Graduate courses and combined undergraduate/grad courses:
ASHA competencies associated with the course and requirements for meeting
If you haven't received these for your course, request from Dr. Vander Werff (kvander@syr.edu) or Tracy Williams (twilli74@syr.edu). Make sure the standards linked to the objectives say "2020 ASHA standards" (current certification standard).
Syllabi should be submitted here at least one week prior to the first class session. All instructors should post their syllabus on their Blackboard course site.
What are the department's attendance, absence, and missed assignment/exam policies?
Attendance in classes is expected in all courses at Syracuse University and by the department. Faculty will use Early-Semester Progress Reports and Mid-Semester Progress Reports in Orange SUccess to alert the Registrar and Financial Aid Office of Non-attendance or Stopped Attending.
It is up to the instructor whether attendance and participation are graded.
There is no departmental policy regarding make-up exams or assignments. In general, specific course policies about missed assignments/exams due to absence are up to the instructor. Whatever your policies, whether you allow make-up exams/assignments, deadline extensions, etc., they should be clearly stated on your syllabus from the beginning of the semester.
Types of absence and absence notifications are described here. Instructors may require an absence notification (received through OrangeSuccess) for extended absences for make-up exam/assignment eligibility or due date extensions.
Final exam dates should be on the syllabus from the beginning of the semester (available in MySlice and here). Final dates/times should NOT be changed. Students will not be excused from scheduled finals for reasons other than documented illness/emergency absences. If an incomplete is needed due to an emergency situation, please contact the department. Students who are graduating cannot take incompletes- contact the department chair.
