Student behavior that interferes with an instructor s ability to conduct a class or other students' opportunity to learn is unacceptable and disruptive and will not be tolerated in any instructional forum at UNT. Students engaging in unacceptable behavior will be directed to leave the classroom and the instructor may refer the student to the Dean of Students to consider whether the student's conduct violated the Code of Student Conduct. The university's expectations for student conduct apply to all instructional forums, including university and electronic classroom, labs, discussion groups, field trips, etc. The Code of Student Conduct can be found at www.deanofstudents.unt.edu The College of Merchandising, Hospitality and Tourism requires that students respect and maintain all university property. Students will be held accountable through disciplinary action for any intentional damages they cause in classrooms. (e.g., writing on tables). Disruptive behavior is not tolerated (e.g., arriving late, leaving early, sleeping, talking on the phone, texting or game playing, making inappropriate comments, ringing cellular phones/beepers, dressing inappropriately). ACADEMIC DISHONESTY Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, the use of any unauthorized assistance in taking quizzes, tests, or exams; dependence upon the aid of sources beyond those authorized by the instructor, the acquisition of tests or other material belonging to a faculty member, dual submission of a paper or project, resubmission of a paper or project to a different class without express permission from the instructors, or any other act designed to give a student an unfair advantage. Plagiarism includes the paraphrase or direct quotation of published or unpublished works without full and clear acknowledgment of the author/source. Academic 5

dishonesty will bring about disciplinary action which may include expulsion from the university. This is explained in the UNT Student Handbook. It is assumed that all work done for credit will be the result of the individual s or authorized group s unaided effort. Anyone who either gives or receives unauthorized assistance in the preparation of work at home or during tests in class will be the subject to disciplinary action under the provisions of the University of North Texas. Cheating on tests or plagiarism of any assignment will result in a failing grade in the course. Your submission of any assignment will provide assurance that you have neither given nor received any unauthorized help in its preparation. Students are forewarned that all opportunities for violations will be closely scrutinized and that violators will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action according to the policies set for by University of North Texas.

It is very important that you work with your advisor to be sure you are sequencing courses correctly (rather than taking courses scheduled at a convenient time) to avoid delayed graduation. Ultimately, it is a student s responsibility to ensure they have met all prerequisites before enrolling in a class. Students who have not met prerequisites will not be allowed to remain in a course. Once classes begin, students often have few, if any, options for adding a different course, which can be an issue for financial aid. For additional information regarding requirements and policies, refer to the 2013-2014 Undergraduate Catalog. FINANCIAL AID SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS (SAP) UNDERGRADUATES A student must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) to continue to receive financial aid.

Students cannot exceed attempted credit hours above 150% of their required degree plan. If a student does not maintain the required standards, the student may lose financial aid eligibility. If at any point you consider dropping this or any other course, please be advised that the decision to do so has the potential to affect your current and future financial aid eligibility. Please visit http://financial aid.unt.edu/satisfactory-academic progress-requirements for more information about financial aid Satisfactory Academic Progress. It may be wise for you to schedule a meeting with your CMHT academic advisor or visit the Student Financial Aid and Scholarships office to discuss dropping a course before doing so. 7

ACADEMIC ADVISING All pre-majors are required to meet with their Academic Advisor and receive an advising code to register for classes each semester. ALL students should meet with their Academic Advisor at least one time per semester (Fall & Spring). It is important to update your degree plan on a regular basis to ensure that you are on track for a timely graduation. Advising Contact Information (Chilton Hall 385 940.565.4635): Sarah Kim, M.S.

If such an on-campus activity is required, it is the student s responsibility to do the following: (1) Submit a written request to the instructor for an on-campus experiential component within one week of the start of the course. (2) Ensure that the activity on campus takes place and the instructor documents it in writing with a notice sent to the International Advising Office. The UNT International Advising Office has a form available that you may use for this purpose. Because the decision may have serious immigration consequences, if an F-1 student is unsure about his or her need to participate in an on-campus experiential component for this course, students should contact the UNT International Advising Office (telephone 940-565-2195 or email international@unt.edu) to get clarification before the one-week deadline. DROPPING AN ONLINE COURSE A student needing to drop an online course should send their instructor an email with their name, student ID#, reason for dropping a course, and date you are sending the email. This must be done prior to the UNT deadline to drop a course. If approved, the instructor will contact the Director of CMHT Advising in Chilton 385 where you may obtain a signed drop form. It is your responsibility to turn in the completed drop slip to the UNT Registrar s office before the deadline to make sure you have been dropped from the course with a W. If you are taking only online courses and your instructor approves the drop, please contact the CMHT Director of Advising for instructions. EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION & PROCEDURES UNT uses a system called Eagle Alert to quickly notify you with critical information in an event of emergency (i.e., severe weather, campus closing, and health and public safety emergencies like chemical spills, fires, or violence). The system sends voice messages (and text messages upon permission) to the phones of all active faculty staff, and students. Please make certain to update your phone numbers at www.my.unt.edu. Some helpful emergency preparedness actions include: 1) ensuring you know the evacuation routes and severe weather shelter areas, determining how you will contact family and friends if phones are temporarily unavailable, and identifying where you will go if you need to evacuate the Denton area suddenly. In the event of a university closure your instructor will message you through Blackboard to communicate with you assignments, homework, etc. 11

I will post any emergency announcements on Blackboard should the need arise and it is your responsibility to check these on blackboard. Do not solo rely on email notifications of such announcements. Revisions: The instructor reserves the right to revise this syllabus and list of requirements when, in his judgment, such revision will benefit the advancement of the course goals and objectives.
