J. GUIDELINES FOR FORMAT OF ASSIGNMENTS (ADJUSTED PER, BUT GENERALLY)
1. Papers should always be typed and stapled.
2. Papers should always have title pages listing assignment, date, course and instructor.
3. All pages should be numbered correctly.
4. Spell words correctly (use spell check, proofread papers!)
5. Assignments should be TURNED IN ON TIME. Papers may not be accepted late, and in the
case when they are accepted, one letter grade per day late will be deducted.
6. Double space when appropriate
7. As necessary: Include Table of Contents
8. As necessary: Label different sections of the paper
9. (Indicate other expectations or guidelines)

!
!

These guidelines will help your work become more professional. These skills are expected in the
work environment for reports, projects, etc. Unprofessional appearance of work will be graded
accordingly.

K. WITHDRAWAL POLICY
The grade of “W” (Withdrawal) is awarded in cases where unusual circumstances render the
successful completion of course work an impossibility for an indefinite period.

!
!
!
!
!
!

The schedule for course changes, including withdrawal, is listed on the University website
and published by the Office of the Registrar. Courses may be added or dropped from a
student’s academic schedule online or by completing a Schedule Change form.
After the period specified, the faculty member has the option to give a grade of “W” or “F,”
up to and including the last day to withdraw. Schedule Change forms may be obtained from
the Office of the Registrar. Should a “W” or “F” be placed on a student’s record, it remains a
permanent part of that record.
International students must contact the University’s International Student Office before
initiating a course withdrawal.
Because current and future financial aid may be jeopardized by processing a “W” or “F,”
students are advised to consult the Office of Financial Aid prior to completing the transaction.

L. “I” GRADE POLICY
Students who do not complete a course by the end of the term may request and may be granted,
at the instructor’s discretion, an "I" (Incomplete). The "I" in a given course must be completed
within a period of time set by the instructor. This time period should not exceed one year from the
end of the semester in which the course was taken. Circumstances may dictate policy exceptions.

!
!

An Incomplete Grade Request form detailing the conditions under which the "I" is permitted must
be signed by both the student and the instructor. If the agreed upon conditions are not fulfilled, the
"I" grade will be changed to the grade stipulated in section V of the Incomplete Grade Request
form. The student is responsible for contacting the instructor and ensuring that all expectations in
regard to removal of an "I" grade and the completion of a change of grade form are met. The
instructor will complete the change of grade form when all expectations are met.

M. POINT PARK UNIVERSITY POLICY ON PLAGIARISM
Any student found guilty of a breach of ethics will be subject to dismissal from the University.
Breach of ethics includes, but is not limited to plagiarism (the copying of other’s ideas and passing
them off as one’s own); copying or other forms of cheating on examinations, papers, and reports;
the sale, purchase, or distribution of term papers. It is within an instructor’s discretion to impose a
lesser penalty, e.g., “zero” grade on a given assignment. Instructors should take care to document
incidents precisely and notify their department chairperson without delay.

!

N. POINT PARK UNIVERSITY LIBRARY RESOURCES AND COMPUTER LABS

24/7 through the Library’s web page and if you’re off campus, you can access the databases and

 ! J. GUIDELINES FOR FORMAT OF ASSIGNMENTS (ADJUSTED PER, BUT GENERALLY) 1. Papers should always be typed and stapled. 2. Papers should always have title pages listing assignment, date, course and instructor. 3. All pages should be numbered correctly. 4. Spell words correctly (use spell check, proofread papers!) 5. Assignments should be TURNED IN ON TIME. Papers may not be accepted late, and in the case when they are accepted, one letter grade per day late will be deducted. 6. Double space when appropriate 7. As necessary: Include Table of Contents 8. As necessary: Label different sections of the paper 9. (Indicate other expectations or guidelines) ! ! These guidelines will help your work become more professional. These skills are expected in the work environment for reports, projects, etc. Unprofessional appearance of work will be graded accordingly. K. WITHDRAWAL POLICY The grade of “W” (Withdrawal) is awarded in cases where unusual circumstances render the successful completion of course work an impossibility for an indefinite period. ! ! ! ! ! ! The schedule for course changes, including withdrawal, is listed on the University website and published by the Office of the Registrar. Courses may be added or dropped from a student’s academic schedule online or by completing a Schedule Change form. After the period specified, the faculty member has the option to give a grade of “W” or “F,” up to and including the last day to withdraw. Schedule Change forms may be obtained from the Office of the Registrar. Should a “W” or “F” be placed on a student’s record, it remains a permanent part of that record. International students must contact the University’s International Student Office before initiating a course withdrawal. Because current and future financial aid may be jeopardized by processing a “W” or “F,” students are advised to consult the Office of Financial Aid prior to completing the transaction. L. “I” GRADE POLICY Students who do not complete a course by the end of the term may request and may be granted, at the instructor’s discretion, an "I" (Incomplete). The "I" in a given course must be completed within a period of time set by the instructor. This time period should not exceed one year from the end of the semester in which the course was taken. Circumstances may dictate policy exceptions. ! ! An Incomplete Grade Request form detailing the conditions under which the "I" is permitted must be signed by both the student and the instructor. If the agreed upon conditions are not fulfilled, the "I" grade will be changed to the grade stipulated in section V of the Incomplete Grade Request form. The student is responsible for contacting the instructor and ensuring that all expectations in regard to removal of an "I" grade and the completion of a change of grade form are met. The instructor will complete the change of grade form when all expectations are met. M. POINT PARK UNIVERSITY POLICY ON PLAGIARISM Any student found guilty of a breach of ethics will be subject to dismissal from the University. Breach of ethics includes, but is not limited to plagiarism (the copying of other’s ideas and passing them off as one’s own); copying or other forms of cheating on examinations, papers, and reports; the sale, purchase, or distribution of term papers. It is within an instructor’s discretion to impose a lesser penalty, e.g., “zero” grade on a given assignment. Instructors should take care to document incidents precisely and notify their department chairperson without delay. ! N.
