ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENT<\/span>:\u00a0<\/strong> Syracuse University sets high standards for academic integrity. Those standards are supported and enforced by students, including those who serve as academic integrity hearing panel members and hearing officers. The presumptive sanction for a first offense is course failure, accompanied by the transcript notation \u201cViolation of the Academic Integrity Policy.\u201d The standard sanction for a first offense by graduate students is suspension or expulsion. Students should review the Office of Academic Integrity online resource \u201cTwenty Questions and Answers About the Syracuse University Academic Integrity Policy\u201d<\/a> and confer with instructors about course-specific citation methods, permitted collaboration (if any), and rules for examinations. The Policy<\/a> also governs the veracity of signatures on attendance sheets and other verification of participation in class activities. Additional guidance for students can be found in the Office of Academic Integrity resource: \u2018What does academic integrity mean?<\/a>\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

All students who take Whitman courses to certify in writing that they have read, understand, and agree to comply with the Academic Integrity Policy. Whitman students should have completed a certification statement. All other students enrolled in this course, including Management minors, are also required to complete a certification statement available in the Undergraduate Office (Suite 215). Completed statements will be kept on file in the Undergraduate Office.<\/p>\n

ACCOMMODATIONS FOR DISABILITIES:<\/strong>\u00a0 Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires that the university nod deny participation in, or the benefits of, participation in any program or activity to any individual who is otherwise qualified (within the meaning of the Act), solely by reason of having a disability.\u00a0 If you believe you need accommodations for a disability, please contact the Office of Disability Services [ODS] http:\/\/disabilityservices.syr.edu<\/a> located at 804 University Avenue, room 309, 443-4498 for an appointment to discuss the process for accomodating.\u00a0 ODS will issue “Accommodation Authorization Letters,” as appropriate, to students with documented disabilities;\u00a0 because accommodations may require early planning, please contact ODS as soon as possible.\u00a0 Please contact me privately to discuss your academic needs, and please advise me of any accommodations arranged through ODS as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

Class attendance is expected. It is recognized that there may be occasions when students are required to be off campus for some class meetings; in those instances, students should inform me in advance whenever possible. Students who miss class are responsible for all material covered, and are responsible for making up any missed assignments. Absences due to medical conditions or because of required participation in university-sanctioned activities will be excused, upon presentation of appropriate documentation substantiating the reason for the absence.<\/p>\n
