Excused absences will be handled on an individual basis. • Students must be in attendance on the day scheduled for the final exam. • Assignments are due at the designated time, even if you will be or were absent. There is a two- day grace period for late work. Any late work handed in after the grace work will not be accepted. • Do not be late for class. Tardiness will not be tolerated. It is disruptive to your peers and the discussions. The classroom door will be locked during class. • The instructor reserves the right to remove anyone causing disruptions or showing disrespect to others in the class. The first offense will result in expulsion from that class period. A second offense will result in the students’ permanent removal from the class and a grade of F for the semester. Disruptions include: o Any use of cell phone or any other electronic device (tablets, net books, or laptop computers, I-pads, Ipods, etc.) during class o Using the computer for gaming, chatting or activities other than the program required for class ▪ The instructor reserves the right to interpret and declare what is considered disruptive or disrespectful behavior. Examples may include but are not limited to • Disruptive talking • Listening to music or sports utilizing an electronic device via ear buds • Watching videos during class Student Email Policy: Dakota College at Bottineau is increasingly dependent upon email as an official form of communication. A student’s campus-assigned email 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 email rests with the student. Academic Integrity: Students are responsible for submitting their own work. Students who cooperate on oral or written examinations or work without authorization share the responsibility for violation of academic principles and the students are subject to disciplinary action even when one of the students is not enrolled in the course where the violation occurred. (Student handbook p.19) • Students will receive no credit for work that fails to meet standards of academic integrity. • If a person participates in academic dishonesty more than once, the result will be an F for the course. • The use of templates or other pre-made layouts will result in an F for the assignment. • The instructor reserves the right to interpret and declare what is considered cheating on a case- by-case basis. Disabilities and Special Needs: If you have a disability for which you need accommodation, contact me within the first week of the semester. Disability support services are available, please visit with Jackie Migler. Midterm and Final Exam: Students must be in attendance on the day scheduled for the mid-term and final exams. Failing to be present will result in an F on the final exam. Refer to the Policy and Procedure document titled “Student Requests for Change in Final Examination Schedule.”
