EMU UNIVERSITY-LEVEL POLICIES & PROCEDURES FOR STUDENTS

In addition to the articulated course specific policies and expectation, students are responsible for understanding all applicable
university guidelines, policies, and procedures.  The EMU Student Handbook is the primary resource provided to students to
ensure that they have access to all university policies, support resources, and student's rights and responsibilities.  Changes may
be made to the EMU Student Handbook whenever necessary, and shall be effective immediately, and/or as of the date on which a
policy is formally adopted, and/or the date specified in the amendment.  Electing not to access the link provided below does not
absolve a student of responsibility.  For questions about any university policy, procedure, practice, or resources, please contact
the Office of the Ombuds: 248 Student Center, 734.487.0074, [email protected], or visit the website at
www.emich.edu/ombuds.
CLICK HERE to access the University Course Policies
Religious Holidays: Students must provide advance notice by in writing to their instructors in order to be allowed to make
up work, including examinations that they miss as a result of absence from class due to observance of religious holidays.
Classroom Conduct: Any successful learning experience requires mutual respect. Neither instructor nor student should be
subject to behavior that is rude, disruptive, intimidating, or demeaning. Views may differ on what counts as rudeness or
courtesy. If you are not sure what constitutes good conduct in this classroom, ask the instructor. The instructor has primary
responsibility for and control over classroom behavior and maintenance of academic integrity.
Academic Integrity: Intellectual integrity is the most fundamental value of an academic community. Students and faculty
alike are expected to uphold the highest standards of honesty and integrity in their scholarship. No departure from the
highest standards of intellectual integrity, whether by cheating, plagiarism, fabrication, falsification, or aiding and abetting
dishonesty by another person, can be tolerated in a community of scholars.
Plagiarism: Plagiarism occurs when a writer deliberately passes off another's words or ideas without acknowledging their
source. For example, turning another's work as your own is plagiarism. If you plagiarize in this class, you will likely fail the
assignment on which you are working and your case may be passed to the university for additional disciplinary action.
Because of the design and nature of this course, it will take as much (or more) work for you to plagiarize in it than it will to
actually complete the work of the class.
Plagiarism is different from misuse of sources, occasions when a writer does not properly cite a source, misuses quotations,
includes too much of an original source in a paraphrase or summary, or commits similar unintentional violations of academic
protocol. If you misuse sources, we will work together on appropriately incorporating and/or citing the sources. Note that
some audiences/instructors will consider misuse of sources to be plagiarism; for this reason, it is extreme important for you
to identify the conventions associated with source use and citations in any class (or writing situation).
Failure to report may result in the termination of your SEVIS record and even loss of status. If you have questions or
concerns, contact the Office of International Students at 734.487.3116. Students can visit the Office of International Students
(OIS) website at http://www.emich.edu/ois/index.html.
