Email Netiquette
I am usually quick to respond to student e-mails. However, student e-mails tend to do several things that try my patience. I have a new policy, effective Fall 2019, that outlines why I will not respond to certain e-mails students send. Multiple rationales follow.
Student Absence for University-Sponsored Events and Activities If you intend to be absent for a university-sponsored event or activity, you (or the event sponsor) must notify the instructor at least two weeks prior to the date of the planned absence. At that time the instructor will set a date and time when make-up assignments will be completed.
Social Security and FERPA Statement
It is the policy of The University of Texas at Tyler to protect the confidential nature of social security numbers. The University has changed its computer programming so that all students have an identification number. The electronic transmission of grades (e.g., via e-mail) risks violation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act; grades will not be transmitted electronically.
Grade Grievances
Grade grievances can be filed only after final grades have been posted after the end of the semester, but must be made within 90 days of the semester end. To file a grade grievance, refer to the appropriate section of the UTT Catalog (p. 38).
Academic Honesty Statement Cheating, plagiarism (submitting another person’s material as one’s own), or doing work for another person who will receive academic credit is impermissible. This includes the use of unauthorized books, notebooks, or other sources in order to secure or give help during an examination, the unauthorized copying of examinations, assignments, reports, or term papers, or the presentation of unacknowledged material as if it were the student’s own work. Disciplinary action may be taken beyond the academic discipline administered by the faculty member who teaches the course in which the cheating took place.
Civility Statement Students are expected to interact with instructors and peers in a respectful manner that enhances the learning environment.
