4. Distribution of Grades: Due to FERPA regulations, without written consent from the student, WOLBI is not authorized to discuss the student’s academic standing with any third parties, including parents and guardians. 5. Correction of Grades: Students have two weeks to question grades by contacting the Administrative Assistant to the Academic Office. D. Study Hours Study Hours are designated periods intended for focused, independent academic work. To maintain an environment conducive to concentration and productivity, talking, phone use, and other overt distractions are not permitted. All students are required to complete study hours during the first five weeks of their enrollment. Students entering their sophomore year with a cumulative GPA above 2.5 will be exempt from this requirement. Every five weeks, the Academic Office reviews students’ GPAs. At that time, any student with either a cumulative or current semester GPA above 2.5 will be exempt from study hours. Students who do not meet this requirement will either remain in or reenter study hours. Students in study hours will be responsible for spending a total of four hours in intentional and focused study each week. Students are required to study in two time blocks, each lasting two hours, chosen from five available options. While the available time slots remain the same, students may choose different slots each week to accommodate their schedules. Students may study in a location of their choice but are encouraged to use study-friendly spaces. Students are required to report their completed study hours to their dorm RA. Failure to report or fulfill the study requirement may result in follow-up from either the Student Life Office or the Academic Office. E. Make-Up Work All classes missed due to any absence must be made up by viewing the class on the student portal. Unless otherwise communicated, all work must be completed within one class day of the class missed. In the event that consecutive days of class are missed, the student has one class day for each of the class days missed. Late Submission Policy: Assignments permitted to be submitted late will incur a 3% penalty for each day beyond the due date up to a maximum of 50% off the total grade. This penalty does not apply to tests/quizzes and assignments approved to be submitted late by the Academic Office. Professors have the right to deny late submissions or to impose higher late penalties if so desired. Extensions: Any requests for extensions must be submitted to the Academic Office before the assignment’s original due date. Approval for extensions is at the discretion of the Academic Office.
