Student Responsibilities:
Students are required to

students will be asked to contribute and ask questions. Most graded assignments
will be done in class.
30% Absence: DeVry’s
Attendance Policy allows a Professor to withdraw a student from a course when a
student has been absent 30% of the class hours of the course. If I drop you
from the class, you must then appeal to me to be reinstated. If you are not
reinstated, this can affect your eligibility for financial aid and will result
in a “W” grade for the course. (Don’t forget to use the automated attendance
system, ATS, starting 10 minutes before the hour and closing 20 minutes after
the hour.) Late assignments will be accepted with a one grade level reduction.
Diversity:
Students, faculty, staff, and
all other member of the DeVry community are expected to respect diversity, which
includes, but is not limited to age, disability, gender, marital status,
national origin, race, religion, and sexual orientation. Students engaging in
discriminatory behavior will be subject to the consequences established in the
Student’s Code of Conduct in the Student Handbook. Student grievances involving
charges of discrimination and sexual harassment should be taken to the Student
Services Office.
Academic Integrity:
All students are expected to follow the standards of
academic integrity and conduct as detailed in the Academic Integrity Policy
found in the DeVry Student Handbook. The Policy specifically prohibits
dishonest acts, such as copying, plagiarism, and prohibited collaboration.
Please review the Policy so that you understand your rights and obligations.
