Students are expected to logon to Blackboard at least once every 24 hours to ensure that they remain on schedule and aware of assignments or any changes to class scheduling. All assignments are due on the due date and at the specified time, and must all be submitted via Blackboard. All major written assignments will be submitted through designated TurnItIn links accessible via Blackboard.

All students are required to access their university email accounts at least twice per week as important information will be shared using this form of communication. In emergency situations such as natural disasters, important information regarding university functions and operations will be communicated via email.

Students will be graded on the achievement of the objectives, not on the effort put into completing assignments. All online discussions, written assignments and documentation of others’ ideas and words in presentations must be in APA 6th edition format. Students have one opportunity to complete each assignment. Papers cannot be rewritten and presentations cannot be resubmitted in an attempt to obtain a higher grade.
