ATTENDANCE POLICY:
University Attendance Policy: The University expects students to make class attendance a
priority. All absences must be explained to the instructor who will determine whether omitted
work may be made up. When a student reaches the number of absences considered by the
instructor to be excessive, the instructor will so advise the student and file an unsatisfactory
progress report with the dean at the campus where the course is offered. Any student who
misses 25% or more of the regularly scheduled class meetings will receive a grade of “F” in the
course. Student appeals should be addressed, in writing, to the campus dean.
Attendance for this online course will be documented by the student’s participation in
class discussions and submission of assignments. The last date of attendance will be
determined by student’s most recent participation in course activities – not the last login.

In Progress
A grade of “CR” indicates that credit in semester hours was granted but no grade or grade points were
recorded.
*A grade of incomplete is changed if the work required is completed prior to the date indicated in the
official University calendar of the next long term, unless the instructor designates an earlier date for
completion. If the work is not completed by the appropriate date, the I is converted to the grade of F. An
incomplete notation cannot remain on the student’s permanent record and must be replaced by the
qualitative grade (A-F) by the date specified in the official University calendar of the next regular term.
B. Procedure Used for Computation of Final Grade
See assignment percentages above.

highest standards of academic honesty. Academic misconduct for which a student is subject to penalty
includes all forms of cheating, such as illicit possession of examinations or examination materials, forgery,
or plagiarism. (Plagiarism is the presentation of the work of another as one’s own work).
Disciplinary action for academic misconduct is the responsibility of the faculty members assigned to the
course. The faculty member is charged with assessing the gravity of any case of academic dishonesty,
and with giving sanctions to any student involved. Penalties may be applied to individual cases of
academic dishonesty see catalog for more information about academic dishonesty.
