Absentee Policy.
You are expected to attend every course meeting. Five or more absences may lead to a student getting dropped from the course with a grade of "WF" assigned.
Academic Withdrawal. From the student handbook:
To leave the university with a clear record at times other than at the end of a semester students must complete a "withdrawal form." This form, which includes instructions, is available in the Office of the Registrar, Richards Hall.Any course dropped after August 23 becomes a part of your academic record. After that date and until mid-term (October 15), a grade of "W" will be assigned for withdrawal forms submitted to the Registrar. A grade of "WF" will be assigned for withdrawal forms received after mid-term. The student is responsible for completing the paperwork and submitting it to the Registrar's Office.
Students with Disabilities.
If you have a documented disability, as described by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), it is recommended that you contact the Office of Disability Services at (706)568-2330 no later than the second day of class. This office will assist you in arranging appropriate accommodations with the instructor.
Retention of Graded Materials.
Students' papers and final exams will be archived until the end of the mid term of the following semester. At that time, any papers not picked up by the student will be discarded.
Cheating and Plagiarism.
Cheating and plagiarism are serious offenses and will not be tolerated. Plagiarism is tha act of presenting someone else's work as your own (this someone may be another student, a tutor , a member of the faculty, or an author). Any student caught cheating or committing plagiarism will be subject to disciplinary action. Disciplinary actions may include the assignment of a zero for the grade, receipt of a "WF" or "F" for the course grade, and/or other actions consistent with the policies of the university.
