Disability
If you qualify for accommodations because of a disability, please submit to your professor a letter from Disability Services in a timely
manner (for exam accommodations provide your letter at least one week prior to the exam) so that your needs can be addressed. Disability
Services determines accommodations based on documented disabilities. Contact Disability Services at 303-492-8671 or by e-mail at
dsinfo@colorado.edu. If you have a temporary medical condition or injury, see Temporary Medical Conditions: Injuries, Surgeries, and
Illnesses guidelines under Quick Links at Disability Services website and discuss your needs with your professor.
Religious observances
Campus policy regarding religious observances requires that faculty make every effort to deal reasonably and fairly with all students who,
because of religious obligations, have conflicts with scheduled exams, assignments or required attendance. In this class, please let the
instructor know about such conflicts as soon as you studied the schedule for this semester in particular the exam dates.
Policy on Plagiarism
All students of the University of Colorado at Boulder are responsible for knowing and adhering to the academic integrity policy of this
institution. Violations of this policy may include: cheating, plagiarism, aid of academic dishonesty, fabrication, lying, bribery, and
threatening behavior. All incidents of academic misconduct shall be reported to the Honor Code Council (honor@colorado.edu; 303-7352273). Students who are found to be in violation of the academic integrity policy will be subject to both academic sanctions from the
faculty member and non-academic sanctions (including but not limited to university probation, suspension, or expulsion). Other
information on the Honor Code can be found at http://www.colorado.edu/policies/honor.html and at
http://www.colorado.edu/academics/honorcode/
If you are bothered by some aspect of the class, identify what it is that is bothering you and center the discussion on that issue.
Address issues that concern you early. Problems are easier to resolve before they fester.
Consider whether it is best to address your concerns in class or in a separate appointment with the instructor. Remember, behavior
that disrupts your fellow classmates is not acceptable.
Abusive speech or behavior will not be tolerated in any interaction between students or between student and instructor. If an
instructor feels that your speech or behavior is abusive, you will be asked to leave the room. If you believe an instructor has
become abusive, you may leave the room and talk with the department chairperson. Debate and discussion can continue when all
parties proceed with mutual respect.
If mutual respect cannot be restored, either you or the instructor may take the issue to the department chairperson or the Campus
Ombuds Office.
