Attendance at each class or laboratory is mandatory at Oral Roberts University.
Excessive absences can reduce a student’s grade or deny credit for the course.
Students taking a late exam fee because of an unauthorized absence are charged a
late fee.
Students and faculty at Oral Roberts University must adhere to all laws addressing
the ethical use of others’ materials, whether it is in the form of print, electronic,
video, multimedia, or computer software. Plagiarism and other forms of cheating
involve both lying and stealing and are violations of ORU’s Honor Code: “I will
not cheat or plagiarize; I will do my own academic work and will not
inappropriately collaborate with other students on assignments.” Plagiarism is
usually defined as copying someone else’s ideas, words, or sentence structure and
submitting them as one’s own. Other forms of academic dishonesty include (but
are not limited to) the following:
a.
Submitting another’s work as one’s own or colluding with someone else
and submitting that work as though it were his or hers;
b.
Failing to meet group assignment or project requirements while claiming
to have done so;
c.
Failing to cite sources used in a paper;
d.
Creating results for experiments, observations, interviews, or projects that
were not done;
e.
Receiving or giving unauthorized help on assignments.
By submitting an assignment in any form, the student gives permission
for the assignment to be checked for plagiarism, either by submitting the
work for electronic verification or by other means. Penalties for any of
the above infractions may result in disciplinary action including failing
the assignment or failing the course or expulsion from the University, as
determined by department and University guidelines.
Final exams cannot be given before their scheduled times. Students need to check
the final exam schedule before planning return flights or other events at the end of
the semester.
Students are to be in compliance with University, school, and departmental
policies regarding Whole Person Assessment requirements. Students should
consult the Whole Person Assessment handbooks for requirements regarding
general education and the students’ majors.
a.
The penalty for not submitting electronically or for incorrectly submitting
an artifact is a zero for that assignment.
b.
By submitting an assignment, the student gives permission for the
assignment to be assessed electronically.

Department Policies and Procedures
1.
A fee of $15.00 is assessed for all late exams. The university’s late exam policy
applies to all exams taken without notifying the professor prior to the regularly
scheduled exam time and to all exams taken late without an administrative excuse.
2.
Any student whose unexcused absences total 33% or more of the total number of
class sessions receives an F for the course grade.

Other Policies and Procedures
a. Attendance Policy:
 Three unexcused absences are allowed to accommodate emergencies and
illnesses. Each unexcused absence thereafter will result in one point
deduction from final score.
 Students are expected to be punctual for classes. However, late but less
than 5 minutes will not be counted as late.
 Late above 5 minutes but less than 30 minutes will be treated as late.
Students will incur one absence for every two times they are late.
 Late for 30 minutes and above will be treated as absence.
 Two credit points will be awarded for full attendance.
b. Late homework Policy:
 Homework should be turned in within the due date and late submission
will result in reduced grade, 10% deduction for each school day.
 No points will be awarded for any assignment that is turned in after that
homework has been graded and already returned to the class.
 The above rule also applies to mini-project.
c. Expanded and late exam policy:
 Expanded exam is possible only for those with an official letter from the
director of student resources.
 Unexcused late exam will be penalized by prorating the grade based on
exam result of the class and how late it is.
 Students who missed an exam must schedule the late exam immediately
when they resume the class. Once scheduled, no second chance will be
given. Students come to a late exam must present either an official letter
for administrative absence or a receipt for the payment of late
examination fee.
 No late exam is possible for final exam.
