What
if an emergency occurs at home while I'm in class?
In case of an off-campus emergency, a student may be contacted
through Student Affairs. The office will locate you on campus
in the event of a family crisis or other urgent situation.
Call (513)745-5670. If the office is closed or it is after
5:00 p.m., call Security at (513)745-5707.
What
if I have to miss class due to an emergency?
If you expect to be absent from class one week or more because
of a personal or family crisis or illness, you should contact
Student Affairs immediately so that your instructors may
be notified. In no way is this exchange of information to
be interpreted as an excuse for not completing coursework.
It is your responsibility to contact each instructor personally
to arrange to make up coursework, or for instructions for
withdrawing from the class. Instructors may withdraw students
for excessive unexcused absences, or cuts. If you do not
contact your instructor, he or she may withdraw you from
the class. However, withdrawals initiated by a professor
rather than a student can have a detrimental effect on the
student's academic record.
You
are also responsible for the material presented in class.
Arrangements for make-up work and tests are strictly between
you and your instructor. At the beginning of the quarter,
your instructor will make clear his or her expectations
in regard to attendance, work assignments, and make-up work.
Where
do I go if I have problems or complaints?
If you have problems or concerns as a student, direct them
to Student Affairs, which acts as liaison with the Student
Ombuds. Complete information about student grievance policies
is in the Appendix at the back of this handbook. Student
Affairs receives and appropriately refers all grievances
filed.
If
I’m returning to college, what happens to any poor
grades I might have received in the past?
If you have been readmitted to the university after an absence
of three or more years, and would like to give your grade
point average a “fresh start,” ask about the Fresh
Start Program. Your GPA could be calculated beginning with
your re-entry into the university if you meet a number of
conditions. For information on how to apply, contact Student
Affairs, (513)745-5670.
