Student participation is essential. Students are responsible for all material covered in each week. Student interaction is central to the learning experience and imparts critical knowledge and skills to all concerned. If a student misses more than one week of class participation without prior faculty approval, the facilitator may assign a failing grade.
Occasionally, work, health, and family obligations have priority over course work. If you experience these issues, please notify the facilitator in advance. If an assignment is due, please make every effort to submit your assignment on time. In the case of a negotiated absence or delay, assignments turned in by the agreed upon due date will receive full credit. If you have not negotiated with the facilitator, assignments turned in late will be graded, and then reduced by 25%, unless excused by Facilitator. Assignments will not be accepted later than one week after due date.
In the spirit of the Jesuit mission of Regis University, School for Professional Advancement students and faculty share responsibility for maintaining an appropriate learning environment. This includes using information technology responsibly in online and other courses. In order for faculty members to provide and students to receive effective instruction in classrooms, laboratories, online courses, and other learning areas, the school and the faculty expect students to conduct themselves in an orderly and cooperative manner and not engage in disruptive behavior, disorderly conduct or intentionally interfere in the freedom of expression of others.
“Disruptive Behavior” or “Disorderly Conduct” as applied in all academic settings and formats (i.e., classroom, online, independent study, etc.) means behavior that a reasonable faculty member or student would view as intentionally or recklessly interfering with normal academic functions, university events, or university sponsored activities. Examples include, but are not limited to: persistently speaking or commenting without being recognized or interrupting other speakers; behavior that distracts the class from the subject matter or discussion; or, in extreme cases, physical threats, harassing behavior or personal insults; refusal to comply with faculty direction including refusal to work in a group, using a cell phone or pager during a classroom session, inappropriate mediated communication; or behavior that has a negative impact in any learning environment.
Disruptive behavior also includes any other behavior covered by the Regis University Student Handbook: Code of Conduct. Students who fail to adhere to acceptable behavioral standards may be subject to discipline which may include reprimand, dismissal from the class and/or expulsion from the School for Professional Advancement. Students who wish to appeal a decision regarding the consequences of their behavior should follow the Appeal Process outlined in the Regis University Student Handbook.
