University Policies
The following University policies apply to anyone enrolled in this course:
2. Enrollment
Status: Students are responsible for ensuring that they are
properly enrolled in their classes. The official registration
deadline for this course is August 26, 2012 (see the
university calendar for late registration deadlines and late
fee information, etc.). You are advised to review your
official class schedule during the first two weeks of the
semester and prior to the drop and withdrawal dates to ensure
that you are properly enrolled in this class and section.
University policy requires all students to be officially
registered in each class they are attending. Students who are
not officially registered for a course by published deadlines
should not be attending classes and will not receive credit or
a grade for the course.
3. Academic Honor Code: All students in the course are
expected to abide by the academic honor code, as specified in
the University's Policy Register. You should work
independently unless otherwise directed, such as during group
projects. Cheating or the use of other's intellectual property
without giving them appropriate credit is a serious academic
offense. This includes copying answers or misrepresenting the
source, nature or other conditions of your academic work to
get undeserved credit. At a minimum, students caught
cheating during exams will receive a midterm grade of zero,
which will count for 50% of their average midterm score, and
the incident will be reported to the university. It is
the University's policy that cheating or plagiarism can result
in receiving a failing grade for the course or other more
serious disciplinary action depending on the nature of the
offense. Repeat offenses can result in dismissal from the
University. For complete information see the: Kent State
University Policy Register, Chap. 3, section 3-01-8
4. Withdrawal: For Fall term, the last day to drop a class
before a grade of W is applied is November 4, 2012. Withdrawal
from any or all courses is permitted up to the withdrawal date
for the semester, or until the prorated deadline for flexibly
scheduled sections. After that time, students are considered
to be committed to all remaining courses and must complete
them. If students are unable to complete the semester because
of extreme circumstances that first occur after the deadline,
students should consult their college or campus dean's office.
No approval is required to withdraw from a course during the
withdrawal period. For more information on withdrawal dates
see: http://www.kent.edu/registrar/calendars/stu_important_fall.cfm.
5. Students with Documented Accommodation needs: Students who
require health-related accommodations to obtain equal access
to this course must verify their eligibility through the

located on the ground floor of the DeWeese Health Center
(330-672-3391 or http://www.kent.edu/sas).
In accordance with University policy, if you have a documented
need for a health-related accommodation to obtain equal access
to this course, please contact the instructor at the beginning
of the semester or when given an assignment for which an
accommodation is required. If you have any questions regarding
a potential accommodation need, please contact the instructor
