POLICIES:
A. Attendance: A student cannot receive credit for a course if he/she does not attend at least two-thirds of the class meetings, regardless of the reason for the
absence. The attendance policy for the athletic training education program, which is more stringent than the standard UWA attendance policy, is in effect for this
class and will be followed.
B. Academic Misconduct: The academic misconduct policy of UWA will be followed in this course.
C. Request for Accommodation: All requests for accommodation, for this course or any school event, are welcome, from students and parents.
D. Discussion of Grades with Professor: Any student who receives failing grades during this course is urged to discuss this with the teacher.
The University of West Alabama strives to make its programs accessible to qualified persons defined as disabled under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Students who have special needs that require accommodation are responsible for notifying instructors in each course in
which they are enrolled and appropriate staff members, who in turn will refer the student to the ADA Compliance Coordinator. Following verification of the student’s
status, the ADA Compliance Coordinator will work with the instructor or staff member in implementing an appropriate plan for accommodation of the student’s needs.
Support documentation of special needs from a physician or other qualified professional will be required if deemed necessary. For more information, students should
contact the Student Success Center, Foust Hall 7, (205) 652-3651 or the Office of Student Life, 311 Webb Hall, (205) 652-3581.
