 If the student is unable to attend, s/he must contact the instructor before the class
or laboratory session or as early as possible.
 Appropriate documentation must be provided to the instructor for consideration for
an excused absence.
 Late arrival or an early exit from the class /lab/clinic may result in a point/grade

2. Second missed class will result in a 10% reduction in course grade.

Illness
“While class attendance is required per the above stated policy, please be cautious
about attending class if you are feeling ill. Please inform your instructor by phone or e-mail
if you are feeling unwell: if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms, you should not attend
class; please take precautions not to infect others and seek medical attention if your
symptoms worsen” (Liz Grobsmith, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs).
Statement on Plagiarism and Cheating
The University takes an extremely serious view of violations of academic integrity.
As members of the academic community, NAU's administration, faculty, staff, and students
are dedicated to promoting an atmosphere of honesty and are committed to maintaining
the academic integrity essential to the education process. Inherent in this commitment is
the belief that academic dishonesty in all forms violates the basic principles of integrity and
impedes learning. Students are therefore responsible for conducting themselves in an
academically honest manner. Individual students and faculty members are responsible for
identifying instances of academic dishonesty. Faculty members then recommend penalties
to the department chair or college dean in keeping with the severity of the violation.
Personal Safety
Be mindful of your personal safety and use common sense precautions no matter
where you are. Be aware of your surroundings and take advantage of the safety escort
service provided by the NAU Police Department (NAUPD) by calling 523-3611. The campus
has "blue phones" or emergency phones with a direct push-button line to the police
dispatchers. The NAU Police Department Web site nau.edu/police contains a number of tip
sheets on issues from residence hall room safety to identity theft tips. Please take a look at
this valuable information.
Computer Safety
Be aware that no one at this university will ever contact you via e-mail and ask you
any personal information. Be aware of the inherent risks in Internet use and carefully
guard your personal information.
University Policies
Safe Working And Learning Environment Policy
revised 10/10
12
NAU’s Safe Working and Learning Environment Policy seeks to prohibit
discrimination and promote the safety of all individuals within the university. The goal of
this policy is to prevent the occurrence of discrimination on the basis of sex, race, color,
age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or veteran status and to prevent
sexual harassment, sexual assault or retaliation by anyone at this university. You may
obtain a copy of this policy from the college dean’s office or from the NAU’s Affirmative
Action Web site http://home.nau.edu/diversity. If you have concerns about this policy, it is
important that you contact the departmental chair, dean’s office, the Office of Student Life
(928-523-5181), or NAU’s Office of Affirmative Action (928-523-3312).
Students with Disabilities
If you have a documented disability, you can arrange for accommodations by
contacting Disability Resources (DR) at 523-8773 (voice) or 523-6906 (TTY), dr@nau.edu
(e-mail) or 928-523-8747 (fax).Students needing academic accommodations are required
to register with DR and provide required disability related documentation. Although you
may request an accommodation at any time, in order for DR to best meet your individual
needs, you are urged to register and submit necessary documentation www.nau.edu/dr 8
weeks prior to the time you wish to receive accommodations. DR is strongly committed to
the needs of student with disabilities and the promotion of Universal Design. Concerns or
questions related to the accessibility of programs and facilities at NAU may be brought to
the attention of DR or the Office of Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity (523-3312).
Institutional Review Board
Any study involving observation of or interaction with human subjects that
originates at NAU—including a course project, report, or research paper—must be
reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) for the protection of
human subjects in research and research-related activities. The IRB meets monthly.
Proposals must be submitted for review at least fifteen working days before the monthly
meeting. You should consult with your course instructor early in the course to ascertain if
your project needs to be reviewed by the IRB and/or to secure information or appropriate
forms and procedures for the IRB review. Your instructor and department chair or college
dean must sign the application for approval by the IRB. The IRB categorizes projects into
three levels depending on the nature of the project: exempt from further review, expedited
review, or full board review. If the IRB certifies that a project is exempt from further
revised 10/10
13
review, you need not resubmit the project for continuing IRB review as long as there are no
modifications in the exempted procedures. A copy of the IRB Policy and Procedures Manual
is available in each department’s administrative office and each college dean’s office or on
their Web site: http://www.research.nau.edu/vpr/IRB/
index.htm. If you have questions, contact the IRB Coordinator in the Office of the Vice
President for Research at 928-523-8288 or 523-4340.
