Make-up Work Laboratory work, major tests, and the checklist with analyses can be made-up only with a documented excused absence. A missed lab, which is excused, must be made-up before the following week. Documented excused absences include doctor appointments, school sponsored trips, and military service. If you have any question on whether an absence will be excused it should be addressed before the missed lab. Attendance Regular and punctual attendance is expected at all classes and laboratory sections. You are expected to take care of personal needs prior to class, such as getting a drink of water, going to the restroom, sharpening pencils, stapling papers, etc. SFASU is working closely with the Texas Department of State Health Services to monitor flu conditions and make decisions about the best steps to take concerning SFA. The university will use the Web site, www.sfasu.edu/flu, to keep you updated. Practice good hand hygiene by washing your hands with soap and water, especially after coughing or Alcohol-based hand cleaners also are effective. Practice respiratory etiquette by covering your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. If you don t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow or shoulder, not into your hands. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Stay home if you have the flu or flu-like illness for at least 24 hours after you no longer have a fever. This should be determined without the use of fever-reducing medications (any medicine that contains ibuprofen or acetaminophen). Students should communicate with their faculty members regarding any absence. If you are an on-campus resident of SFA and develop a flu-like illness, you will be asked to return home for the duration of the illness if it is feasible for you to do so. For the most up-to-date information on flu, visit www.flu.gov, call 1-800-CDC-INFO (1-800-232-4636) and/or visit SFASU s Web site at www.sfasu.edu/flu.the university will notify you by e-mail and through updates to the SFA Web site of any additional changes to our institution s strategy to prevent the spread of flu on our campus.

Faculty members promote academic integrity in multiple ways including instruction on the components of academic honesty, as well as abiding by university policy on penalties for cheating and plagiarism. Definition of Academic Dishonesty Academic dishonesty includes both cheating and plagiarism. Cheating includes but is not limited to (1) using or attempting to use unauthorized materials to aid in achieving a better grade on a component of a class; (2) the falsification or invention of any information, including citations, on an assigned exercise; and/or (3) helping or attempting to help another in an act of cheating or plagiarism. Plagiarism is presenting the words or ideas of another person as if they were your own. Examples of plagiarism are (1) submitting an assignment as if it were one s own work that has been purchased or otherwise obtained from an Internet source or another source; and (2) incorporating the words or ideas of an author into one s paper without giving the author due credit. Please read the complete policy at http://www.sfasu.edu/policies/academic_integrity.asp Withheld Grades Semester Grades Policy (A-54) Ordinarily, at the discretion of the instructor of record and with the approval of the academic chair/director, a grade of WH will be assigned only if the student cannot complete the course work because of unavoidable circumstances. Students must complete the work within one calendar year from the end of the semester in which they receive a WH, or the grade automatically becomes an F. If students register for the same course in future terms the WH will automatically become an F and will be counted as a repeated course for the purpose of computing the grade point average.
