13 courses. Harvest read no subject for these courses. That is a gap in our reading of the catalog, not in the college's catalog; each course is shown as we hold it until the reading is fixed.
Academic Integrity Policy
Student accepts responsibility but challenge the recommended sanction(s) and requested resolution via an appeal. An Academic Code of Conduct Resolution meeting will be held within ten (10) days of receiving the Academic Code of Conduct Committee Response Form indication from the student. The Academic Code of Conduct Resolution meeting will include the college Dean, and a second academic administrator. At the conclusion of the meeting the student may accept the resolution and recommended sanctions, or they can request a hearing through Formal Academic Hearing procedures (outlined below). If the student requests a hearing, it will be scheduled within ten (10) days after the Academic Code of Conduct Resolution meeting
Note: Members of the Immaculata University community, including all students, must be aware of, and must abide by, the University policies published in the Immaculata University Policy Manual (IUPM) . The IUPM is located on the University portal ( MyIU ) and the Student Hub in the University’s Learning Management System, Moodle .
The University will grant a maximum of 24 credit hours in the General Examinations and from three to six credits in the various Subject Examinations, provided that the required score has been achieved and that Subject Examinations have been approved for acceptance by Immaculata. Credits for examinations successfully completed will be transcripted upon receipt of official CLEP scores. A grade of P is given; credits earned through CLEP transfer are not computed in the GPA. Ordinarily, a student may not retake a CLEP within three months of an unsuccessful attempt or a failed course in a corresponding subject. For information concerning examination areas acceptable for credit, students should inquire at the Center for Undergraduate Advising. A fee will be charged for the CLEP examination as well as for the transcription of CLEP credits.
Specific academic programs may have internally or externally mandated requirements that must also be met. Such requirements are published in the Catalog in the section for those specific academic majors. Students participating in Federal Financial Aid or other student aid programs are subject to specific satisfactory academic progress requirements that impact continued financial aid eligibility. The University administers financial aid programs according to the regulations set forth by the United States Department of Education and other regulatory bodies. These requirements are articulated in the Satisfactory Academic Progress Federal and Other Student Aid Programs policy.
Having met prerequisites and, with approval from the academic advisor, a student may register to audit a course without receiving grades or credits. Audited courses must be indicated with an “AUD” in the credit-hour column on the registration form. Tuition for a course audited is the same as for a course taken for credit. While attendance at all class sessions is expected, completion of assignments, including examinations and term papers, is not required.
Each student is expected to exercise reasonable judgment regarding class attendance and is accountable for all work missed because of absence. Students are expected to notify instructors about absences and to know from the instructor’s syllabus what is required. Short-term absences (one week or less for illness, funerals, accidents, etc.) should be reported directly to the instructor. Long-term absences (more than one week) should be reported to the Center for Undergraduate Advising. Medical or other documentation may be required.
Students who have completed all of their coursework towards dissertation (EDL 798-799-800, HED 798-799-800, or PSYC 798-799-800) but need additional time to complete the dissertation will be required to register for continuous registration status. For the first semester of continuous registration (EDL 000, HED 000 or PSYC 000), dissertation students will be charged the equivalent of a one-credit doctoral course. In subsequent semesters of EDL 000, HED 000 or PSYC 000, students will be charged the equivalent of a three-credit course. Continuous registration will be recorded on the transcript with Pass/Fail grading but will count for 0 credits. An “IP” will be assigned to EDL-HED-PSYC 800 until the successful completion of the dissertation. All students involved in the dissertation or thesis process must be registered. A student must be registered during the semester in which he/she defends his/her dissertation.
Academic progress will be measured at the end of each semester. Students who were enrolled during the fall and/or spring semesters and failed to meet the qualitative and/or quantitative requirements for academic progress can attempt to complete additional credits and bring up their GPA during the summer sessions. However, only credits earned at Immaculata University will affect the GPA. Credits taken at another university will only affect total credits. Upon completion of the additional credits, a new determination of academic progress will be made. Transfer students are evaluated for academic progress in May, after the first spring semester attended at Immaculata University. Students who transfer in for the fall semester are evaluated on their academic performance at the end of their first fall and spring semesters. Students that transfer in beginning with the spring semester are evaluated on their performance during their first spring semester. All financial aid applicants are subject to the Satisfactory Academic Standards regardless of whether or not they received financial assistance previously. Failures and withdrawals are courses attempted, but not completed. Incompletes are not counted toward credits completed until after the course work is successfully completed and posted by the Registrar. Repeat courses will not count toward credits completed for satisfactory academic progress since the credits were already counted toward the quantitative standards the first time the course was completed.
Consonant with the mission of Immaculata, theology courses are designed to enrich and develop the whole person of any faith. Courses emphasize the value of religious experience in history, human thought, and social responsibility. A student who believes that the content of the theology requirement raises an issue of conscience may seek an exemption from the dean of the appropriate college.
With the support of the academic department and the family of the student, the student’s college dean or the VPAA initiates a request. Undergraduate students who were determined to be in good academic standing by college dean/VPAA and who were within a semester of completing their studies (usually 18 credits or less) may be recommended for a posthumous degree. Other forms of recognition may be available for students who do not meet the requirements for the awarding of a posthumous degree. The college dean/VPAA will provide a recommendation along with a verification of the student’s academic standing and degree progress. Petitions shall be forwarded to the VPAA and dean for review and recommendation, then to the President for approval.
Once an account is assigned to a collection agency, all communication by the student must be made through the collection agency. Accounts are reported to credit bureaus. Students are responsible to reimburse Immaculata for fees of any collection agency, which may be based on a percentage of the debt up to a maximum of 40% of the debt, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred in the collection efforts. All payments must be made directly to the collection agency; Immaculata cannot accept direct payments once an account is placed with a collection agency. The account is considered paid in full when the total debt is paid.
In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) as well as Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Immaculata University is committed to providing reasonable academic accommodations to students diagnosed with a disability who are seeking accommodations. According to ADA and Section 504, the determination of a disability is made only when an individual’s impairment substantially limits his/her ability to perform one or more of the person’s major life activities. Also, an institution is required to provide accommodation only to individuals who have a record of such impairment. In order for students with disabilities to receive services, they must submit the appropriate documentation for their disability and for their need for accommodation. Evaluations and reports must be completed by licensed, certified professionals.
