Attendance Requirements: Attendance and oral participation are mandatory. All absences must be
explained to the instructor, who will determine whether to omitted work may be made up.
All Wayland students are expected to attend every class meeting; the minimum percentage of class
participation required to avoid receiving a grade of “F” in the class is 75%. Students who miss the
first two class meetings without providing a written explanation to the instructor will be
automatically dropped from the roster as a “no-show.” Students who know in advance that they will
be absent the first two class meetings and who wish to remain in the class must inform the
instructor in order to discuss possible arrangements for making up absences.
Statement on Plagiarism and Academic Dishonesty: Wayland Baptist University observes a zero tolerance
policy regarding academic dishonesty. Per university policy as described in the academic catalog, all cases
of academic dishonesty will be reported and second offenses will result in suspension from the university.
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.”
Course Requirements: Students shall have protection through orderly procedures against prejudices
or capricious academic evaluation. A student who believes that he or she has not been held to
realistic academic standards, just evaluation procedures, or appropriate grading, may appeal the final
grade given in the course by using the student grade appeal process described in the Academic Catalog.
Appeals may not be made for advanced placement examinations or course bypass examinations.
Appeals are limited to the final course grade, which may be upheld, raised, or lowered at any stage of
the appeal process. Any recommendation to lower a course grade must be submitted through the
Executive Vice President/Provost to the Faculty Assembly Grade Appeals Committee for review and
approval. The Faculty Assembly Grade Appeals Committee may instruct that the course grade be
upheld, raised, or lowered to a more proper evaluation. 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 dean. Any student who misses 25 percent or more of
the regularly scheduled class meetings will receive a grade of F in the course. You will be expected to
keep up, or ahead, of the class schedule and assignments. Come prepared for quizzes, exams and
discussion of assignments for every class. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to inform me in advance of
any problems, so that an alternative might be worked out. You will only be allowed to make up work
early if it is pre-approved with the instructor. If you have special learning needs please let me know
ahead of time. It is the University’s policy that no otherwise qualified person experiencing disabilities
be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under and
educational program or activity in this University.
If a student has an impairment that would require additional accommodations by the instructor and/or
theUniversity, then please inform the instructor, or Center Director, beginning of the first class session.
