COURSE POLICIES
SCHOLASTIC DISHONESTY. Any student who commits an act of scholastic dishonesty is subject to
disciplinary action. Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, collusion, the
submission for credit of any work or materials that are attributable in whole or in part to another person,
taking an examination for another person, any act designed to give unfair advantage to a student, or the
attempt to commit such acts. Along with the use of uncredited ideas and content created by persons, the use
of uncredited AI-generated content is considered plagiarism.
In instances where a student has clearly been identified as having committed an act of academic dishonesty,
an instructor must take appropriate disciplinary action initially, including awarding the penalty grade of “F”
for the assignment, exam, or course, subject to review and endorsement by the Academic Dean.
2
No student may be dismissed from a course, program of study, or the University without due process as
outlined by the Student Code of Conduct. Student appeals related to Wiley University academic policies
must be submitted to the Vice President for Academic Affairs, who will refer the appeal to the appropriate
University committee.
ACCOMMODATIONS POLICY. Wiley University is committed to providing an inclusive and
accessible learning environment in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section
504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Students who require accommodations due to a disability should contact the
Office of Accessibility Services as soon as possible to discuss their needs and obtain the necessary
accommodations. A student cannot receive accommodations until they have registered with the Office of
Accessibility Services.
It is the student’s responsibility to provide appropriate documentation and to communicate with faculty
regarding their accommodations in a timely manner. Faculty members are committed to working with the
Office of Accessibility Services to ensure that all students have equal access to course materials and
activities.
For more information regarding accommodations and accessibility, please contact the Office of
Accessibility Services coordinator, Sacoyle Baker, by: email- shcw@wileyc.edu, phone- 903-927-3296, or
in person located in the Hodge Building, Suite 115, Office 105.
Assignments
Papers/assignments are to be submitted via Canvas and will be checked via Turn It In for
plagiarism and AI. Assignments are expected to be turned in on time; late papers will be
deducted in point value. Papers found to be plagiarized will be handled according to the
academic dishonesty policy outlined in the syllabus.
Late Assignment Submission Policy
Unless an extension is approved in advance of the due date, assignments may not be
turned in late. Extensions maybe approved with or without penalty for late submissions.
Email Use
Wiley University recognizes the value and efficiency of communication between faculty/staff and
students through electronic mail. At the same time, email raises some issues concerning security
and the identity of each individual in an email exchange. The university encourages all official
student email correspondence be sent only to a student’s Wiley University email address and that
faculty and staff consider email from students official only if it originates from a Wiley University
student account. This allows the university to maintain a high degree of confidence in the identity
of all individuals corresponding and the security of the transmitted information. Wiley University
furnishes each student with a free email account that is to be used in all communication with
university personnel.
Participation in this course will require use of Wiley University email ONLY in accordance with
University policy. Be sure to check with the Information Systems and Technology Department to
ensure that your email account is in order.

Technical Support
For technical support with your MyWiley or email accounts, please contact the Information
Systems and Technology Department at 903-927-3310 or by email at helpdesk1@wileyc.edu.
Online Netiquette
All students in the online class must strictly observe the standards of polite online communication
know as netiquette. Online learning requires that everyone in the course (both students and
professors) work together and share their ideas. That type of collaboration is only possible and
beneficial when we all agree to treat one another with respect. Unfortunately, the types of
communication we use online don’t always foster a respectful environment. Because we aren’t
speaking face to face, we might forget that here is a person with valid thoughts and feelings behind
each username we see in the chat room or over email. That means we have to take extra care to
monitor our own behavior.
Student Responsibilities
Students should:
 Use Wiley University’s email system for all academic, administrative,
and co-curricular communication between faculty, staff and peers.
 Log into Canvas (Learning Management System) daily
 Check their email and class announcements (in Canvas) daily.
 Ensure they have consistent required technology for the course
 Participate in course regularly and engage in course discussions
 Complete assignments on time. (Note that all deadlines use the Central Standard Time
(CST).
 Present written work in an academic and professional manner.
Tutoring Support: Tutoring is REQUIRED for any student with a cumulative average of “C” or
lower. The following free tutoring options are available to all students:

ACADEMIC PROTOCOL FOR STUDENT CONCERNS. Students may express concerns regarding a

this concern is not addressed, it may be discussed with the chairperson (or Dean, if the instructor is the
Chairperson). If the concern is still not addressed, an appointment can be made with the Vice President of
Academic Affairs.
