Mental Health
Diminished mental health, including significant stress, mood
changes, excessive worry, substance/alcohol abuse, or problems with eating
and/or sleeping can interfere with optimal academic performance, social
development, and emotional wellbeing. The University of Illinois offers a
variety of confidential services including individual and group counseling,
crisis intervention, psychiatric services, and specialized screenings at no
additional cost. If you or someone you know experiences any of the above mental
health concerns, it is strongly encouraged to contact or visit any of the
University’s resources provided below. Getting help is a smart and courageous
thing to do -- for yourself and for those who care about you.
Counseling Center: 217-333-3704, 610 East John Street Champaign,
IL 61820
McKinley Health Center:217-333-2700, 1109 South Lincoln Avenue,
Urbana, Illinois 61801
Sexual
Misconduct Reporting Obligation
The University of Illinois is committed to
combating sexual misconduct. Faculty and staff members are required to report
any instances of sexual misconduct to the University’s Title IX Office. In
turn, an individual with the Title IX Office will provide information about
rights and options, including accommodations, support services, the campus
disciplinary process, and law enforcement options.
A list of the designated University employees
who, as counselors, confidential advisors, and medical professionals, do not
have this reporting responsibility and can maintain confidentiality, can be
found here: wecare.illinois.edu/resources/students/#confidential.
Other information about resources and
reporting is available here: wecare.illinois.edu.
Academic
Integrity
The University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign Student Code should also be considered as a part of this
syllabus. Students should pay particular attention to Article 1, Part 4:
Academic Integrity. Read the Code at the following URL: http://studentcode.illinois.edu/.
Academic dishonesty may result in a failing
grade. Every student is expected to review and abide by the Academic Integrity
Policy: https://studentcode.illinois.edu/article1/part4/1-401/. Ignorance is not an
excuse for any academic dishonesty. It is your responsibility to read this policy
to avoid any misunderstanding. Do not hesitate to ask the instructor(s) if you
are ever in doubt about what constitutes plagiarism, cheating, or any other
breach of academic integrity.
Religious
Observances
Illinois law requires the University to
reasonably accommodate its students' religious beliefs, observances, and
practices in regard to admissions, class attendance, and the scheduling of
examinations and work requirements. You should examine this syllabus at the
beginning of the semester for potential conflicts between course deadlines and
any of your religious observances. If a conflict exists, you should notify your
instructor of the conflict and follow the procedure at https://odos.illinois.edu/community-of-care/resources/students/religious-observances/ to request appropriate accommodations. This
should be done in the first two weeks of classes.
Disability-Related
Accommodations
To
obtain disability-related academic adjustments and/or auxiliary aids, students
with disabilities must contact the course instructor and the Disability
Resources and Educational Services (DRES) as soon as possible. To contact DRES,
you may visit 1207 S. Oak St., Champaign, call 333-4603, e-mail disability@illinois.edu or go to https://www.disability.illinois.edu. If you are
concerned you have a disability-related condition that is impacting your
academic progress, there are academic screening appointments available that can
help diagnosis a previously undiagnosed disability. You may access these by
visiting the DRES website and selecting “Request an Academic Screening” at the
bottom of the page.
Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
Any student who has suppressed their
directory information pursuant to Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
(FERPA) should self-identify to the instructor to ensure protection of the
privacy of their attendance in this course. See https://registrar.illinois.edu/academic-records/ferpa/ for more information on FERPA.
Assuring
Non-Hostile Work Environment
In order to assure a non-hostile work
environment for course staff, we will strictly enforce the following policy for
the future assessment, including exams, assignments and course project. Any
assessment containing language that conventionally would be judged as obscene,
threatening violence, or of a clearly derogatory nature will be given a 0
without further grading.
