Electronic Communication
University policy specifies that students are responsible for all
official correspondences sent to their standard University of Iowa
e-mail address (@uiowa.edu). Students should check their account
frequently. (Operations Manual, III.II.15. 2.
k.11.)
Academic Fraud
Plagiarism
and any other activities when students present work that is not their
own are academic fraud and are considered by the College to be a very
serious matter. Academic fraud is reported by the instructor to the
departmental DEO who enforces the departmental consequences. The
Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs and Curriculum is also
informed. The Associate Dean enforces collegiate consequences which may
included suspension or expulsion. See the CLAS
Academic
Handbook.
Making a Suggestion or a
Complaint
Students
with a suggestion or complaint should first visit the instructor, then
the course supervisor and the departmental Associate chair. Paul Kleiber. Complaints must be made
within six months of the incident. See the CLAS
Academic
Handbook.
Accommodations for
Disabilities
A student seeking academic accommodations should register with Student
Disability Services and meet privately with the course instructor to
make particular arrangements. For more information, visit this site.

Understanding Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment subverts the mission of the University and threatens
the well-being of students, faculty, and staff. All
members of the UI community have a responsibility to uphold this
mission and to contribute to a safe environment that enhances learning.
Incidents of sexual harassment should be reported immediately. See the UI Comprehensive
Guide on Sexual Harassment at www.uiowa.edu/~eod/policies/sexual-harassment-guide/index.html
for assistance, definitions, and the full University policy.
Reacting Safely to Severe Weather
In
severe weather, the class members should seek shelter in the innermost
part of the building, if possible at the lowest level, staying clear of
windows and free-standing expanses. The class will continue if possible
when the event is over. (Operations Manual, IV. 16.14.
Scroll down to sections e and i for severe weather information.)
