The
Following Policies Apply to All Students in this Course
A.
Students attending the course who do not have the proper
prerequisite risk being deregistered from the class.
B.
Students have responsibility to ensure they are properly
enrolled in classes. You are advised to
review your official class schedule (using Web for Students) during the first
two weeks of the semester to ensure you are properly enrolled in this class and
section. Should you find an error in
your class schedule, you have until Saturday, January 24th, 2004 to correct the
error with your advising office. If
registration errors are not corrected by this date and you continue to attend
and participate in classes for which you are not officially enrolled, you are
advised now that you will not receive
a grade at the conclusion of the semester for any class in which you are not
properly registered.
C.
Academic Honesty:
Cheating means to misrepresent the source, nature, or other conditions
of your academic work (e.g., tests, papers, projects, assignments) so as to get
undeserved credit. The use of the
intellectual property of others without giving them appropriate credit is a
serious academic offense. It is the
University's policy that cheating or plagiarism result in receiving a failing
grade for the work or course. Repeat
offenses result in dismissal from the University.
D.
For Spring 2004, the course withdrawal deadline is Saturday,
January 24th, 2004. Withdrawal before
the deadline results in a "W" on the official transcript; after the
deadline a grade must be calculated and reported.
E.
Students with disabilities:
In accordance with University policy, if you have a documented
disability and require accommodations to obtain equal access in this course,
please contact the instructor at the beginning of the semester or when given an
assignment for which an accommodation is required. Students with disabilities must verify their
eligibility through the Office of Student Disability Services (SDS) in the
Michael Schwartz Service Center (672-3391).
