Course Expectations
Course Activities
and Experiences:
Students are expected to:
• Review any assigned reading material and prepare responses
to homework assigned.
• Actively participate in activities, assignments, and
discussions.
• Evaluate and react to each other’s work in a supportive,
constructive manner.
• Complete specific assignments and exams when specified and
in a professional manner.
• Utilize learned technologies for class assignments.
• Connect content knowledge from core courses to practical
training placement and activities.
Academic Integrity: At a Christian liberal arts university
committed to the pursuit of truth and understanding, any act of
academic
dishonesty is especially distressing and cannot be tolerated. In
general, academic dishonesty involves the abuse
and misuse of information or people to gain an undeserved
academic advantage or evaluation. The common
forms of academic dishonesty include:
• Cheating – using deception in the taking of tests or the
preparation of written work, using unauthorized
materials, copying another person’s work with or without
consent, or assisting another in such activities.

4. 2
• Lying – falsifying, fabricating, or forging information in
either written, spoken, or video presentations.
• Plagiarism—using the published writings, data,
interpretations, or ideas of another without proper
documentation
Plagiarism includes copying and pasting material from the
internet into assignments without properly
citing the source of the material.
Episodes of academic dishonesty are reported to the Vice
President for Academic Affairs. The potential
penalty for academic dishonesty includes a failing grade on a
particular assignment, a failing grade for the
entire course, or charges against the student with the
appropriate disciplinary body.
Attendance Policy: When any student has exceeded 20% of the
time prescribed for any class, that student will be automatically
dropped from that particular class with the grade of “F.” This
grade is placed on the official transcript of the
student and is treated as a failing grade in calculating the grade
point average. The definition of a class
absence is a student’s failure to attend class for any reason.
Instructors may count three times tardy or leaving
early to be equal to one class absence. There are no excused
absences, regardless of the reason for the class
having been missed. However, faculty will make reasonable
provisions to allow students to make up work if
the absence is due to a university-sponsored function or a
medical or family emergency that is documented in

5. a timely manner. Allowance for students to make up work for
other reasons is at each instructor’s discretion.
A class absence does not excuse the student from being
responsible for course work missed; the student is
responsible for contacting the faculty member in order to make
up class assignments. The Vice President for
Academic Affairs is the authorized agent to consider any
exceptions to the above regulations. (Undergraduate
Catalog)
Residency Attendance: Each student must be in attendance for
the entire duration of the required residency
weekend. Late arrivals and/or early departures are not
permitted. Punctuality is important as each student is
required to have the documented in-seat time per USCIS
regulations. If a student is not in attendance for
the full session, he/she will be counted absent for the entire
session, and receive an automatic “F” and
will be required to pay the $300.00 make-up fee and attend a
residency make-up session.
Disability
Accommodations:
University of the Cumberlands accepts students with certified
disabilities and provides reasonable
accommodations for their certified needs in the classroom, in
housing, in food service or in other areas. For
accommodations to be awarded, a student must submit a
completed Accommodations Application form and
provide documentation of the disability to the Disability
Services Coordinator (Mr. Jacob Ratliff, Boswell
Campus Center, Student Services Office Suite,
[email protected]). When all paperwork is on
file, a meeting between the student and the Coordinator will be

6. arranged to discuss possible accommodations
before accommodations are formally approved. Students must
then meet with the Coordinator at the beginning
of each semester before any academic accommodations can be
certified for that term. Certifications for other
accommodations are normally reviewed annually.
Student
Responsibilities:
• The only authorized electronic means of academic,
administrative, and co-curricular communication
between University of the Cumberlands and its students is
through the UCumberlands email system (i.e.
Webmail). Each student is responsible for monitoring his/her
University email account frequently. This
is the primary email account used to correspond with you
directly by the University; imperative program
information is sent to this email account specifically from
campus and program office.
• Students should check for e-mail and class announcements
using iLearn (primary) and University of the
Cumberlands webmail (secondary).
• Students are expected to find out class assignments for missed
classes and make up missed work.
• Students are expected to find out if any changes have been
made in the class or assignment schedule.
• Written work must be presented in a professional manner.
Work that is not
submitted in a professional manner will not be evaluated and
will be returned as unacceptable.
o There is a craft to writing. Spelling, grammar, punctuation
and diction (word usage) are all

7. tools of that craft. Writing at the collegiate level will show
careful attention to these
elements of craft. Work that does not exhibit care with regard
to these elements will be
considered as inadequate for college writing and graded
accordingly.
• Students are expected to take the examinations on the
designated dates. If you are unable to take the exam
on the scheduled date and know in advance, you are to make
arrangements with your professor before the
designated date. If you miss the exam, you must have a
legitimate reason as determined by your
professor.
Deadlines and Dues
Dates:
Recognizing that a large part of professional life is meeting
deadlines, it is necessary to develop time
management and organizational skills. Failure to meet the
course deadlines may result in penalties. Keep in
mind that all deadlines are set using Eastern Standard Time
(EST). Late assignments will NOT be accepted.
3
Writing
Expectations:
Learning outcomes for candidates’ writing competencies include
clarity of thought, discernment in planning
and organization, and integration of evidence and criteria.

8. • The instructor expects that students will have knowledge of
appropriate forms of documentation
and use it where appropriate. APA format is required and style
of notation to credit all sources
that are not your own.
• There is a craft to writing. Spelling, grammar, punctuation
and diction (word usage) are all tools of
that craft. Writing at the collegiate level will show careful
attention to these elements of craft.
Work that does not exhibit care with regard to these elements
will be considered as inadequate for
college writing and graded accordingly.
• All assignments, unless otherwise instructed, should be
submitted in APA format.
Participation Policy: Study after study has linked successful
academic performance with good class participation. Those
who
assume positions of responsibility must “show up” in order to
be effective. Therefore, students are expected
to actively participate in intelligent discussion of assigned
topics in all areas (Discussion Board Activities,
Synchronous Sessions, Forums, Shared Papers, etc.) to help
process course material and/or to demonstrate
understanding of course content. Point adjustments will be
taken for non-participation.
Academic Appeals: Both undergraduate and graduate students
have the right to challenge a grade. If discussions with the
course
instructor and department chair do not lead to a satisfactory
conclusion, students may file a formal written
appeal with the Vice President for Academic Affairs, who will

9. forward the appeal to the chair of the
Academic Appeals Committee. This formal written appeal must
be filed by the end of the 4th week of classes
in the next regular term following the term in which the course
in question was taken. The Academic Appeals
Committee then gathers information from the student, the
instructor, and any other relevant parties. The
Committee will deliver its recommendation on the complaint to
the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
After reviewing this recommendation and concurring or
amending it, the Vice President for Academic Affairs
will inform the student and instructor of the disposition of the
complaint no later than the last day of classes of
the term in which the complaint was filed. Records of all
actions regarding academic grade appeals, including
their final disposition, are maintained by the Vice President for
Academic Affairs and the Academic Appeals
Committee. (Undergraduate Catalog/Graduate Catalog)
