Class attendance is regarded as an obligation as well as a privilege; all students are expected to attend regularly and punctually all classes in which they are enrolled. Although faculty maintain attendance records for class, the responsibility for regular attendance and timely completion of course requirements rests with the student.
Consult the university calendar in the front of the current General
Catalogue for the last day to drop a course or resign from the University
without a grade penalty. (Also see class schedule.)
Conduct:
Students are expected to comply with “Standards of Conduct” as outlined in the SLU Student Handbook. Failure to comply with these standards may result in review by the appropriate disciplinary agency on campus and disciplinary action taken. Academic honesty is an expectation of all students. Refer to the SLU Catalogue.
Classroom Decorum:
"Free discussion, inquiry, and expression is encouraged in this class. Classroom behavior that interferes with either (a) the instructor's ability to conduct the class or (b) the ability of students to benefit from the instruction is not acceptable. Examples may include routinely entering class late or departing early; use of beepers, cellular phones, or other electronic devices; repeatedly talking in class without being recognized; talking while others are speaking; or arguing in a way that is perceived as "crossing the civility line." In the event of a situation where a student legitimately needs to carry a beeper/cellular phone to class, prior notice and approval of the instructor is required. Classroom behavior which is determined inappropriate and cannot be resolved by the student and the faculty member may be referred for administrative or disciplinary review."
Academic Dishonesty:
Students who cheat on exams or commit plagiarism violate the Academic
Honesty Policy of the University and will receive an F (0 points) on the
test or assignment in question. In addition, they will be reported to the
Department Head of Biological Sciences, the Dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences and to the Office of the Dean of Students.
Students With Special Needs:
If you are a qualified student with a disability seeking accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act, you are required to self-identify with the appropriate university office. Please make your needs known to the instructor by the end of the first week of class. Verification of disability must be available upon request of the instructor.
