University College Undergraduate Student Academic Integrity Policy All University College undergraduate students--part-time, full-time, degree-seeking, and non-degree--are governed by the Undergraduate Student Academic Integrity Policy at Washington University and the procedures set forth therein.
As noted in that policy: Effective learning, teaching, and research all depend upon the ability of members of the academic community to trust one another and to trust the integrity of work that is submitted in classes for academic credit or conducted in the wider arena of scholarly research. Procedures for Alleged Academic Integrity Violations in University College Undergraduate Classes Any member of the university community may file an academic integrity complaint.
Hearing If all parties cannot agree that a violation has occurred, then the case is referred to the University College Committee on Academic Integrity CAI for review and, if warranted, a determination of an appropriate penalty.
After introductions are made, the AIO will describe the procedure, outlined below. The instructor will summarize the complaint and their evidence in support of it. The committee will ask the instructor questions.
The student may ask the instructor questions. The student will summarize their prepared response and their evidence in response. The committee will ask the student questions. The instructor may ask the student questions. Witnesses, if called, will be brought into the hearing for questioning by the committee and parties at the appropriate time, and asked to leave once the committee determines that the witnesses have made their contribution to the hearing.
Once the committee determines that it has no more questions, the AIO will inform the instructor and student that their part in the hearing is concluded. The committee will deliberate after the instructor and student leave the hearing room.
If the committee decides that the evidence more likely than not supports a finding that the student violated the academic integrity policy, the committee will then be asked to determine which penalties should be imposed. If they find that the student has not violated the academic integrity policy, the hearing is concluded, and the AIO will notify the instructor and the student of the outcome.
Sanctions The AIO in cases in which the hearing is waived or CAI in cases in which there is a hearing may impose sanctions including but not limited to the following: Issue a formal written reprimand. Recommend to the instructor that the student fail the assignment. A grade is ultimately the prerogative of the instructor. Recommend to the instructor that the student fail the course. Recommend to the instructor that the student receive a course grade penalty less severe than failure of the course.
Procedures for Alleged Academic Integrity Violations in University College Graduate Classes Any member of the university community may file an academic integrity complaint. The academic integrity officer may impose sanctions, including but not limited to the following: Issue a formal written reprimand. Last revised February Accessibility of Faculty Instructors have a responsibility to make themselves accessible to students at times other than class periods. University College Calendar Please hold all classes in accordance with the University College calendar , both online and printed each semester in the University College course schedule.
Campus Security Washington University is a relatively secure environment. Cancellations Due to Inclement Weather On rare occasions, classes must be canceled because of snow or ice. Cancellation or Substitution of Classes Faculty are expected to meet all classes when and where advertised for the duration of the class period.
If it becomes necessary for an instructor to miss a class meeting due to illness or an emergency, it is the instructor's responsibility to provide a substitute and to notify the Office of the Dean , or, after 5 p.
Every effort should be made to notify University College well in advance of an absence. If the instructor cannot find a substitute, the department coordinator may be able to assist. Classrooms Classrooms are assigned on the basis of projected enrollments, course requirements, and, to the degree possible, convenience for faculty and students.
Class Size Limits The enrollment limit for University College courses, unless otherwise approved, is set at 30, and courses seldom exceed that number of students. Course Cancellations Undergraduate Course Enrollments and Course Cancellation Policy Specific teaching and service assignments may be dependent upon sufficient enrollment and satisfactory performance, and assignments may be changed or amended as required by the departmental administration.
Course Syllabus At the beginning of the semester, please provide all students with a syllabus, or course plan, containing the following: A list of all written text materials to be used in the course and an indication of when they are to be used.
Please do not require students to purchase expensive books unless they will be used extensively in your class. A calendar of all class sessions, with specific dates indicating what topics are to be covered in each class and when examinations will be held.
A clear statement of written work assignments or other projects, including their due dates, required length, and grading standards. A statement of your policy on late attendance, absences, and incomplete or late written work.
A statement concerning academic integrity and possible sanctions for plagiarism see the Academic Integrity section of this handbook for a sample statement. A statement concerning disability resources.
A syllabus template for hybrid and online course can be found in the online teaching manual. Emergencies You are urged to give consideration to how you will respond in the event of an emergency in your classroom or nearby.
Sexual Harassment Policy Washington University defines sexual harassment as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other unwelcome verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature which creates an offensive, intimidating, or hostile environment.
Social Media Guidelines When using social media as a part of a class, faculty must seriously consider questions of student access and privacy, as well as the maintenance of professional and equitable relationships with all members of the class. Special Requests In the early stages of course planning, please review with the dean and your University College coordinator requests for special classroom activities or supplies that may require an additional expense.
Adding and Withdrawing from Classes Please inform students planning to add or drop your class that they submit this form online. Attendance Policy Faculty are responsible for declaring and maintaining their own attendance policies. Prerequisites Some courses carry the requirement that a student should have already achieved prerequisite knowledge by successfully completing another course. Independent Study and Directed Research All students wishing to do independent study with a faculty member must submit a proposal in writing to both the instructor and to the appropriate department chairman or University College coordinator.
Examinations and Grading Tests and Examinations Evaluating your students' work fairly and consistently requires regular written work and examinations. Grades Grades are an important measure of academic progress, and students need evidence of where they stand throughout the semester. The following grades and corresponding grade points apply to all University College students and courses: A indicates superior work. CR awards credit, but work was not subjected to finer evaluation.
