Academic Policies
Academic integrity, credit, attendance, evaluation, records, appeals, field and laboratory conduct, and student responsibility.
Overview
Academic standards protect students, faculty, evidence, and the value of Stella Nova work.
Policies define how credit is earned, how work is evaluated, how records are maintained, how concerns are reviewed, and how students participate responsibly in courses, research, laboratories, field environments, publishing, and applied projects.
Credit and contact hours
Academic credit and professional contact hours are assigned through documented learning outcomes, instructional activity, and evaluated work.
Evaluation and progression
Courses and programs use published outcomes, assignments, reviews, milestones, and culminating demonstrations.
Academic records
Enrollment, credit, grades, credentials, milestones, and official records are maintained through the Student Information System.
Review and appeal
Students may request clarification, correction, or formal review through the applicable academic process.
Field and laboratory conduct
Safety, permissions, cultural protocols, data stewardship, instrument procedures, and professional behavior apply in every learning environment.
