Course Policies:

Grading Policy. Faculty members shall publish their grading policy for all students in their classes. This should include all criteria that may be involved in formulating a student's grade. If, for example, grades will be derived solely from test scores and class participation, then this should be published for students. (The policy requires that a copy of the grading policy for each class be on file in the Academic Affairs Office and that it be open to examination by students.)

Late policy. Each instructor determines their own late policy.

Student Attendance Policy. Regular class attendance is intended for all students. Specific attendance requirements vary. Each instructor determines their own attendance requirements and provides a written statement of them to each class during the first week of the semester. A copy of this statement is sent to the Academic Affairs Office and is open to examination by students.

Other optional policies and resources might include:

*Teaching and learning philosophy, instructional strategies

*Classroom etiquette, statement of classroom values, inclusive equitable, and safe place to learn

*Policy for online course work, discussion board participation, participation rubric.

*Strategies for success.

*NWU resources (pantry, counseling, diversity, cooper center).

University Policies:

Title IX Statement. 
Faculty fall into two categories for Title IX reporting: either they are a Campus Security Authority or a non-Campus Security Authority. A good indication that an instructor is considered a Campus Security Authority (CSA) is if they hold one or more of the following roles on campus: assistant dean, assistant director, athletic staff, club advisor, field director, dean, department chair, director, student organization advisor, Title IX investigator. Instructors can direct their questions related to CSA designations to Maria Harder (mharder [at] nebrwesleyan.edu (mharder[at]nebrwesleyan[dot]edu)) or Natasha Moreno (nmoreno [at] nebrwesleyan.edu (nmoreno[at]nebrwesleyan[dot]edu)).

Sexual Harassment and Sexual Misconduct Prevention and Response.

Policy Statement on the University’s Commitment to Students with Disabilities.
Nebraska Wesleyan University maintains a supportive academic environment for students with disabilities. To assist us in that effort, Federal law requires that students with disabilities notify the University, provide documentation, and request reasonable accommodations. If you need accommodations in this course, please contact Michael Cruce, Ph.D., Director of Student Accessibility Services (402-465-2149, mcruce [at] nebrwesleyan.edu (mcruce[at]nebrwesleyan[dot]edu)).

Statement on Academic Integrity. 
Academic integrity is one of the basic principles of a university community. Nebraska Wesleyan University encourages and expects the highest standards of academic honesty from all students. The Code of Student Conduct states that students found to have engaged in academic dishonesty, which encompasses such activities as cheating, plagiarism, unauthorized collaboration, and misrepresentation, are subject to disciplinary sanctions. Refer to Article V of the Code of Student Conduct for examples and definitions of academic dishonesty along with possible sanctions. Violations of academic integrity will result at least in the failure of the assignment and/or course and could result in the Student Conduct Board process.

Course Schedule:

This daily or weekly course schedule should include topics, assignments, exam dates, etc. according to faculty preferences.
