ADA Policy
Students with disabilities who may need academic accommodation(s), should
contact Mary Sloan in SAB, Room 207, or email mary.sloan@saintleo.edu, or call
(352) 588-8464.
Attendance Policy
Students are expected to participate in a timely manner by attending face-to-face
classes and meeting posting and submission deadlines online; failure to do so to
the professor’s satisfaction may result in a loss of up to one full letter grade from
the earned course final mark. Work teams are strongly encouraged; students are
expected to attend work team meetings, chat sessions, and participate in
discussions.
Late Work Policy
Generally, late work will not be accepted for credit. In extreme circumstances the
instructor may accept late work with a penalty if the student provides appropriate
documentation (for example, copies of hospital admission paperwork). No work
will be accepted after the end of the course unless arrangements have been
made in advance.
Academic Honesty
The Academic Honor Code is published in its entirety in the Saint Leo University
Catalog. The first paragraph is quoted below.
As members of an academic community that places a high value on truth
and the pursuit of knowledge, Saint Leo University students are expected
to be honest in every phase of their academic life and present as their own
work only that which is genuinely theirs. Unless otherwise specified by the
professor, students must complete homework assignments by themselves
(or if on a team assignment, with only their team members). If they
receive outside assistance of any kind, they are expected to cite the
source and indicate the extent of the assistance. Each student has the
responsibility to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity and
to refrain from cheating, plagiarism or any other forms of academic
dishonesty.
