Students who are receiving federal, state, or institutional financial aid who withdraw or add hours during the semester may have their financial aid adjusted because of the withdraw or addition. This change in schedule may affect the aid they are receiving during the current semester, and could affect their eligibility for aid in future semesters.

The student has the responsibility of informing the Dean of Students, at (214) 333-5125, of any disabling condition for which the student will request course modifications. Dallas Baptist University provides academic adjustments and auxiliary aid to individuals with disabilities, as defined under law, who are otherwise qualified to meet the institution’s academic requirements. It is the student’s choice and responsibility to initiate any request for accommodations. Required documentation must be provided before the university can make accommodations.

**The faculty member endorses the University Honor Code and abides by the University’s Academic Appeal and Academic Misconduct Procedure as stated in the Student Handbook and the Schedule of Classes.

**Mini-term Syllabi

When this course is offered in the mini-term, it is not a condensed version of the class. The content of this mini-term and the same course offered during the regular semester is comparable.

**Posting of Final Course Grades

Each faculty member has the right either to post or not post final course grades for each class. Final course grades provided to a student by a faculty member may not be relied upon as official. Official grade reports can be obtained only through the DBU Registrar’s Office. The Dallas Baptist University undergraduate and graduate catalogs state that "All accounts must be paid in full before a student can...receive transcripts..." Students are not permitted to telephone the professor, contact the dean’s office, or use e-mail to inquire about their final grade. Please understand that this policy is for the purpose of protecting the privacy of your grades.

Minor children of Dallas Baptist University students are not permitted to attend class with their parents. Furthermore, minor children may not be unaccompanied at any location or property where Dallas Baptist University classes are taught. If a minor child is brought to the DBU campus or any location where DBU classes are taught, the child must be accompanied by an adult at all times. For their safety and welfare, unaccompanied children on the DBU campus will be escorted to the Campus Security Office and the parents or guardians will be summoned to pick them up immediately.

**Cell Phone Policy

Classroom disruption by cell phones and paging devices is prohibited. A student facing the possibility of receiving emergency calls may leave the device on silent or vibrate during class if he/she has previously informed the professor. Otherwise, all cell phones and pagers must be turned off at the beginning of class. Routine work-related calls or personal calls from friends are not considered emergencies. Most mini-term courses offer break times to attend to these types of calls.
