University Rules and Procedures

Disability statement (See Student Handbook):

Students with disabilities, including learning disabilities, who wish to request accommodations in class should

register with the Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) early in the semester so that appropriate

arrangements may be made. In accordance with federal laws, a student requesting special accommodations must provide documentation of their disability to the SSD coordinator.

Academic misconduct (See Student Handbook):

You are expected to practice academic honesty in every aspect of this course and all other courses. Make sure you

are familiar with your Student Handbook, especially the section on academic misconduct. Students who engage in

academic misconduct are subject to university disciplinary procedures.

Forms of academic dishonesty:

1. Cheating: deception in which a student misrepresents that he/she has mastered information on an

academic exercise that he/she has not mastered; giving or receiving aid unauthorized by the instructor on

assignments or examinations.

2. Academic misconduct: tampering with grades or taking part in obtaining or distributing any part of a

scheduled test.

3. Fabrication: use of invented information or falsified research.

4. Plagiarism: unacknowledged quotation and/or paraphrase of someone else’s words, ideas, or data as

one’s own in work submitted for credit. Failure to identify information or essays from the Internet and

submitting them as one’s own work also constitutes plagiarism.

Nonacademic misconduct (See Student Handbook) The university respects the rights of instructors to teach and students to learn. Maintenance of these rights requires

campus conditions that do not impede their exercise. Campus behavior that interferes with either (1) the instructor’s

ability to conduct the class, (2) the inability of other students to profit from the instructional program, or (3) campus

behavior that interferes with the rights of others will not be tolerated. An individual engaging in such disruptive

behavior may be subject to disciplinary action. Such incidents will be adjudicated by the Dean of Students under nonacademic procedures.

Sexual misconduct (See Student Handbook):

Sexual harassment of students and employers at Prairie View A&M University is unacceptable and will not be

tolerated. Any member of the university community violating this policy will be subject to disciplinary action.

Attendance Policy:

Prairie View A&M University requires regular class attendance. Excessive absences will result in lowered grades.

Excessive absenteeism, whether excused or unexcused, may result in a student’s course grade being reduced or in

assignment of a grade of “F”. Absences are accumulated beginning with the first day of class.

Student Academic Appeals Process

Authority and responsibility for assigning grades to students rests with the faculty. However, in those instances

where students believe that miscommunication, errors, or unfairness of any kind may have adversely affected the

instructor's assessment of their academic performance, the student has a right to appeal by the procedure listed in

the Undergraduate Catalog and by doing so within thirty days of receiving the grade or experiencing any other problematic academic event that prompted the complaint.

Class Attendance Policy Effective September 1, 1998

Class Attendance Prairie View A&M University requires regular class attendance. Attending all classes supports full academic

development of each learner whether classes are taught with the instructor physically present or via distance learning

technologies such as interactive video. Excessive absenteeism, whether EXCUSED or UNEXCUSED, may result in a

student’s course grade being reduced or in a student’s being assigned a grade of “F.” Absences are accumulated

beginning with the first day of class during regular semesters and summer terms. Each faculty member will include the University’s attendance policy in each course syllabus.

Excused Absences Students are required to attend all class meetings. Absences due to illness, attendance at university approved activities,

and family or other emergencies constitute EXCUSED ABSENCES and must be supported by documentation presented

to the instructor prior to or immediately upon the student’s return to class. Students are responsible for all oral and

written examinations as well as all assignments (e.g., projects, papers, reports) whether absence is Excused or Unexcused.

Unexcused Absences Accumulation of one week of unexcused absences (for the number of clock hour’s equivalent to the credit for the course)

constitutes excessive absenteeism. The instructor is not required to accept assignments as part of the course requirement

when the student’s absence is unexcused. Each course syllabus will include a clear statement relative to whether late or past due assignments will be accepted toward satisfying the course requirements.

A student who believes that the penalty received following violation of this attendance policy is unjust may first confer

with his/her academic advisor. If necessary, the matter may be appealed in writing to the course instructor, the

instructor’s department head, and finally, to the instructor’s dean who must refer the matter to the Chair, Admissions and Academic Standards Committee if it cannot be resolved within the college offering the course.

Absences on Religious Holy Days In accordance with Texas Education Code, Section 61.003, subdivision (7), a student may be absent from classes for the

observance of a religious holy day and will be permitted to take missed examinations and complete missed a ssignments

provided the student has notified the instructor of the planned absence in writing and receipt of that notice has been

acknowledged by the instructor in writing. “A religious holy day means a holy day observed by a religion whose place of worship is exempt from property taxation under the Texas Tax Code, Section 11.20.”

Please be advised that cheating and plagiarism will not be tolerated in the Department of Health and Human

Performance. Please read, sign and date this form. Thank you, in advance, for your cooperation.

The Definition of Cheating

Cheating is defined as using, or supplying information that is not authorized by the instructor in taking an

examination or completing assignments assigned by the instructor. Cheating is also turning in someone else’s

work as that of your own.

The Definition of Plagiarism

Plagiarism is a unique form of cheating where a person turns in someone else’s work and represents it as being

their own. This would include: 1. Purchasing term papers and turning them in as if they were original work. 2.

Using a paper that had previously been turned in. 3. Copying passages verbatim from books, articles, etc. 4.

Submitting material for grades in which the student has not done the work required.

Consequences of these actions are severe, ranging from failure of the assignment to failure of the course.

Repeated offenses could even result in expulsion.

I have read and understand the above policy.

I have received a copy of the syllabus for this course.
