Grantham University is committed to ensuring that each student achieves the learning objectives outlined in each course. To that end, students are encouraged to log into their course(s) to routinely interact with their instructor and fellow students, regularly participate in group discussions, and complete and submit assignments in a timely fashion. Attendance in the First Week Students are required to log into each of their courses to establish attendance during the first week of the course (Wednesday 12:01 am Tuesday 11:59 pm EST). A student who fails to log into any course within the first seven (7) days of the term will be automatically dropped from the course(s). Attendance during the Term During the term, formal attendance is not taken, but will be tracked on a weekly basis. Each student is expected to abide by attendance and participation requirements according to the criteria outlined in the course syllabus. The instructor will determine if a students participation is sufficient to meet course requirements. A student may be administratively withdrawn (W) from the course if an instructor determines that a students participation is not sufficient to progress in the course. A student who is withdrawn will be subject to the Institutional Refund Policy. This course operates on a course week of Wednesday through Tuesday for 8 weeks. Days of the course week are as follows: Day 1 Wednesday Day 2 Thursday Day 3 Friday Day 4 Saturday Day 5 Sunday Day 6 Monday Day 7 Tuesday Students work at a rate that is comfortable for them within the course completion guidelines. In this course, each Lesson must be submitted by the due date to avoid late penalties up to and including no credit for excessively late work without prior approval. Please see the Course Policies for more information. In order to maintain satisfactory progress, you must complete the course according to the terms in your enrollment contract. You may, of course, work at a faster pace and complete the course in less than the prescribed time frame, but you must complete the course within eight weeks. Note: Students receiving a grade of "F" are required to re-enroll in the course, paying all applicable tuition and other fees effective on the date of reenrollment. Academic Integrity Academic Integrity

Academic Integrity Effective learning, teaching and research--all depend on the ability of members in an academic community to trust one another and to trust the integrity of the work that is submitted in courses for academic credit. When such an atmosphere of mutual trust exists, the free exchange of ideas is fostered, and all members of the community are able to work toward achieving their highest potential. In all academic work, it is important that the ideas and contributions of others be appropriately acknowledged, and that work presented as original, is in fact--original. Ensuring the honesty and fairness of the intellectual environment at Grantham University is a responsibility shared by faculty, students, and administrative staff. Higher education tradition and professional excellence demand that truth be valued in all of our interactions. Grantham University believes that every persons education represents his/her own intellectual efforts. Students are expected to adhere to the highest standards of behavior, and the vast majority of Grantham University students do so. Thus, no intellectual community can maintain its integrity or be faithful to its members if violations of its central purpose are tolerated. Any student who engages in the following behaviors of academic dishonesty will be subject to disciplinary action upon the first infraction that can range in consequences from a) censure or failure of the assignment/course to b) more serious consequences of suspension or dismissal of the student from one or more courses to c) the most severe consequence that may affect the students entire program of study at the University. Violation of the Code of Conduct will be noted in the permanent student record and may, where applicable, be disclosed to the appropriate external authorities. Guidelines for Instructors Instructors, who suspect a student has committed plagiarism or cheated, will follow established guidelines for detecting, documenting, and reporting. (Endorsed by Academic Council 2/11/2010) A student suspected of plagiarism and/or cheating will receive notification from his/her instructor citing the resources used to document the offense. Resources may include, but are not limited to: Web search engines Common sites used by students for the purpose of plagiarism Plagiarism detection sites or applications Assignments submitted by other students with whom collusion appears to have taken place

A copy of the notification will also be submitted to the appropriate Dean. A student has 48 hours to respond in writing to the course instructor of record regarding the allegation. Instructors will apply consequences to the student assignment and/or course grades according to suggested guidelines which can range from resubmitting an assignment for half points possible to failing the course. If a student has two documented cases, either within the same course or from two different courses, the Dean/Chair may intervene and choose to refer the issue to the Academic Standards Committee for review. If the case is substantiated, consequences could include suspension and/or expulsion from the University.
