Attendance Policy
Regular class attendance is an important obligation and each student is responsible for all work conducted in class meetings. In emergency situations, a student may request to the faculty member, with approval by the Associate Director of the Christian Ministry Program, for missed sessions to be audio or video recorded (the student is responsible to provide for this). In addition to the student’s listening/watching the recording, the faculty member may require further work in order to make up for the missed sessions. The student must be in attendance for a minimum of 85% of the class sessions in order for this request to be considered. Appeal may be made to the dean of the School of Religion for further flexibility.

Academic Honesty
To protect the integrity of your university degree, academic honesty is expected of all students at Trevecca Nazarene University. TNU students are held to high standards of academic ethics, personal honesty, and moral integrity. Trevecca enforces these standards by dealing with academic dishonesty fairly and firmly. Plagiarism (using another’s statements or thoughts without giving the source appropriate credit), cheating on an exam, and falsifying documentation are just a few of the infractions that are grounds for course failure and/or program termination.

Disability Accommodations
Trevecca Nazarene University provides disability support services. Anyone who feels they may need an accommodation based on the impact of a disability and who would like to receive accommodations must register with Disability Services in the Academic Support Center, Waggoner Library, 615-248-1346.

Late Work Policy
Papers need to be postmarked, or dated (emailed submissions) on or before the designated due dates. The due date may only be extended for one week, at the discretion of the professor, if the extension is requested at least 3 days prior to the due date.

Electronic Submissions
In the event an electronic submission is acceptable to the professor, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure the professor received the assignment.

Disclaimer
Please note that all digital communication content exchanged as part of this course, including e-mail, online discussions, and chat sessions, are the responsibility of and owned solely by the author. It is also understood that all digital exchanges are submitted freely by each student.

Cell Phones
As a courtesy to the professor and other students, personal cell phone calls should not be taken during class. In rare situations taking a personal call may be appropriate, but arrangements for those calls should be made in advance with the instructor.

Documentation
All papers should be documented according to MLA style.
