ACADEMIC STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES I. CLASSROOM CONDUCT A. Attendance In accordance with New York State Department of Education regulations, Word of Life Bible Institute requires and expects every student to attend all scheduled classes.
Students are expected to arrive for class on time. If a student misses 10 minutes or more of any class hour, that hour will be regarded as an absence and the student will receive 5 discipline points.
Students who are absent from class for any reason are expected to submit the Absence Form within 24 hours of their missed class. Failure to submit this form will result in 1 discipline point.
Students who miss class will receive 5 discipline points per missed class. In addition to discipline points, students who are absent in excess will receive a grade deduction, which may result in them being unable to complete the program or being dismissed.
Students may refer to the course syllabus for more details regarding attendance policy expectations .
B. Test/Quiz Absences 1. If a student misses a test or quiz, he/she will receive a 0 for that test/quiz (mild 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. Upon approval, students have 1 week from the time of the missed test/quiz to make it up. 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. D. 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. E. 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.
