B. Test/Quiz Absences 1. If a student misses a test or quiz, he/she will receive a 0 for that test/quiz (sickness is not an excuse to miss a test/quiz). In extreme situations, within 48 hours the student must fill out an appeal to the Academic Assistant, and it will be reviewed by the Academic Dean and/or Associate Academic Dean. 2. Students, who have been approved to make up quizzes/tests through special permission, will be able to make them up upon returning to campus. C. Attention All students are expected to pay attention in class. The instructor, not the bell, ends the class period. It is disrespectful to close notebooks/computers and pack up before the instructor dismisses the class. Students should not visit the restroom during the lecture or exam period. Cheating Confessed cheating will result in a zero for the test or assignment. Students caught cheating may be dismissed. Even though instructors use new tests each year, students are not permitted to use old tests from former students as study aids. Students should not give hints to those who still have make-up work to be completed. All tests are the property of Word of Life Bible Institute. Plagiarism: (The following information is provided by Mrs. Britney Sewall’s Research & Writing course content presented to students) Plagiarism is defined as “The unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one’s own original work.” Plagiarism is not clearly distinguishing between your words and the words of someone else. Plagiarism is considered cheating, lying, and stealing. Note that there are 3 types of plagiarism: 1. Intentional Plagiarism includes submitting a work found online, copying portions of a written work, and “borrowing” papers from other students. 2. Unintentional Plagiarism includes lack of knowledge regarding source use, misunderstanding of citation rules, and careless note taking. 3. Self-Recycling includes recycling your own writing for another assignment. Please be advised that WOLBI utilizes a plagiarism detection software (Unicheck) that reviews every submitted assignment. The consequence for participating in any of these types of plagiarism may include receiving a zero for the assignment, being put on a Growth and Change Plan, and/or dismissal from Word of Life Bible Institute. D. Questions Questions will be limited during lectures due to class size. Students should only ask questions that are relevant to the whole class. Students should be careful not to monopolize class question opportunities. Disrespect to lecturers in any form will not be tolerated. Questions can be directed to the instructors between classes, but students must be sitting in their assigned seats before the second bell rings to start class. II. ACADEMIC INFORMATION A. Graduation Attendance at graduation is expected. Students must notify the registrar if they plan to miss Graduation. There will be a modest administrative fee to mail the yearbook and/or diploma. B. Electives There is an additional charge for electives as listed in the catalog. Withdrawals from electives are permitted prior to the start of the second week. Class dress must be worn to electives. First semester students who take electives should have been in the upper 50% of their high school class for one elective and the upper 25% to attempt two electives. Returning students must have a minimum GPA of 2.50 to take one elective and a minimum of 3.00 to take two electives.
