The Virtual Library can be found under the “Library” tab of your MyIvy account: MyIvy
Academic Honesty Statement
The College is committed to academic integrity in all its practices. The faculty value intellectual integrity and a high standard of academic conduct. Activities that violate academic integrity undermine the quality and diminish the value of educational achievement. Cheating on papers, tests or other academic works is a violation of College rules.
No student shall engage in behavior that, in the judgment of the instructor of the class, may be construed as cheating. This may include, but is not limited to, plagiarism or other forms of academic dishonesty such as the acquisition without permission of tests or other academic materials and/or distribution of these materials and other academic work. This includes students who aid and abet as well as those who attempt such behavior.
Plagiarism: Presenting within one’s own work the ideas, representations, or words of another person without customary and proper acknowledgment of that person’s authorship is considered plagiarism. Students who are unsure of what constitutes plagiarism should consult with their instructors. Claims of ignorance will not necessarily excuse the offense.
Plagiarism can take many forms and can be a punishable offense, depending on the extent and egregiousness of the incident. Some of the most common examples of plagiarism are the following:
- Deliberately copying or paraphrasing work from a source and giving no credit to the original author. For instance, if a student takes parts of a text (often cut and pasted from an internet source) and uses it to construct a research paper with no in-text citations or bibliographic page, the student is committing plagiarism.
- Willfully submitting an unchanged paper written in one class for credit in another class. (This is called self-plagiarism)
- Buying, borrowing, or sharing an assignment of any kind written by another person and turning it in as your own work.
The consequences of plagiarism are always severe, and the following are possible punishments:
- A failing grade for the plagiarized paper(s)
- A failing grade for the class
- Suspension or expulsion from Ivy Tech Community College
This list is not a specific order of applied penalties - some programs expel the student from the program for a single incident of academic dishonesty of any sort. In all cases of deliberate plagiarism, a report of the incident will be placed in the student’s permanent record. Institutions to which students seek to transfer may request information about incidents of academic dishonesty from a student’s record and may deny a student admittance based on that information.
Copyright Statement
Students shall adhere to the laws governing the use of copyrighted materials. They must ensure that their activities comply with fair use and in no way infringe on the copyright or other proprietary rights of others and that the materials used and developed at Ivy Tech Community College contain nothing unlawful, unethical, or libelous and do not constitute any violation of any right of privacy.
Inclusion Statement
Ivy Tech Muncie/Henry Co. acknowledges our shared humanity and the dignity and inherent worth of all people. By committing to an inclusive learning environment where all persons are respected, we enhance the value of the college experience.
Title IX
Ivy Tech Community College is committed to providing all members of the College community with a learning and work environment free from sexual harassment and assault. Ivy Tech students have options for getting help if they have experienced sexual assault, relationship violence, sexual harassment or stalking. This information can be found by Clicking Here.
If students write or speak about having survived sexual violence, including rape, sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking, federal law and Ivy Tech policies require that instructors share this information with the Campus Title IX Coordinator. The Campus Title IX Coordinator will contact students to let them know about accommodations and support services at the College and in the community as well as options for holding accountable the person who harmed them. When contacted, students are not required to speak with the Campus Title IX Coordinator.
If students do not want the Title IX Coordinator notified, instead of disclosing this information to their instructor, students can speak confidentially with certain individuals at the College or in the community. A list of these individuals can be found by Clicking Here, under Confidential Employees and/or Community Resources.

Student Appeal & Grievance Process
If you have an issue with a grade or your instructor, please follow the following process to ensure your concerns are handled promptly and by the appropriate person.
Students who are experiencing difficulties/conflict in a class need to speak with their instructor FIRST, unless the particular circumstances of the conflict dictate otherwise. Once that avenue of inquiry has been exhausted, students may take their concerns to the instructor's immediate supervisor, who is listed below. All concerns must be submitted in writing and should be made within 7 days of either the instructor's response or from when the incident occurred (if the situation is such that the student cannot discuss the matter with the instructor directly).
If a resolution cannot be reached at this level, the student will be directed by the instructor's supervisor to the School's Dean for further appeals.
Following this hierarchy is imperative. Students who fail to follow this procedure will be sent back to the appropriate level before their particular issues will be heard at a higher level.
Further details on this procedure can be found in the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities, which can be accessed at Ivy Tech’s website and on MyIvy, or through this Syllabus, in the College Policies & Support Services area.

Course Policies & Procedures
Instructional Method
Each week’s assignments are summarized on the calendar, accessed from the Calendar button in IvyLearn or found in the first folder of the Modules. Learning activities can be found within the Modules area of the course. It takes a great deal of discipline, self-motivation, and effective time management skills to successfully complete a virtual course, even if it is only virtual on some days. Many students find it helpful to set aside specific times each week to work on course assignments.
There will be biweekly live meetings for this course. Students will attend class through a live webinar using Zoom (Links to an external site.) each week if part of a virtual course, have the option to attend in a classroom if part of a Learn Anywhere course, or need to attend in person for a traditional course. A microphone/headset is recommended if attending a class that meets using zoom. Students with dial-up access will not be able to participate in these classes from home.
