Administrative Home
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is the administrative
home of this course and governs matters such as the add/drop
deadlines, the second-grade-only option, and other related
issues. Different colleges may have different policies.
Questions may be addressed to 120 Schaeffer Hall, or see the
CLAS
Student Academic Handbook.
Electronic Communication
University policy specifies that students are
responsible for all official correspondences sent to their
University of Iowa e-mail address (@uiowa.edu). Faculty and
students should use this account for correspondences. (Operations
Manual, III.15.2.
Scroll down to k.11.)
Accommodations for Disabilities
A student seeking academic accommodations should first register with Student Disability Services and then meet privately with the course instructor to make particular arrangements. See www.uiowa.edu/~sds/ for more information.
Academic Fraud
Plagiarism and any other activities when students
present work that is not their own are academic fraud. Academic
fraud is a serious matter and is reported to the departmental
DEO and to the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs and
Curriculum. Instructors and DEOs decide on appropriate
consequences at the departmental level while the Associate Dean
enforces additional consequences at the collegiate level. See
the CLAS Academic Fraud section of the Student
Academic
Handbook.
CLAS Final Examination Policies
Final exams may be offered only during finals week. No exams of any kind are allowed during the last week of classes. Students should not ask their instructor to reschedule a final exam since the College does not permit rescheduling of a final exam once the semester has begun. Questions should be addressed to the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs and Curriculum.
Making a Suggestion or a Complaint
Students with a suggestion or complaint should first
visit the instructor, then the course supervisor, and then the
departmental DEO. Complaints must be made within six months of
the incident. See the CLAS Student
Academic
Handbook.
Understanding Sexual
Harassment
Sexual harassment subverts the mission of the University and threatens the well-being of students, faculty, and staff. All members of the UI community have a responsibility to uphold this mission and to contribute to a safe environment that enhances learning. Incidents of sexual harassment should be reported immediately. See the UI Comprehensive Guide on Sexual Harassment for assistance, definitions, and the full University policy.
Reacting Safely to Severe Weather
In severe weather, class members should seek
appropriate shelter immediately, leaving the classroom if
necessary. The class will continue if possible when the event is
over. For more information on Hawk Alert and the siren warning
system, visit the Public Safety web
site.
