However, if the student’s appeal is denied, he/she may re-appeal if additional supporting documentation is available, if extenuating circumstances were a factor or after an appropriate time frame has passed as determined by the Student Services faculty committee.
Students who have been placed on Academic Separation for a second or subsequent semester or their appeal was denied by the Student Services faculty committee, may appeal to the vice president of academic services or the vice president of student services. Students who wish to pursue this option must notify the dean of student success in writing of their intent to appeal. The student has the right to submit any additional supporting documentation if available to add to their previous appeal documentation. The decision of the Vice President
is final. Further appeals will not be considered until the student can prove substantial academic progress from another institution. Substantial academic progress is defined as a minimum requirement of at least 12 degree/certificate credit hours completed in two consecutive academic years with a minimum of a 2.25 grade point average.
Classroom Etiquette
We are committed to your success, here at Sandburg and have many resources and services to help you. Your success however, begins with you. Successful students at Sandburg adhere to some general classroom policies such as:
• No mobile phones in the classroom. When you are in the classroom, be engaged in the discussion and activities. You will get much more out of the course if you save your texting and social media for later.
• Attendance is expected and crucial to your success in the course. Avoid getting in the habit of skipping class, showing up late or scheduling other appointments during class. You signed up for the class at that time so make sure you are there.
• Show respect to your instructor and classmates. College is a time to learn and grow as a person and be open to new ideas and acceptance of the differences in all of us.
• Adhere to individual classroom policies. Each instructor has the right to establish policies for their class. Read and understand your syllabus and follow the individual classroom and grading policies.
• Take ownership for your success. You will be expected to do a lot of work outside the classroom. Establish your priorities and plan realistically with your time.
• When you are in the classroom, be engaged in the discussion and activities. You will get much more out of the course if you save your texting and social media for later.
