Course Policies
Attendance Policy:
Students are expected to attend all classes and to arrive on time. Unless circumstances prohibit, attendance will be taken
the first ten minutes of class. Anyone missing more than 10 hours of class time will receive an automatic “F” for
the course. Students should be punctual; being late more than 15 minutes will be considered an unexcused absence.
Students are expected to stay in class for the entire class period.
***NOTE: Let your instructor know, with as much advance notice as possible, if you will be late or need to leave early.***
Hampton University’s attendance policy will be enforced and is as follows:
ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS
Faculty members have the right to establish attendance requirements in each of their courses. Instructors are responsible for
clearly informing the students of the course syllabus at the beginning of the semester, of the attendance requirements, and the
consequences of poor attendance.
Regulations Governing Class Absences
1. Students who are absent from classes, regardless of the reasons, are responsible for completing all class assignments. The
student shall be responsible for arranging make-up work with the instructor, who shall be the sole judge of the satisfactory
completion of the course.
2. Students will not be allowed to make up or complete work which is missed a result of suspension or dismissal from the
university. Suspension or dismissal before the end of the semester involves the loss of academic credit for the entire semester.
3. If a student is ill, confined to quarters or in a hospital, a statement from the Director of Student Health Services shall be cause to
support the student's explanation of absence. Any student missing a class because of clinic or Student Health Center treatment will

Guidelines as to what must be included within the PowerPoint document will be given at a later date.

receive a form showing the period of absence. This form shall be presented to each instructor whose classes have been missed. Any
student who is ill should notify his/ her instructors that he/she will not be attending classes because of illness. (Documentation
verifying illness MUST be obtained from the Student Health Center and is NOT an automatic excuse for absence.)
4. It is the responsibility of a student planning a prearranged absence for personal or school purposes to notify his/her instructors at
least 24 hours prior to the absence. Absences for school purposes may be verified by the staff or faculty member responsible for the
activity.
5. A student having to be absent because of a death or serious illness in the family should report the situation to the appropriate
Office of the Dean of Women or Dean of Men. The Dean will notify the student's instructors that supportive documentation has been
received for the necessary absence. Residential students should inform their Residence Hall Director of the circumstances prior to
leaving the campus.
Also, other instances in which documentation from the Office of the Dean of Women or Dean of Men is necessary include absences
from class due to the vehicular accident (in which you were directly involved), appearances in court, employment issues, and
personal or family-related issues. Whether or not the absence is excused is at the instructor’s discretion.
Student Responsibility:
Students are expected to be punctual, alert, and prepared for class. Habitual tardiness is disruptive and will not be
tolerated. Students must adhere to the Hampton University dress code, and must display respect for both their
classmates and their instructor. Students in violation of the dress code will be asked to comply or leave the class.
Assignments are due when indicated, absence is not a consideration for turning in work late or not completing
assignments. In the event that an absence is unavoidable, it is the responsibility of the student to obtain lecture
notes and complete all assignments. Late assignments will receive a 10-point deduction for each day that it is
late, ALL WORK must be completed within one week after the original due date. Late work accepted for
FULL credit ONLY when an absence is excused by the instructor and then ALL missed work (including work
assigned during the period of absence) is due 1 week after returning to class.
Student Responsibility with Blackboard
It is the student’s responsibility to read all pipeline e-mail and browse the course Blackboard site daily for
announcements and assignments. It is also the responsibility of the student to make sure that their pipeline e-mail
and Blackboard accounts remain active and not allow e-mail in-box to extend beyond storage capacity so that
messages start bouncing back to sender. If you have problems or need assistance with either pipeline or
Blackboard, contact the ATM at (757)727-6931 or 6988.
Make-Up/Early Assessments Policy:
NO MAKEUP exam or quiz will be considered without a written medical excuse, or an emergency verified by the
appropriate university official. Acceptance of the excuse as a valid reason to make up the exam is at the instructor’s
discretion. NO EARLY exams will be considered, if you have a personal issue that conflicts with a scheduled
exam, you will need to choose whether to take the exam or to take a zero for that assessment.
MISCELLANEOUS:
Students will not be allowed to leave the classroom during a quiz or final examination; therefore you will need to
have sharpened pencils, Kleenex, and/or taken care of personal issues before the Exam. If you leave the classroom
during an Exam, it MUST BE for an emergency situation. Otherwise, you will not be able to return to the class and
continue the exam. If you have time, explain the situation to your instructor. If you don’t have time, explain when
you return and your instructor will determine whether to allow you to continue the exam.
Please note that a student will not automatically receive an “I” on their final grade due to missing work and/or
exams (even with an acceptable excuse). An “I” will be considered ONLY if you have a passing average by the end
of the semester, AND a verifiable emergency situation (it must be BOTH, not either or).
No hats of any kind for men (except for religious or medical reason) and no baseball caps for women, remove your
hat, cap, etc. when you enter the building. You will not be allowed to enter the class until your hat is removed.

