identified by appropriate acknowledgements. A student will avoid being
charged with plagiarism if there is an acknowledgement of indebtedness

Disability Statement:
In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), it is the policy of
Wayland Baptist University that no otherwise qualified person with a disability be excluded from
participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any educational
program or activity in the University. The Coordinator of Counseling Services serves as the
coordinator of students with a disability and should be contacted concerning accommodation
requests at (806) 291-3765. Documentation of a disability must accompany any request for
accommodations. Students should inform the instructor of existing disabilities the first class
meeting.
