Policies
The College Catalog states: "Students are expected to attend all sessions of courses for which they are registered. Each instructor determines when a student's absences have reached a point at which they jeopardize the student's success in a course. When absences become excessive, the student may receive a failing grade for the course. If attendance is a part of the grading criteria, that policy should be included in the individual faculty member's class policies and outline and distributed to students on the first day of class. Students who withdraw from a course or courses because of the death of an immediate family member, serious illness or medical emergency, or employment changes beyond the control of the student may file a Tuition and Fees Appeal Form through the Office of Student Accounts. In these cases, the student is still required to obtain an NC for each course s/he is withdrawing from according to the guidelines above. If the student is incapacitated and unable to contact his/her instructor(s), the student or her/his representative, may contact the Office of the Registrar, the academic department chair, or the dean for assistance in contacting the faculty and requesting withdrawal as indicated by the NC notation." See: http://www.mscd.edu/academic/catalog/pdf/PoliciesProcedures.pdf The following grades are possible in
MDL courses: Other possible notations: Please consult the Catalog for complete information on Metro State's Academic Policies and Procedures, including the policy on attendance (under the NC/Withdrawal - No Credit section) and the Last Grade Stands policy for Repeated Courses: http://www.mscd.edu/academic/catalog/pdf/PoliciesProcedures.pdf Students will be expected to know and observe the MSCD regulations regarding No-Credit Withdrawal (NC). It is the student's responsibility to withdraw from a course. Students who withdraw after the census date will receive an NC on their transcripts. NC stands for No Credit and does not impact the student's grade point average. NC deadlines for part-of-term classes vary. Please consult the Academic Calendar at: http://www.mscd.edu/MetroCal/tools/acal.jsp Students who have questions about tuition and fees refund deadlines should contact the Office of Student Accounts at (303) 556-6188. More information on Policy on No Credit / Incomplete Class Attendance on Religious Holidays Students at Metropolitan State College of Denver (MSCD) who, because of their sincerely held religious beliefs, are unable to attend classes, take examinations, participate in graded activities or submit graded assignments on particular days shall without penalty be excused from such classes and be given a meaningful opportunity to make up such examinations and graded activities or assignments provided that advance written notice that the student will be absent for religious reasons is given to the faculty members during the first two weeks of the semester. Nothing in paragraph one of this policy shall require MSCD faculty members to reschedule classes, repeat lectures or other ungraded activities or provide ungraded individualized instruction solely for the benefit of students who, for religious reasons, are unable to attend regularly scheduled classes or activities. However, presentations, critiques, conferences and similar activities involving individual students shall be scheduled to avoid conflicts with such students' religious observances or holidays provided that reasonable advance notice of scheduling conflicts is given to faculty members. Because classroom attendance and participation is an important aspect of learning, MSCD students should not register for courses if regularly scheduled classes or activities routinely conflict with their religious observances or holidays (e.g., conflicts resulting in weekly absences for an entire semester). Any MSCD student who believes that an MSCD faculty member has violated this policy is entitled to seek relief under Section V of the MSCD Equal Opportunity Grievance Procedure. More information on Policy on Class Attendance on Religious Holidays Accommodations for Students with Disabilities The Metropolitan State College of Denver is committed to making reasonable accommodations to assist individuals with disabilities in reaching their academic potential. If you have a disability which may impact your performance, attendance, or grades in this class and are requesting accommodations, then you must first register with the Access Center, located in the Auraria Library, Suite 116, 303-556-8387. The Access Center is the designated department responsible for coordinating accommodations and services for students with disabilities. Accommodations will not be granted prior to my receipt of your faculty notification letter from the Access Center. Please note that accommodations are never provided retroactively (i.e., prior to the receipt of your faculty notification letter.) Once an instructor is in receipt of your official Access Center faculty notification letter, he or she would be happy to meet with you to discuss your accommodations. All discussions will remain confidential. Further information is available by visiting the Access center website http://www.mscd.edu/~access . Students who need an accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact the instructor to discuss their specific needs. Students will need to provide the instructor with a disability verification letter from the Access Center for Disability Accommodations and Adaptive Technology Services before appropriate accommodations can be made. Access Center E-mail is: mscd-accesscenter@mscd.edu Failure to notify the instructor in a timely fashion may hinder the college's ability to assist students to successfully complete the course. The Metropolitan State College of Denver does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, national origin, sex, age, sexual orientation or disability in admission or access to, or treatment in, its educational programs or activities. Inquiries concerning Title VI, Title IX and Section 504 may be referred to: Dr. Percy Morehouse, Director or Office for Civil Rights Discrimination based on disability in admission to, access to or operation of programs, services or activities of the college is prohibited by the Americans with Disabilities Act. More information on Policy For Students Requiring Accommodations Academic Dishonesty / Harrassment and Discrimination Academic dishonesty is a serious offense at the College because it diminishes the quality of scholarship and the learning experience for everyone on campus. An act of Academic Dishonesty may lead to sanctions including a reduction in grade (up to and including a permanent F for the course), probation, suspension, or expulsion. Academic dishonesty includes cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, submitting the same paper or work for more than one class, and facilitating academic dishonesty. For definitions and more information, see the College Catalog: http://www.mscd.edu/academic/catalog/pdf/Rights.pdf. All members of the MSCD community are bound by the ethical guidelines established by the college. The Department of Modern Languages does not tolerate harassment in or outside of class or discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, or veteran status. We expect appropriate professional and student behavior at all times. If you have concerns or questions, please consult with your instructor; the department chair, Dr. Garcia, (PL 360, 556-3010); the Equal Opportunity Office (CN 315, 556-2939); or Student Services (CN 313, 556-3908).
