Student E-mail Policy:
Dakota College is increasingly dependent upon e-mail as an official form of communication. A
student’s campus assigned e-mail address will be the only one recognized by the campus for
official mailings. The liability for missing or not acting upon important information conveyed via
campus e-mail rests with the student.
Classroom Policies
:
All students will respect the classroom environment which will allow for maximum interaction
between students and the professor.
Lab policies:
Labs in this class are a privilege. Violation of school procedures regarding student
conduct will not be tolerated. Many of the labs are all day field trips and you will be exempt
from other classes. However, this does not exempt you from the work that is missed for those
classes. All missed work from classes missed because of lab will be made up per arrangements
with the other instructors. Students that violate this will miss out on future field trips. Labs are
repeated around the same time each year.
Academic Integrity
:
All students will do their own, original work on reports, laboratory assignments, and essays.
Any student caught cheating on an exam or quiz will be reprimanded the first time. If it happens
again, the student will drop the class.
Disabilities and Special Needs
: Please inform the professor within the first week of classes if
any assistance is required due to disabilities or special needs.
