Incomplete
A student will be eligible for a grade of “Incomplete” only if he/she: 1) has completed at least 51% of the work
at a passing level, 2) is unable to complete the work for a serious reason beyond his or her control, and 3) files
a signed agreement with the instructor outlining the work to be completed and the timeframe in which that
work will be completed. The student is responsible for initiating this process and all incomplete forms must be
sent to the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs prior to the start of study days in that semester.
Please refer to the following link for more details. Temple University’s Incomplete Policy. (Policy #02.10.13)
Netiquette
Your instructor and fellow students wish to foster a safe online learning environment. All opinions and
experiences, no matter how different or controversial they may be perceived, must be respected in the tolerant
spirit of academic discourse. You are encouraged to comment, question, or critique an idea but you are not to
attack an individual.
Our differences, some of which are outlined in the University's nondiscrimination statement, will add richness
to this learning experience. Please consider that sarcasm and humor can be misconstrued in online interactions
and generate unintended disruptions. Working as a community of learners, we can build a polite and respectful
course atmosphere.
Technical Support
For a listing of technical support services available to Temple University students, see the General Education
Program's Tech Support page.
Counseling Services
As a student, you may experience a range of issues that can cause barriers to learning, such as strained
relationships, increased anxiety, substance use, feeling down, difficulty concentrating and/or lack of motivation.
These concerns or stressful events may lead to diminished academic performance and ability to participate in
daily activities. Counseling services are available to assist you. Please contact the Tuttleman Counseling Center.
Academic Honesty
According to the University Student Code of Conduct, students must not commit, attempt to commit, aid,
encourage, facilitate, or solicit the commission of academic dishonesty and impropriety including plagiarism,
academic cheating, and selling lecture notes or other information provided by an instructor without the
instructor’s authorization. Violations may result in failing the assignment and/or failing the course, and/or other
