Policies

Participation

Students taking fully online courses, or online courses with minimized face-to-face meeting times or residencies, are required to check the course site regularly, participating in the daily work of the course. At a minimum, students should log in twice a week. Students demonstrating little or no activity within the first three weeks will be dropped from the course.

Academic Integrity

Under all circumstances, students are expected to be honest in their dealings with faculty, administrative staff, and fellow students. In speaking and/or correspondence with members of the college community, students must give an accurate representation of the facts at hand. Students must submit work that fairly and accurately reflects their level of accomplishment. Any work that is not a product of the student's own effort is considered dishonest. Students may not submit the same work for more than one course. A student may be suspended or expelled for academic dishonesty. Please refer to the SCAD e-Learning Student Handbook (PDF, 364 KB) for additional information regarding the policy on academic honesty.

TEACH Act

The materials in an e-learning course are strictly for the use of students enrolled in the course for purposes associated with the course and may not be retained or further disseminated. Students should acknowledge their understanding of TEACH Act copyright. Please read through and respond to the Copyright Notice (in the course menu).

Americans with Disabilities Act

In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, SCAD offers integrated educational services to assist students with disabilities to obtain a college education. For more information on services for students with disabilities, please contact the coordinator of Disability Services at 912.525.4665.

Evacuation Information

If your program includes visits, meetings, or residencies on the SCAD campus, it is important to familiarize yourself with the most appropriate route to emergency exits in classroom buildings. Emergency exits are indicated on charts posted in classrooms, hallways, or in the stairwells. Should a drill or emergency occur that would require evacuation, the class is to meet in a predetermined location away from the building. Professors will take attendance in an effort to account for all students.

College Identification

Students meeting face-to-face or participating in residencies on campus will need a valid SCAD ID and photo ID to enter the college buildings. This procedure is intended to help ensure the safety of all students and college personnel at SCAD.

Material Safety Data Sheets

The college is committed to providing a safe environment for students and staff. This commitment is reflected in the development of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) on file in each building. Chemicals and solvents utilized in buildings must have an MSDS on file. If you should visit the SCAD campus for a class or residency, consult the MSDS log before using any chemicals or solvents. The departmental administrative assistant can advise students of the location of the building log. Students and staff who wish to use chemicals and solvents not currently in the MSDS log must provide appropriate MSDS information to the departmental administrative assistant and receive approval for use.
