Classroom expectations for students
Attendance Policy
participating in their online course to be considered in attendance.
Students are expected to participate in all required instructional activities in their courses. Online courses are no different in this regard; however, participation must be defined in a different manner.
1. Student “attendance” in an online course is defined as active participation in the course as described in the course syllabus. Instructors in online courses will provide students with clear instructions for how they are required to participate in the course. Additionally, instructors will incorporate specific instructional activities within their course and will, at a minimum, have weekly mechanisms for documenting student participation. These mechanisms may include, but are not limited to, participating in a weekly discussion board, submitting/completing assignments in the online platform, or communicating with the instructor.
2. Students aware of necessary absences must inform the professor with as much advance notice as possible in order to make appropriate arrangements.
3. Any student absent 20 percent or more of the online course, i.e., non-participatory during 3 or more weeks of an 11 week term, may receive an F for that course.
4. Any student who has not actively participated in an online class prior to the census date for any given term is considered a "no-show" and will be administratively withdrawn from the class without record. To be counted as actively participating, it is not sufficient to log in and view the course. The student must be submitting work as described in the course syllabus.
5. Additional attendance and participation policies for each course, as defined by the instructor in the course syllabus, are considered a part of the attendance policy
· Termination may occur for any of the following attendance situations:
1. Eight (8) consecutive absences per semester.
2. Absence in excess of 20 percent (20%) of available course hours.
3. Absence in excess of 20 percent (20%) of externship hours.
Veteran's Attendance Policy
Excused absences will be granted for extenuating circumstances only. Excused absences must be substantiated by entries in students' files. Early departures, class cuts, tardies, etc., for any portion of a class period will be counted as absence. Students exceeding 3 unexcused absences in a 7 day period for non-degree programs and 5 unexcused absences in a semester for degree granting programs will be terminated from their VA benefits for unsatisfactory attendance. The student's attendance record will be retained in the veteran's file for USDVA and SAA audit purposes.
Student Tardiness Policy
Tardiness for didactic or clinical education will not be tolerated. Anytime beyond the scheduled reporting time will be considered late or tardy.
NOTE: Plagiarism is defined as the use, without proper acknowledgment, of the ideas, phrases, sentences, or larger units of discourse from another writer or speaker. Plagiarism includes the unauthorized copying of software and the violation of copyright laws. Students who commit plagiarism will obtain a grade of “Failure” on their exam or assignment.
Course Description
