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
All CLAS students have, in essence, agreed to the
College's Code
of Academic Honesty: "I pledge to do my own academic work
and to excel to the best of my abilities, upholding the IOWA
Challenge. I promise not to lie about my academic work, to
cheat, or to steal the words or ideas of others; nor will I help
fellow students to violate the Code of Academic Honesty." Any
student committing academic misconduct is reported to the College
and placed on disciplinary probation or may be suspended or
expelled (CLAS
Academic Policies Handbook).
CLAS Final
Examination Policies
The final examination schedule for each class is
announced around the fifth week of the semester by the Registrar.
Final exams are offered only during the official final examination
period. No exams of any kind are allowed during the last
week of classes. All students should plan on being at
the UI through the final examination period. Once the Registrar
has announced the dates and times of each final exam, the complete
schedule will be published on the Registrar's web site.
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
Department of Public Safety web site.
