Attendance Policy

Students are expected to attend all regularly scheduled classes.  Should absences be necessary, students are responsible for the material covered during the absences.  Faculty cannot grant requests for excessive amounts of make-up material, and they may request written documentation detailing the reason for the absences.

 

Excessive absences make it almost impossible for a student to meet the academic objectives of a course; they frequently cause a student to receive a lower grade, even though, the absences were unavoidable.

 

Strayer University requires all faculty to take attendance during each class period and to records it accurately on their permanent roster.  This data is available for verification of attendance by the appropriate governmental agencies and educational accrediting organizations.

 

A student who is absent from four consecutive class meetings, excluding holidays and emergency cancellation of classes, will be withdrawn automatically from that course.  A student will be withdrawn automatically from a mini-session course when he/she misses two consecutively scheduled class meetings.

 

Policy on Assignment Due Dates

Strayer University’s academic philosophy is to provide each adult student with an opportunity to actively learn and demonstrate competencies needed in today’s high performance workplace.  Opportunities will be made available for you to reach your maximum learning potential.  Just as in the workplace, it is expected that you will complete all assignments and assessments by the due date.  You instructor may deduct credit for assignments turned in after the due date.

 

Academic Integrity Policy

Strayer University holds its students to high standards of academic integrity and will not tolerate acts of falsification, misrepresentation, or deception.  Such acts of intellectual dishonesty include, but are not limited to, cheating or copying, fabricating data or citations, stealing examinations, unauthorized use of instructor editions of textbooks, taking an exam for another, tampering with the academic work of another student, submitting another’s work as one’s own, facilitating other students’ acts of academic dishonesty, using Internet sources without citation, or any other form of plagiarism.

 

For more details on Strayer University’s Academic Integrity Policy, please contact your Campus Academics Office.

 

Learning Resources / Library

Learning resources to help students succeed academically are available through the Strayer University Library.  Each campus Learning Resources Center (LRC) offers print resources, books, and periodicals for research.  Circulating books located at any LRC may be requested for use through the LRC Specialist. 

 

Library resources are also available online, and can be accessed from any computer connected to the Resource tab located on eCollege course web pages.  The online search tool EBSCO Host and other LRC resources can be accessed through the university’s website at http://studentserver.strayer.edu/CONT_STD/LIBS/libs2.htm.  They provide thousands of full text periodicals, over 25,000 electronic books, radio and TV transcripts, the complete Encyclopedia Britannica, access to the Strayer library catalog, online tutorials, and useful links to Internet resources.  A tour of the LRC is highly recommended and can be scheduled through your LRC Specialist.
