Other Policies and Useful Information:
Academic Misconduct 每 ※Academic integrity is a legitimate
concern for every member of the campus community; all share in upholding the fundamental
values of honesty, trust, respect, fairness, responsibility and
professionalism. By choosing to join the UNLV community, students accept the
expectations of the Academic Misconduct Policy and are encouraged when faced
with choices to always take the ethical path. Students enrolling in UNLV assume
the obligation to conduct themselves in a manner compatible with UNLV＊s
function as an educational institution.§
An example of academic misconduct is plagiarism: ※Using the
words or ideas of another, from the internet or any source, without proper
citation of the sources.§ See the
※Student Academic Misconduct Policy§ (approved December 9, 2005, located at
<http://studentlife.unlv.edu/judicial/misconductPolicy.html>).
Copyright 每 The following statement is
recommended for inclusion in course syllabi:
The University requires all members of
the University Community to familiarize themselves and
to follow copyright and fair use requirements. You are individually and solely responsible for violations of copyright
and fair use laws. The University will neither protect nor defend you nor
assume any responsibility for employee or student violations of fair use laws. Violations
of copyright laws could subject you to federal and state civil penalties and
criminal liability, as well as disciplinary action under University policies.
To familiarize yourself with copyright and fair use policies, you are
encouraged to visit the following website: <http://www.unlv.edu/committees/copyright/>.
Disability Resource Center (DRC) 每 The
Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost and Faculty Senate have
endorsed the following statement to be included
in all course syllabi. [NOTE:
Over two-thirds of the students in the DRC reported that the syllabus
statement, often read aloud by the faculty during class, directed them to the
DRC office.]
The Disability Resource Center (DRC) coordinates all
academic accommodations for students with documented disabilities. The DRC is the
official office to review and house disability documentation for students, and
to provide them with an official Academic Accommodation Plan to present to the
faculty if an accommodation is warranted. Faculty should not provide students
accommodations without being in receipt of this plan.
UNLV complies
with the provisions set forth in Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, offering reasonable
accommodations to qualified students with documented disabilities. If you have
a documented disability that may require accommodations, you will need to
contact the DRC for the coordination of services. The DRC is located in the
Student Services Complex (SSC), Room 137, and the contact numbers are: VOICE
(702) 895-0866, TTY (702) 895-0652, FAX (702) 895-0651. For additional information, please visit:

Expected Learning
Outcomes 每 All
syllabi should include discussion of learning outcomes for the course.
Grading / Exams /
Grade Posting 每 All
syllabi should clearly indicate processes for grading, exams and grade posting.
Missed Class(es) / Student 每 As a general rule, a student missing a class or
laboratory assignment because of observance of a religious holiday shall have the
opportunity to make up missed work. Students must notify the instructor of
anticipated absences by the last day of late registration, August 31, 2007, to
be assured of this opportunity. Faculty may give students an additional week,
but are encouraged to set a clear deadline. NOTE: Students who represent UNLV
at any official extracurricular activity shall also have the opportunity to
make up assignments, but the student must provide official written notification
to the instructor no less than one week prior to the missed class(es).
Rebelmail 每 By policy, faculty
and staff should only e-mail students＊ Rebelmail
accounts. Rebelmail is UNLV＊s official e-mail system
for students. It is one of the primary ways students receive official
university communication. All UNLV students receive a Rebelmail
account after admission to the university.
Non-admitted students should contact the Student Help Desk at (702)
895-0761, in the Student Union Room 231, or by e-mail: studenthelp@unlv.edu. See http://rebelmail.unlv.edu/
for information.
UNLV Writing Center
One-on-one
or small group assistance with writing is available free of charge to UNLV
students at the Writing Center, located in CDC-301. Although walk-in
consultations are sometimes available, students with appointments will receive
priority assistance.
Appointments may be made in person or by calling 895-3908. The student＊s Rebel ID Card, a copy of the assignment (if possible), and two copies of any writing to be reviewed are requested for the consultation. http://writingcenter.unlv.edu/
