WITHDRAWAL POLICY Students who find it necessary to withdraw from school (all classes) must complete an official withdrawal form. Forms may be acquired from the office of academic affairs. Failure to officially withdraw will result in a loss of any financial rebate, plus failure of all courses for that semester. CLASS ATTENDANCE Students are expected to participate in the course regularly and are encouraged to attend all classes. Faculty are not required to adhere to an institutional attendance policy but are free to implement attendance and/or participation policies in their individual courses that may or may not affect a student’s grade. Please see individual course syllabi for class attendance and/or participation information. PARTICIPATION AND LATE WORK POLICY Academic integrity demands that students engage fully in their courses and submit work on time; these practices reflect honesty, respect for the learning process, and commitment to academic excellence. This commitment is evidenced in the following:
Honesty: Adherence to academic honesty standards. Excellence: Production of high-quality work. Engagement: Active participation in learning activities. Responsibility: Meeting deadlines and managing workload effectively.
Participation includes a student's contribution to discussions, collaboration with peers and the instructor, and engagement with course material, fostering a dynamic learning experience. The following policy applies to in-person learning and DOL.
Participation and Engagement
Regular attendance is crucial for academic success. Individual instructors for in-person learning determine and communicate their specific attendance requirements, which students are responsible for understanding and following in each of their courses. Participation and Engagement for DOL students are measured through assignments and discussion board activity. Low grade reports are submitted by the instructor to the Registrar every two weeks. Low grade reports are for any student with a D+ (73) or lower. A Low-grade report link will be provided to all faculty.
Late Work
Scale of Deduction: Late work will incur a flat deduction of 25% of the graded score if submitted within one week of the due date, and 50% off the graded score if submitted within two weeks of the due date.
