    2015-2016 Graduate Catalog Amendments (Revised 3/11/16) (pg. 26) ATTENDANCE Delete the present policy. Add: ATTENDANCE Policy change. Graduate students are expected to attend all classes, laboratories and field work for which they are enrolled, and complete all work assigned by the instructor. This policy applies to all online and face-to-face classes. 1. Park University confirms that students have engaged in an academically-related activity in the first two weeks of the term/semester for each course in which they are enrolled. Academically-related activities include, but are not limited to: physically attending a class where there is an opportunity for direct interaction between the instructor and students; submitting an academic assignment; taking an exam, an interactive tutorial or computer-assisted instruction; attending a study group that is assigned by the school; participating in an online discussion about academic matters; or initiating contact with a faculty member to ask a question about the academic subject studied in the course. Academically-related activities do not include logging into an online class without active participation, or participating in academic counseling or advisement. 2. Students who have not engaged in an academically-related activity within the first two weeks of class will be withdrawn from the course(s). International nonimmigrant students who are withdrawn from a course may lose their lawful nonimmigrant status. Student-athletes who are withdrawn from a course(s) may jeopardize their eligibility. 3. An absence is a matter between the student and the instructor. The instructor may excuse absences for valid reasons, but missed work must be made up within the semester/term of enrollment.

  • Lindenwood University • 2006-2007 Undergraduate Catalog Lindenwood’S “Proficient Graduates” Guarantee
    Lindenwood University • 2006-2007 Undergraduate Catalog Lindenwood’s “Proficient Graduates” Guarantee Success Lindenwood University has an excellent placement rate for its graduates because it educates the whole person. A degree from Lindenwood means that the holder is adept at reading, writing, speaking, and problem-solving – all the traits by which society judges one’s education level and general competence. That is why more than 98 percent of our students enter a professional job or graduate school within six months of completing their univer- sity degrees. We measure our success by the success of our graduates. We help our students acquire these traits through several means: Liberating Arts Education Our standard-setting General Education program assures that every Lindenwood graduate has been steeped in the essential knowledge amassed by humankind across the ages and has acquired the basic thinking and com- munication skills needed for both adapting to and shaping the world. Lindenwood’s broad-based curriculum in the arts and sciences produces free men and women – enlightened, self-determining, productive citizens of a democracy. Preparation for Life We encourage each student to build a Talent Transcript. This distinctive résumé documents not only the student’s academic preparation and career interests but also his or her leadership posts, real-world experience, work experience, and co-curricular achievements. It is through this investment in our students that we encour- age holistic development: growth in the cognitive, spiritual/ethical, physical, and social realms. Essentially this means that our graduates are educated, not just trained. The Guarantee We evaluate each student’s proficiency in written communication not only in the freshman composition courses but also following the completion of the second composition course, when a special writing-proficiency assess- ment is given.
