Student/Institution Relationship: A
student’s enrollment at Chestnut Hill College is a voluntary decision
that involves acceptance of the responsibility to meet academic
requirements, adhere to policies and procedures and to act in ways
consistent with the mission of the College and civil law. Conduct that
threatens or endangers the health or safety of any person on college
premises, verbal or written harassment, intentional obstruction or
disruption of teaching, administration or other college activities may
result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from the
program. Students remain responsible for all tuition and fees.
Classroom Etiquette:
Students are asked to be respectful of each other in
this class and to be respectful of a professional learning environment.
Anyone not adhering to this request will be asked to leave the class and
will be marked absent for that particular evening.
• Be on time and prepared to work
• Silence cell phones
• Save text messages for breaks
• Respect the contributions of others
• Be open to new ideas
• Resolve differences calmly
Children are not permitted in the classroom. If any
student brings a child to class, that student and the child will be
asked to leave class.
Class Attendance and Participation:
Due to the accelerated format of this program, it is imperative that
students attend all classes as scheduled. Class participation and
discussion are key components in the examination of course material.
Therefore, class attendance is a requirement. Whenever possible,
absences should be discussed in advance with the instructor. Students
are at risk of academic jeopardy if more than four hours of class are
missed due to arriving late, leaving early or being absent. This may
result in a full letter grade reduction or more and will be decided on
an individual basis. In addition, students are responsible for all work
that is assigned. Late work is subject to a reduction in grade.
Students who fail to attend the first two classes in
any session will NOT be allowed in the class, will be dropped and will
be responsible for 40% of the tuition cost. Students enrolled in a
hybrid or online course will be considered absent if they fail to log
into Blackboard and/or my.chc.edu and submit assignments associated with
the class session.
Should weather or other circumstances force the
cancellation of classes, you can sign up for the College’s emergency
notification service (text messaging) and familiarize yourself with the
College’s Crisis Protocol. To receive a message sign up at http://www.chc.edu/emergency_notification_service/ or check the College’s phone 215.248.7009 and college homepage at www.chc.edu
for any messages. Should class need to be cancelled due to illness or
personal emergency, an email will be sent to the class with as much
notice as possible. Please be sure to check your CHC email regularly.
When class cancellation is unavoidable, make-up work will be assigned.
Academic Integrity: Academic
integrity, which is essential to the mission of Chestnut Hill College,
consists of responsibility and honesty in the fulfillment of academic
duties and is vital to the Chestnut Hill College community of scholars.
Academic integrity promotes trust, mutual respect, cooperation, and the
advancement of learning. Cheating and plagiarism destroy the trust and
mutual respect that are essential to a community of learning.
These behaviors violate the deepest convictions of the College community
and are infractions of academic integrity. Plagiarism is defined as the
submission of work (written work, art work, musical composition, oral
presentation, software program, experimental design, etc.) that
incorporates ideas from another individual (student, teacher, author,
etc.) and presents these ideas as one’s own without adequate
acknowledgement of the source.
Disability Policy: Chestnut Hill College
does not discriminate against applicants for admissions or against
students with regard to its educational programs. Consistent with
federal, state, and local laws, especially Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act, the ADA of 1990 and the ADAAA of 2008, Chestnut Hill
College provides reasonable accommodations to qualified students with
disabilities. Disclosure of a disability is voluntary and confidential.
To access services, student should contact the Disability Resource
Center, http://www.chc.edu/Disability/, specifically the Director of the Disability Resource Center at 215-753-3655 or [email protected].
Upon receipts of appropriate documentation, the Disability Committee
will make an individualized determination of the accommodations
requested. The website for the Disability Resource Center outlines the
procedure to be followed and will permit you to access the forms that
need to be submitted as part of the request for reasonable
accommodations.
