Instructors combine a variety of effective learning activities and instructional formats, creating a flexible environment that challenges and supports students.
Accommodations for students with disabilities
In compliance with and in the spirit of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Department of Occupational Therapy would like to work with you if you have a documented disability (e.g. physical, learning, psychiatric, vision, hearing, etc.) that will impact your academic experience. If you wish to discuss reasonable academic accommodations, contact the Office of Disability Services:
Office of Disability Services
Woodlawn Place (Building 86)
2210 Wilbur St.
Kalamazoo, MI 49008-5277
Phone: (269) 387-2116
The Office of Disability Services will make an official determination of disability and will send an email notification to your instructor informing them of the reasonable accommodations. This step must occur before the instructor provides the accommodations in the course. Then, you are expected to communicate with the instructor directly about accommodations in a timely manner at the beginning of the semester. Accommodations are not retroactive; they begin after notification.
Diversity and inclusion
The 澳门六合彩官网直播 Department of Occupational Therapy is an inclusive community of learners that embraces, respects and advocates for human diversity. We have a sustained commitment to eliminating disparities in health care and other human services by using dynamic methods to infuse this perspective into curricula, clinical practice, and research.
The 澳门六合彩官网直播 Office for Diversity and Inclusion offers a number of programs to the 澳门六合彩官网直播 community on various topics including, but not limited to: race, gender, sexual orientation, disability and religious tolerance.
Academic Honesty
As a student, you are responsible for awareness and understanding of the policies and procedures in the or that pertain to academic integrity. These cover cheating, fabrication, falsification, forgery, multiple submission, plagiarism, complicity and computer misuse.
If there is reason to believe a student has been involved in academic dishonesty, they will:
- be referred to the Office of Student Conduct
- be given the opportunity to review the charges
- have the opportunity for a hearing
Consult with your instructor if you are uncertain about an issue of academic honesty prior to the submission of an assignment or test.
Professional Behavior
As a student, you are expected to adhere to the approved disruptive behavior policy in the graduate and undergraduate handbooks. You are expected to conduct yourself professionally in the classroom to provide a classroom environment that is conducive to learning for all students. This includes turning off cellphones during class time and treating fellow students and the faculty member with respect.
If a student's behavior interferes with the learning environment, the instructor will contact the student in person or via email to set up a time to meet with the student to discuss the situation to create a plan to correct the problem. The instructor will warn the student of the potential for having points deducted and will specify the number of points that will be deducted if the behavior continues. If the student continues to disrupt the class, the specified number of points will be deducted from the grade for unprofessional behavior. Students will be notified within 24 hours if their behavior is considered unprofessional and warrants unprofessional behavior points deducted from their total grade points.
