These rules allow faculty members to fail a student for an assignment, a course, or to recommend dismissal from the University if the student is found guilty of academic dishonesty. All work is due at the beginning of class on the day scheduled on the syllabus. Any project not turned in within the first five minutes of class on the day it is due will be counted as late and will be penalized one letter grade. Papers will be penalized one letter grade for each succeeding day they are late. Students may from study groups before exams, but all work on exams must be their own.
Exams are to be taken the day they are scheduled.
Absences from exams must be scheduled in advance unless a documentable emergency makes such advance notification impossible. If a student is absent from an exam without a documentable emergency excuse, the student will receive a grade of 0 on the exam. Extra office hours will be scheduled prior to each exam for student consultation.
