basis. It will be the responsibility of the student to check with the instructor (preferably prior to known
absence) for makeup assignment instructions.

Re:
Submission and Posting of Course Syllabi
As the Spring 2016 semester approaches, I am writing as a reminder regarding
collection and posting of course syllabi. This is designed, first and foremost, to
support the academic success of our students. In addition to distribution to students,
the syllabus should be submitted to each department chair/school director by the
end of the first week of class (Friday, January 22, 2016), and posted on the
department/school’s website as soon as possible.
We are continuing to maintain a central repository in Transfer Student Services of
syllabi to be held alongside the Master Course File. Therefore, all syllabi should also
be forwarded, as a single pdf file for each course or one master syllabus for multiple
section courses, to Associate Provost for Academic Programs Jim Allen at
apap@siu.edu.
In addition, the recommended Syllabus Attachment for Spring 2016, with important
semester dates and central information, is attached. We encourage its distribution to
students in combination with the syllabus. This document is also posted in SalukiNet
and is available from the Provost’s Forms page
(http://pvcaa.siu.edu/Forms/index.html).
I appreciate your assistance in these student-centered initiatives. Thank you.

WITHDRAWAL POLICY ~ Undergraduate only
Students who officially register for a session may not withdraw merely by the
stopping of attendance. An official withdrawal form needs to be initiated by the
student and processed by the University. For the proper procedures to follow
when dropping courses and when withdrawing from the University, please visit
http://registrar.siu.edu/catalog/undergraduatecatalog.html
INCOMPLETE POLICY~ Undergraduate only
An INC is assigned when, for reasons beyond their control, students engaged in
passing work are unable to complete all class assignments. An INC must be
changed to a completed grade within one semester following the term in which
the course was taken, or graduation, whichever occurs first. Should the student
fail to complete the course within the time period designated, that is, by no
later than the end of the semester following the term in which the course was
taken, or graduation, whichever occurs first, the incomplete will be converted
to a grade of F and the grade will be computed in the student's grade point
average. For more information please visit:
http://registrar.siu.edu/grades/incomplete.html
REPEAT POLICY
An undergraduate student may, for the purpose of raising a grade, enroll in a
course for credit no more than two times (two total enrollments) unless otherwise noted in the course description. For students receiving a letter grade of
A,B,C,D, or F, the course repetition must occur at Southern Illinois University
Carbondale. Only the most recent (last) grade will be calculated in the overall
GPA and count toward hours earned. See full policy at
http://registrar.siu.edu/catalog/undergraduatecatalog.html
GRADUATE POLICIES
Graduate policies often vary from Undergraduate policies. To view the applicable policies for graduate students, please visit
http://gradschool.siu.edu/about-us/grad-catalog/index.html
DISABILITY POLICY
Disability Support Services provides the required academic and programmatic
support services to students with permanent and temporary disabilities. DSS
provides centralized coordination and referral services. To utilize DSS services, students must come to the DSS to open cases. The process involves
interviews, reviews of student-supplied documentation, and completion of
Disability Accommodation Agreements.