NCR means no credit. Student's work was not satisfactory. I means work is incomplete. L audit; not for credit. Z audit; student did not attend class. W withdrawal; student withdrew from the course prior to completion. N means no grade received by the Registrar's Office by the grading deadline. R means course has been retaken. Incompletes At the end of the semester, a grade of "I" Incomplete may be assigned to a student, indicating that the instructor has agreed to withhold a final grade pending completion of assigned work.
The grade of "I" should be assigned only under limited circumstances: When the student's work is of passing quality but a small portion such as a single paper, lab report, or examination is incomplete. If the work is incomplete for a "good cause," e.
If the student contacts the instructor to make arrangements for completion of the work in a specified amount of time, normally within the following academic semester. The grade of "I" should be assigned only after discussing the situation with the student and agreeing exactly what needs to be done to complete the work. University College strongly recommends the use of a written contract for this purpose. It is, however, the student's responsibility to initiate the discussion and provide the necessary form in order to receive an Incomplete.
View the Incomplete Agreement Form. If the student does not contact the instructor concerning completion of work, the instructor should assign whatever regular grade is appropriate based on the work completed.
The grade of I should not be used to allow a student to retake an exam or to repeat the course because of failing work or absence for a substantial period.
The appropriate letter grade should be awarded when, for example, a student stops coming to class, misses exams, or repeatedly fails to turn in written work with no explanation. In awarding a grade of "I" or "X", faculty should make arrangements with a student to complete course work within the semester following the course.
Faculty may extend this time, however, if it seems warranted. Upon completion of the work, a Special Grade Report form should be submitted. Likewise, a Special Grade Report may be submitted, based on work completed, when the instructor determines that the terms of the agreement have not been or will not be fulfilled.
Class and final examination schedules are developed by the PACS Office on a semester basis fall, spring, and summer and are finalized approximately eight months before the first day of classes for that semester, per University policy. Classes should be held on the days and times scheduled and must follow the established academic schedule. All final or last exams and papers should follow the published exam schedule and should not occur or be due during the Final Exam Study Period or on a regularly-scheduled class day.
This includes written, oral, and take-home exams. Classrooms are assigned on the basis of projected enrollments, course requirements, and, to the degree possible, convenience for faculty and students. If for some reason a change from the room designated in the course schedule must be made prior to the first class meeting, instructors will be notified. Students have the opportunity to complete course evaluations following every semester.
Results will be available to instructors after the end of the semester and can be accessed via WebFAC. Instructors must provide all students with a syllabus at the start of the semester; syllabi shall be uploaded to Canvas. Instructors will be provided a syllabus template before the start of the semester that includes the official course description and learning outcomes, along with University-required statements. Instructors should complete the remaining information evaluation, schedule, resources, and instructor contact information and return it to the PACS Office before the first day of classes for the semester.
Vaccination is required for all Washington University employees and trainees across the Danforth and Medical Campuses. Vaccination will be offered free of charge by the university to all faculty, staff, trainees and students. Faculty, staff and trainees wishing to make a vaccination appointment may do so by sending an email to covidvaccine wustl. Employees may receive a vaccine on regular work time and supervisors must allow time for employees to be vaccinated.
Washington University is committed to having a positive learning and working environment for its students, faculty and staff. This Policy prohibits discrimination and harassment on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, veteran status, disability or genetic information. Such conduct may also violate federal, state or local law.
Following are general guidelines for exams administered in PACS. Additional requirements may be posed by the individual instructor. Any student needing accommodation for exams should review the Policy for Students with Disabilities in advance of exams.
The following examples are intended to be representative of behaviors that constitute cheating in the context of an exam. This is not intended to be an all-inclusive list. Under FERPA regulations, you may not disclose personally identifiable information from academic records to anyone other than the student in question and University officials with legitimate educational interest. Special care should be taken when distributing graded items to ensure that no student other than the one intended has access to any graded information.
The University will provide opportunities to receive the vaccine free of charge, or you may provide documentation of vaccination at another location. This must be completed no later than December 1 st of each year. Instructors are required to submit final grades at the end of the semester and should do so using the WebFac system. You will be notified of the due date for submission. Midterm grades may be reported, but are not required for graduate students unless a student is performing at a B- level or below.
Final grades are assigned to represent the level of competence received. Instructors have access to class rosters electronically using WebFAC , the Washington University course information website. Please use WebFAC to obtain your course rosters. With the aid of WebFAC, you can view all courses online, print your class rosters, send e-mails to an entire class or to selected students, contact their advisors, and even view pictures of students in your classes.
PACS will also try to duplicate these email communications to be sure everyone receives the message. Local media outlets may also be notified. Individual instructors may still make independent decisions about holding classes, and as always, everyone should make their own determination about whether they can safely travel. The ultimate decision regarding whether the commute to classes or to clinical rotations can be safely made remains with the individual. PACS does not provide honoraria for guest speakers.
Unless approved, accommodations may not be made for individual students unless these are also made available to all students enrolled in the class. The PACS office can assist instructors with locating and reserving space, as needed, for exam accommodations.
Faculty should be familiar with student policies and procedures found in the student handbooks. Instructors should include textbook and supply information on the syllabus, which should be uploaded to Canvas two weeks before the first day of class. This will give students time to locate and purchase books online. All instructors have access to online tools to help manage your students and classes. WebFAC allows you to manage your roster, connect to course listings, and report grades.
Instructors who are employed by the University in another department may be paid biweekly if their primary position is paid as such. Please contact your department or institution if this applies to you and you have questions. Office: McDonnell ; ; email: osdoby biology. Pakrasi, Professor, Ph.
