VII. UNIVERSITY NOTICES Honor Pledge All work submitted for this course is subject to the University’s Academic Integrity Policy available in the Student Handbook and the University’s Honor Pledge, printed below:
I have read and understand Strayer University’s Academic Integrity Policy. I promise to conduct myself with integrity in the submission of all academic work to the University and will not give or receive unauthorized assistance for the completion of assignments, research papers, examinations or other work. I understand that violations of the Academic Integrity Policy will lead to disciplinary action against me, up to and including suspension or expulsion from the University. I understand that all students play a role in preserving the academic integrity of the University and have an obligation to report violations of the Academic Integrity Policy committed by other students.
Academic Integrity 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, the unauthorized use of instructor editions of textbooks, taking an exam for another student or having another student take an exam intended for oneself, 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 and plagiarizing.
Course Participation Guidelines for Students The University encourages open discussion within its courses and often asks students to draw from personal experiences in their responses to course assignments. Though such information should be used only for educational purposes, the University cannot guarantee that such information will remain confidential. Students are responsible for knowing the applicable polices of their employers and others with regard to the sharing of confidential information and using appropriate discretion. Additional care should be used when posting to online discussion boards where written comments are preserved. The University is not legally responsible for any inappropriate postings through its online discussion boards (i.e. those that violate University policy, defame another person, etc.). In order to preserve an open discussion within the classroom environment, students may choose to not specifically identify their current or previous employers by name or withhold other similar identifying information. Questions or concerns regarding this policy should be directed to the course instructor or the applicable Campus Dean, Strayer University Online Dean of Students (title?) or the Dean of Student Affairs.
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.
