36 Classroom Expectations and Policies

Traditional Courses

Most traditional courses will utilize Canvas to house your syllabus, content and themes covered each week, and assignments.  This will also be the location you submit your assignments to.  You can expect that your Canvas classroom will open by the first day of class listed on your student schedule.  It is a student  expectation and responsibility to review and abide by the attendance policy, as well as the late work policy, stated for each of your traditional courses within each syllabus.  These policies are written at the discretion of each Professor and their respective department.
