Cut off: No late work will be accepted if submitted more than two weeks past the original due date.
Extensions: Extension requests should be a last resort, reserved only for unforeseeable circumstances beyond a student's control. Extensions are not guaranteed and will not be granted for prescheduled events. Students are expected to manage their time effectively, communicate proactively with instructors, and complete work in advance of known commitments.
Non-Participation Failure After 3 weeks of non-participation, a grade of non-participation failure will be applied.
Planned Absences Students must notify faculty prior to any planned absences, events, or circumstances that might interfere with their course participation, attendance, or academic performance. Extensions are not guaranteed and will not be granted for prescheduled events. Students are expected to manage their time effectively, communicate proactively with instructors, and complete work in advance of known commitments. For any significant planned absences (mission trips, life events, etc.) students must obtain approval from the Dean of Students before enrolling in the course. This ensures that the student's academic responsibilities can be appropriately managed alongside their commitments. TRANSFER OF CREDIT Students attending Davis College may earn college credit by the transfer of credit from various learning experiences. Specific documentation is required before a transfer of credit evaluation may be completed. Credit may be accepted for college courses taken through regionally or nationally accredited institutions whose associations hold membership in the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). Only courses with a minimum grade of “C–” or above are transferable. Students transferring from non-accredited institutions or from institutions whose accrediting association does not hold membership in CHEA will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis using procedures determined by the registrar. This determination of transfer credit is based upon the accreditation status of the institution, the academic rigor of a particular course, the final grade of the course, and whether a match exists between a course and a Davis College program requirement. Equivalent course credit may be transferred to Davis College from regionally or professionally accredited institutions by presenting an official transcript from that institution. College credits are evaluated by the registrar’s office for possible transfer of credit. The registrar’s office will notify applicants/students in writing of the transfer evaluation results. Only that credit which has been validated by the registrar’s office may be transferred from selected non-accredited institutions. Courses taken in all modalities are transferrable with the exception of waived courses, labs, practicums, and internal assessments. A maximum of 12 credit hours of work in correspondence courses may be transferred from accredited correspondence programs. Acceptable transfer of credit exempts students from taking the equivalent course in the Davis College curriculum. Students transferring from other institutions should contact each previous and/or current college or university to request an official transcript of all previously attempted college credit to be sent to Davis College. Davis College accepts transfer credit into all of its certificate and degree programs across all modalities and locations. An official transcript is one received directly by Davis College from a sending institution. It is a legal document printed on official transcript paper which contains the signature of the certifying official, the institutional seal, and the date of issue. The official transcript must be sent directly from the sending institution (previous institution) to the receiving institution (Davis College). An official transcript may be sent by mail in a sealed, unopened envelope bearing an institutional stamp across the envelope seal, or it may be sent as a certified and verified electronic transmission through a secured link from the institution. Official transcripts must be submitted directly to a designated Davis College official. Transcripts received
