IACC POLICIES AND GUIDANCE.
STUDENT’S RIGHTS
Students have the right
to freedom from discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, creed,
political beliefs, national origin, age, or handicap.
Students should have accurate information
relating to maintenance of acceptable academic standing, graduation requirements, program student learning outcomes, and individual
course objectives and requirements.
Personally Identifiable (Private) Information
Personally identifiable,
or private, information includes age, date and place and birth. It also includes grades, Social Security Number, class schedule,
residency, and class rank. None of these items may be released without the student’s permission.
Right to
File a Grade Appeal
Instructors are responsible for stating clearly the instructional objectives of the course at
the beginning of each term and for evaluating student achievement in a manner consistent with these objectives. Students are
responsible for maintaining standards of academic performance established for each course in which they are enrolled. Instructors
are responsible for determining and assigning final course grades. Graded examinations, papers, and other materials used as
a basis for evaluating a student’s achievement will be available to the student for inspection and discussion. Students
may appeal instructors’ grading decisions. The burden of proof, however, rests with the student. All appeals will be
dealt with by the IACC Education Board. All students work will be assessed by the tuotr and then verifed by
another occupationally qualified tutor to maintain quality and consistency of grading prior to certification.
STUDENTS’
RESPONSIBILITIES
Academic Integrity
Academic dishonesty undermines the educational
experience at IACC, lowers morale by engendering a skeptical attitude about the quality of education, and negatively affects
the relationship between students and instructors.
Instructors are expected to use reasonably practical means of preventing
and detecting academic dishonesty. Any student found responsible for having engaged in academic dishonesty will be subject
to academic penalty and/or disciplinary action.
Classroom Behavior
The classroom instructor is responsible
for all classroom conduct, behavior, and discipline. IACC policy permits only enrolled students, persons authorized by
the instructor, and administrative personnel to be admitted to instructional areas during scheduled periods.
Any person
or persons in unauthorized attendance or causing a disturbance during scheduled course activity shall be identified by the
instructor and asked to leave.
