INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATES
Absences and Attendance
Students
are responsible for attending class and for contributing to
the learning environment of a course. Students are also
responsible for knowing their course absence policies, which
will vary by instructor. All absence policies, however, must
uphold the UI policy related to student illness, mandatory
religious obligations, including Holy Day obligations,
military service obligations, unavoidable circumstances or
University authorized activities Students may use the CLAS
absence form to aid communication with the instructor who will
decide if the absence is excused or unexcused. The form is on
ICON in the top banner under "Student Tools.” More information
is at https://clas.uiowa.edu/students/handbook/attendance-absences.
Academic Integrity
All
undergraduates enrolled in courses offered by CLAS have, in
essence, agreed to the College's Code of
Academic Honesty. Misconduct is reported to the
College, resulting in suspension or other sanctions, with
sanctions communicated with the student through UI email.
Visit this page for information: (https://clas.uiowa.edu/students/handbook/academic-fraud-honor-code).
Accommodations for Disabilities
UI
is committed to an educational experience that is accessible
to all students. A student may request academic accommodations
for a disability (such as mental health, attention, learning,
vision, and physical or health-related condition) by
registering with Student Disability Services (SDS). The
student is then responsible for discussing specific
accommodations with the instructor. More information is at https://sds.studentlife.uiowa.edu/.
Administrative Home of the
Course
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) is
the administrative home of this course and governs its
add/drop deadlines, the second-grade-only option, and related
policies. Other colleges may have different policies. CLAS
policies may be found here: https://clas.uiowa.edu/students/handbook.
Class Behavioral Expectations
Students
are expected to comply with University policies regarding
appropriate classroom behavior as outlined in the Code of
Student Life. This
includes the policies and procedures that all students have
agreed to regarding the Steps Forward for Fall 2020 in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Particularly,
all
students are required to wear a face covering when in a UI
building, including a classroom. In addition, the density of
seats in classrooms has been reduced; in some instances, this
will allow 6 feet or more between students while other cases,
it may be less. Regardless, wearing a face covering and
maintaining as much distance as possible are vital to slowing
the spread of COVID-
19.
In the event that a student disrupts the classroom environment
through their failure to comply with the reasonable directive
of an instructor or the University, the instructor has the
authority to ask that the student immediately leave the space
for the remainder of the class period. Additionally, the
instructor is asked to report the incident to the Office
of Student Accountability for the possibility
of additional follow-up. Students who need a temporary
alternative learning arrangement related to COVID-19
expectations should contact Student Disability Services
arrangements/; +1 319 335-1462)

(https://sds.studentlife.uiowa.edu/fall-2020/covid-19-temporary-learning- arrangements/.
Class Recordings: Privacy and Sharing
Some
sessions of a course could be recorded or live-streamed. Such
a recording or streaming will only be available to students
registered for the course. These recordings are the
intellectual property of the faculty, and they may not be
shared or reproduced without the explicit written consent of
the faculty member. Students may not share these sessions with
those not in the class; likewise, students may not upload
recordings to any other online environment. Doing so is a
breach of the Code of Student Conduct and, in some cases, a
violation of the Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act
(FERPA).
Communication and the Required Use of UI Email
Students
are responsible for official correspondences sent to the UI
email address (uiowa.edu) and must use this address for all
communication within UI (Operations Manual, III.15.2).
Complaints
Students
with a complaint about an academic issue should first visit
with the instructor or course supervisor and then with the
Chair of the department or program offering the course;
students may next bring the issue to the College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences; see this page for more information: https://clas.uiowa.edu/students/handbook/student-rights-responsibilities.
Final Examination Policies
The
final exam schedule is announced around the fifth week of
classes; students are responsible for knowing the date, time,
and location of a final exam. Students should not make travel
plans until knowing this information. No exams of any kind are
allowed the week before finals with very few exceptions made
(for labs, ESL and some world language courses, and off-cycle
courses): https://registrar.uiowa.edu/final-examination-scheduling-policies.
Nondiscrimination in the Classroom
The
University
of Iowa is committed to making the classroom a respectful and
inclusive space for people
of all gender, sexual, racial, religious, and other
identities. Toward this goal, students are invited in MyUI to optionally share the names and
pronouns they would like their instructors and advisors to use
to address them. The University of Iowa prohibits
discrimination and harassment against individuals on the basis
of race, class, gender, sexual orientation, national origin,
and other identity categories set forth in the University’s Human Rights policy. For more information, contact the Office
of Equal Opportunity and Diversity (https://diversity.uiowa.edu/eod; +1 319 335-0705 or (diversity.uiowa.edu).
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 must uphold the UI mission and contribute to a
safe environment that enhances learning. Incidents of sexual
harassment must be reported immediately. For assistance,
please see https://osmrc.uiowa.edu/.
Exams and Quizzes will be through Icon
The
Respondus tools for which UI has
licenses have three components: the Lock Down Browser,
Monitor, and Respondus Monitor:
This is the software which uses a webcam to monitor the
students while taking the test.
It is therefore important to make sure that your webcam
works or purchase a webcam, if you don’t have one. Lockdown
browser is only available for Windows and Mac. Chromebook
version is unavailable. To download the Lockdown Browser,
