my.franklin.edu. After the first week of class, a withdrawal will result in a grade of “W” (Withdrawn) on the student’s academic record but will not be calculated in the grade point average. Tuition charges and/or refunds will be based on the date the student submits an Add/Drop Form to the University (see “Tuition Refunds on Course Withdrawals”).
A student who either never attends or participates, or stops attending or participating in a class but fails to submit an Add/Drop Form to withdraw is obligated for full tuition and will receive a grade (possibly a failing grade of “Z”) from the instructor based on all work assigned and/or completed.
Based on evidence of excessive absence, non-participation, or missed exams as defined in the course syllabus, a faculty member may initiate a student’s withdrawal through the Registrar’s Office. The Financial Aid Office also may request the Registrar to withdraw a student for non- attendance or non-participation. In either case, the tuition and payment policy will be applied (see “Tuition Refunds on Course Withdrawals”).
The deadline for a student to withdraw from a class is the Sunday prior to the last scheduled week of class.
Financial Aid Consequences Students receiving any type of financial aid or veteran’s benefits may lose part or all of such assistance if they stop attending or stop participating or withdraw from one or more courses in any one trimester. Any over-award that results from withdrawing, nonattendance, or non-participation must be repaid before further financial assistance may be received. In considering whether or not to withdraw from, stop attending, or stop participating in a course, students receiving financial aid or veterans’ benefits should first consult
with the Financial Aid office.
ACADEMIC INTERRUPTION DUE TO MILITARY SERVICE Franklin University will provide students serving in the Uniformed Services or who are the spouse, domestic partner, or dependent child of a member of the Uniformed Services, who experience documented unexpected/unforeseen circumstances related to service in the military, case by case options for either continuing their course of study without negative consequences or withdrawal from courses with full refund of tuition and fees relative to that academic term.
WRITING GUIDELINES
At a minimum, all courses at Franklin University will follow these writing guidelines. Program Chairs or Lead Faculty of General Education courses do have the option of creating specific guidelines for their program or course that strengthen these minimum guidelines. • Adherence to APA Documentation Style (To include in-text citations and reference list)
• Adherence to APA Paper Format (To include double spacing, 1 inch margins, 12 point serif font [e.g., Times New Roman, Courier], and page numbers in top right corner)
• Adherence to APA Writing Skills (To include proper grammar and correct spelling and punctuation)
TURNITIN.COM
Turnitin.com is used by Franklin University to assist students and faculty in detecting plagiarism. In many assignments, the student will be required to submit a paper to
Turnitin.com. By submitting the paper ahead of the assignment deadline, the student will have time to take
17
corrective action if feedback from Turnitin indicates a similarity match. A similarity match occurs when Turnitin sees an exact or very close word-for-word match between the work submitted and a part of another paper, website, or article in its database. Faculty are encouraged to use
Turnitin.com as a learning tool for students. All material submitted to the website is encrypted. The student’s paper is seen only by the student and the instructor. Any copyrights or intellectual capital that is associated with the paper remains with the student.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
The purpose of education is to advance one’s own intellectual skills and knowledge and to demonstrate the outcomes of these efforts. An essential and shared value in higher education is presenting one’s own work and properly acknowledging that of others. Any violation of this principle constitutes a violation of academic integrity and is liable to result in a charge(s) of academic dishonesty. Forms of academic dishonesty include, but are not limited to:
• Plagiarism — submitting all or part of another’s work as one’s own in an academic exercise, such as an examination, computer program, or written assignment.
Some examples of plagiarism: 1. Failure to use APA standards to properly cite the work of others. 2. Cutting and pasting from other sources without citation. 3. Submitting a purchased term paper, in whole or in part.
• Recycling assignments — submitting one’s own work, which was submitted and graded for an earlier course or section, unless submission of that work has been pre-approved by the current instructor.
• Cheating — using or attempting to use unauthorized materials (e.g., books, notes, wireless devices) on an examination or assignment, improperly obtaining, or attempting to obtain, copies of an examination or answers to an examination, or using a false name or email address on a test or assignment.
• Facilitating Academic Dishonesty — helping another commit an act of academic dishonesty, such as substituting for an examination or completing an assignment for someone else or making assignments available for another student to copy.
• Fabrication — altering or transmitting, without authorization, academic information or records.
I. Reporting a Charge of Academic Dishonesty If a faculty member determines that a student has violated the Academic Integrity Policy the faculty member will provide the student with notification of the charge of academic dishonesty through Franklin University email within seven (7) calendar days after discovery of the incident occurs and followed by mail delivery to the student’s address on record. The written charge will include the particular allegation; names of other participants or witness(es) where appropriate; and the date, time, location and other relevant circumstances of the incident.
A disciplinary notation for academic dishonesty will be entered on the student’s academic record by the University Registrar.
II. Penalties for Academic Dishonesty A. First Incident The Lead Faculty member and the course faculty member will determine the penalty for the first incident, with the penalty ranging from a score of zero on the particular item being submitted to a failing
