COURSE POLICIES
TWU Attendance Policy: Consistent and attentive attendance is vital to academic
success, and is expected of all students. Grades are determined by academic
performance, and instructors may give students written notice that attendance related to
specific classroom activities is required and will constitute a specific percentage of
students' grades.
Instructors are strongly encouraged to keep a record of student attendance. They should
note absences due to documented student illness, serious illness or death in the student's

immediate family, pregnancy or related conditions, official school activity, state-
recognized religious holiday, active military service that is of a reasonable brief duration,
or other verified absences deemed appropriate by the instructor. Students must consult
with instructors regarding the completion of make-up work.
Absences do not exempt students from academic requirements. Excessive absences, even
if documented, may result in a student failing the course. An incomplete may be
granted if the student has a passing grade, but only if the instructor determines that it is
feasible for the student to successfully complete remaining assignments after the
semester. Pursuant to university policy, such determinations are within the discretion of
the instructor.

University and to the development of the personal integrity of students. In submitting
graded assignments, students affirm that they have neither given nor received
unauthorized assistance, and that they have abided by all other provisions of the Code
of Conduct in the TWU Student Handbook. Cheating, plagiarism, fabrication or other
kinds of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated and will result in appropriate
sanctions that may include failing an assignment, failing the class, or being suspended or
