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.