Attendance Policy
Given the clear correlation between class attendance and student success, the following standards were developed in order to emphasize the importance of class attendance:
Students missing 25% or more of class sessions in a semester course will be encouraged to continue in the course, but will receive a failing grade. Use the list below to determine how many absences are required to reach the 25% mark:
| Course Length | Meets 1/week | Meets 2/week | Meets 3/week |
| 16 weeks | 4 | 8 | 12 |
| 12 weeks | 3 | 6 | 9 |
| 8 weeks | 2 | 4 | 6 |
For courses which meet for fewer than 8 weeks or more frequently than 3 times a week, simply calculate the total number of meetings for the semester and divide by four to determine the 25% mark. Students are responsible for knowing how many absences they have in the course.
Students attending 100% of class sessions as determined by the instructor will be awarded extra credit (as determined by the instructor and/or department policy) in recognition of this achievement.
Students who are assigned a failing grade because of their lack of attendance and who believe that an extraordinary circumstance beyond their control caused an absence may appeal the absence violation directly to the instructor, who will determine whether the situation warrants an exception, based on the standards and expectations set by the Dean of the School in which the course is offered. The appeal must be in writing, include appropriate and verifiable supporting documentation, and be made within 7 days of the final absence which led to the failing grade. Students should continue to attend the course and complete course requirements during the appeal process.
Federal financial aid recipients who withdraw or stop attending all classes before the 60 percent point in the term may owe money back to the federal government and/or Ivy Tech.
Don’t Get Dropped from Class!
Ivy Tech performs administrative drops for students who do not “attend” class early in the semester. Students need to complete an assignment (which may include, but are not limited to, such things as attending a live or synchronous session; posting in a graded discussion board, blog or wiki; or submitting a written assignment or taking a quiz) prior to Attendance Drop Deadline listed below in order to avoid being dropped for non-attendance. Posting any items not related to the graded assignments will be reviewed but may be disqualified for attendance purposes.
Attendance Drop Deadline: Tuesday, June 14, 2022 – Eastern Time.
Grades
All grades will be maintained in IvyLearn’s online grade book. Students are responsible for tracking their progress by referring to the online grade book. Students can generally expect to receive grades and feedback within seven days of the assignment due date. If exceptions occur, the instructor may notify students of changes to this expectation.
Due Dates & Deadlines
The Syllabus and Calendar are two important tools to help students understand the course, student and instructor expectations, and deadlines. Both tools can be found in IvyLearn. The Calendar can be accessed from the main navigation area on the left-hand side of IvyLearn.
Students are required to submit work on time for a chance to receive credit. Deadlines for each week/assignment are summarized on the calendar. Students should check the calendar frequently for deadlines and to be aware of what to expect next. Deadlines are listed in Eastern Time and are subject to change. If you are in a time zone other than Eastern, please read how to update your time zone.
Students are responsible for timely assignment submission. Should a computer system or network go down, students must still turn in work in a timely manner. Don’t wait until the last minute. Plan ahead by seeking alternative means for submitting work before it is due. Local libraries and all Ivy Tech Community College campuses can serve as alternative resources. Contact the closest/most convenient campus or other public lab for schedules and Internet availability. Not having access to the required software on a home or work computer is not a legitimate excuse for turning in homework late.
Make-Up Policy
Full credit will be given for homework assignments and quizzes in MyLab completed on or before the due date. After the deadline, assignments or quizzes can be still submitted up to Sunday, July 24, but only 80% credit will be received. Assignment deadlines will NOT be extended with any reason. NO exceptions will be granted!
An extension can be granted if one of the below criteria is proven true:
- If there is an outage of the IvyLearn system that is verified by central system administrators, instructors will provide an extension for students to submit work at no penalty.
- If the student has documentation of serious illness or death of a family member, instructors will work with the student to determine an alternate deadline.
Not having reliable home internet access is not an excuse for missing a deadline. Plan accordingly to submit your assignments BEFORE the last hours up to the deadline. A request for an extension due to a lack of internet access (internet down, computer broken, not enough time to finish, etc) will NOT be given.
If an exam is missed, then a student's grade will be entered as a zero. However, the final exam can replace the lowest exam score if it is higher than Exam 1, Exam 2, or Exam 3's score. This can only be done for one exam.
Students are expected to attend and participate regularly in class meetings, online learning activities and other activities assigned could be part of a course. Faculty are required to report student participation in compliance with institutional policies and federal financial aid guidelines. Faculty and staff shall be sensitive to students’ religious beliefs and observances, including an expectation that instructors make reasonable arrangements when a student must miss an academic exercise due to their religious observance. When notified in advance (72 hours), and when possible, faculty will make allowances for students to make up missed work.
Last Day to Withdraw
If a student wishes to withdraw from this course, students are responsible for officially withdrawing through MyIvy. For assistance with this, please contact your local registrar's office. Look up your registrar's contact information. For more information: Read the Refund Policy regarding the 100% refund timeline.
The last day to withdraw from this course is Sunday, July 17, 2022.
