Americans
with
Disabilities
Act:
Any
student
whose
disability
falls
within
ADA
guidelines
and
has
accommodations
authorized
by
the
Chestnut
Hill
College
Disabilities
Committee
should
inform
me
at
the
beginning
of
the
semester
of
any
special
accommodations
or
equipment
needs
necessary
to
complete
the
requirements
for
this
course.
You
would
inform
me
by
giving
me
a
copy
of
your
Accommodations
Letter
provided
by
the
Chestnut
Hill
College
Disabilities
Committee.
If
a
student
does
not
have
accommodations
and
believes
that
he/she
is
eligible
to
receive
them,
the
student
should
meet
with
Kristin
A.
Tracy,
Director,
Disabilities
Resource
Center,
Room

Attendance
First
year
student
college-wide
policy:
I
am
required
to
report
to
the
Director
of
Academic
Advising
the
name
of
any
first-year
student
with
2
absences.
Even
if
I
know
why
you
missed,
I
still
have
to
send
your
n ame.
You
will
receive
at
the
very
least
an
email
from
them
if
this
happens.
As
attendance
in
class
is
linked
directly
to
student
success,
attendance
in
FILA
is
required.
Recognizing
that
students
get
sick
or
have
emergencies,
the
first
few
absences
do
not
count
directly
against
your
grade.
However,
it
is
your
responsibility
to
notify
your
instructor
of
your
absence,
to
discuss
the
missed
material
with
him
or
her
in
office
hours,
and
to
make
arrangements
for
handing
in
missed
work
when
you
have
missed
for
unavoidable
reasons
that
the
school
would
deem
excusable.
However,
after
4
classes
for
a
2/week
class
(or
6
classes
for
a
3/week
class),
a
students
grade
will
drop
one
letter
grade.
All
subsequent
absences
drop
the
grade
another
10%.
This
refers
to
excused
and
unexcused
absences.
Exception:
Athletes
can
miss
for
up
to
4
games
without
penalty
if
they
submit
notification
of
dates
ahead
of
time.
Because
they
may
miss
class
for
sports,
they
cannot
miss
as
much
otherwise
without
it
influencing
their
grade.
IMPORTANT: Policy on Academic Integrity. The colleges policy is available in the catalog on the CHC website & is also on our Bb site. In addition, we will talk about plagiarism throughout the semes-ter. From day 1, though, you are expected to uphold CHCs code of academic integrity/ honesty. Plagiarism will not be tolerated. First time mistakes will mean that you must rewrite the paper & might mean that you fail the assignment. Future lapses & overt first offenses will result in your name going to the Dean & most likely in you failing the class, regardless of your grade at that point.
