Course Policies Attendance [Enter Course Prefix and Number here] Page 3 of 6
In an accelerated learning model, interaction is foundational to synergy. Therefore, for the model of experiential learning to work, attendance must be mandatory. We recognize there is always the unexpected in the midst of adult life. Absences must be cleared in advance with your professor, who may set up a special meeting time, apart from class time, to cover learning objectives for that class. More than one absence per course or excessive absences in the program may be grounds for course failure and/or administrative withdrawal from the program. Attendance records are essential to comply with regulations established by the Veterans Administration or recipients of VA benefits or federally insured student loans. If long term medical, family, or employment concerns develop, the student needs to contact their Student Support Specialist and Professor immediately. The Student Support Specialist will assist the student in addressing non-academic matters related to their program. The Professor will assist the student in addressing academic matters related to their program. (*Nonparticipation in a course for one week is considered equivalent to an absence.) Participation Participation in an online course is derived from the learner completing course assignments not limited to weekly discussions, weekly assignments, tests, individual and/or group projects, etc. (Non-participation in this course can and will affect the learner's final grade.) ion Boards Students are expected to actively participate in the discussion board each week, if applicable. Students are required to post an initial 50-word response to the discussion board prompt(s) no later than Wednesday at :59pm of the current week's discussion board. Then each student must respond to the initial postings of at least two classmates, asking reflective questions and critically commenting on their ideas to extend the conversation.
