Class attendance is not an issue with online courses; however, you will need to pace
yourself each week and stay on schedule. Online courses require much self-discipline.
Ethical Behavior: Respect for the integrity of the academic process in both Professional
behavior and social and emotional well-being for faculty and students.
The rights and responsibilities that accompany academic freedom are at the heart of the
intellectual purposes of the University. Our conduct as community members should
protect and promote the University's pursuit of its academic mission. We are all,
therefore, expected to conduct ourselves with integrity in our learning, teaching and

Incompletes will be processed as late assignments, but as a cumulative late assignment,