The use of cell phones (or beepers) is strictly prohibited during class time. While in class, place the ringer on
vibrate or silence. If you must take a call, please excuse yourself BEFORE doing so. Students in violation of this
policy will be asked to leave the classroom. Food and beverages may not be consumed in class.
The only reading material allowed during class time will be the required material and other material the instructor
deems necessary for the lesson. While in class you MUST be working on assignments for this class. No reading email, browsing the Internet, playing computer games or any other off task activity will be tolerated. Anyone caught
doing anything considered off task for this course will be subject to have points deducted from their grade.
All students must inform instructors of their participation in sports or institutional activities at the
beginning of the semester. You will need to include an official schedule of games and/or activities.
Please try to see me only during my office hours. If there are conflicts, make an appointment. When sending e-mail
or leaving voice messages, please leave your name and the section to which you are assigned.
Accommodations for 504 Compliance:
Students with disabilities which require accommodations should (1) register with the Office of Testing Services and
504 Compliance to provide documentation and (2) bring the necessary information indicating the need for
accommodation and what type of accommodation is needed. This should be done during the first week of classes or
as soon as the student receives the information. If the instructor is not notified in a timely manner, retroactive
accommodations may not be provided.
Academic Dishonesty Policy:
Cheating:
A student is considered to be cheating if, in the opinion of the person administering an examination (written or
oral), the student gives, seeks, or receives aid during the process of the examination; the student buys, sells, steals,
or otherwise possesses or transmits an examination without authorization; or, the student substitutes for another or
permits substitution for himself/ herself during an examination.
Cheating includes, but is not limited to:
1. Copying from others or allowing others to copy from you during an examination
2. Sharing answers for a take-home assignment or examination without permission from your instructor
3. Using cell phones, palm pilots, or other electronic devices to communicate exam answers or store illegal
notes
4. Using sign language, facial expressions, or other bodily noises to communicate exam answers
5. Using notes during an examination or assessment, without permission from your instructor
6. Taking an examination for another student or allowing someone to take an exam for you
7. Tampering with an assignment or exam after it has been corrected, then returning it for more credit
without the consent or direction of your instructor
8. Submitting an assignment done by someone else as your own work
9. Submitting portions of the same academic work for credit in more than one course, without permission
from instructors
10. Submitting work done in a previous semester by you or another student
11. Allowing someone else to do the research and writing of an assignment
12. Submitting a computer assignment where the student whose name appears on the assignment was not the
person who did all keystrokes or mouse commands to complete the assignment
All cases of cheating shall be reported by the instructor to the Chair of the department in which the cheating
occurred, to the school Dean/division Director and to the Provost.
No penalty shall be imposed until the student has been informed of the charge and of the evidence upon which it is
based and has been given an opportunity to present his/her defense. If the faculty member and the student cannot
agree on the facts pertaining to the charge, or if the student wishes to appeal a penalty, the issue may be taken to the
department chair. Each party will present his/her case to the chair who shall then call a meeting of all involved

parties. If the issue is not resolved at the departmental level, the dean shall conduct a hearing. If the issue is not
resolved at the school level either party may appeal the decision at the school level to the Provost who shall
convene the appropriate individuals and conduct a hearing in order to resolve the issue. There is a ZERO
tolerance for cheating, no second chances and no partial credit. ALL DOCUMENTS
ORIGINALLY CREATED BY STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO START FROM A “BLANK
DOCUMENT”. IN THIS CASE THE STUDENT MUST START BY CREATING A “NEW
DOCUMENT” (Click the Office Button, then click New) AND NOT UTILIZING A PREEXISTING DOCUMENT WHERE THE CONTENT HAS BEEN DELETED.
Plagiarism:
Plagiarism is defined as “taking and using as one’s own the writing or ideas of another.” All materials used to meet
assigned written requirements of a course, from any source, must be given proper credit by citing the source.
Penalties for Academic Dishonesty
Cases of academic dishonesty are initially investigated and reported by members of the instructional faculty to the
chairperson of the department in which the cheating occurred, to the school dean, division director and to the
Provost. Also, penalties for minor violations of academic dishonesty are to be recommended at the discretion of the
instructor. Therefore, the recommended penalty for cheating of any kind will be an “F” for the
course.
When dismissal from the University is the recommended penalty, the chairman of the department submits the
details of the case to the Provost who schedules a hearing.
Administrative Action:
The Provost has the authority to dismiss or expel any student who fails to meet scholarship requirements or to abide
by academic regulations.
Code of Conduct
Joining the Hampton Family is an honor and requires each individual to uphold the policies, regulations, and guidelines established for students,
faculty, administration, professional and other employees, and the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Each member is required to adhere to and
conform to the instructions and guidance of the leadership of his/her respective area. Therefore, the following are expected of each member of the
Hampton Family:
1.
To respect himself or herself.
2.
To respect the dignity, feelings, worth, and values of others.
3.
To respect the rights and property of others and to discourage vandalism and theft.
4.

5.
To practice personal, professional, and academic integrity, and to discourage all forms of dishonesty, plagiarism, deceit, and disloyalty to
the Code of Conduct.
6.
To foster a personal professional work ethic within the Hampton University Family.
7.
