Grades for Written Course Assignments

Specific instructions for completion of all graded assignments will be included on the assignment rubric or in the course syllabus. Assignments are due as specified by the assigned faculty. The SON reserves the right to maintain, on file, all written work submitted by students. Evaluation of such work is made available to students.

Testing Guidelines

Traditional, face-to-face courses (on-campus)

In order to maintain integrity and security of exams, the following will be observed in all classes:

• Students may be assigned a seat by the faculty or exam proctor.
• No personal belongings, watches, cell phones, or electronic devices are permitted during any exams, including ATI exams. Cell phones must be turned off. Additionally, no jackets/coats, scarves, hats, gloves, caps or hoods covering the head, unless for religious purposes, will be permitted during testing.
• All personal items must be stowed in designated locations during all exams and exam reviews. Students will be provided storage space for all electronic devices.
• Food and/or beverages, including water bottles, candy, or chewing gum are not permitted during exams.
• Calculators are available within the exam testing software. If needed, only Department-issued calculators will be permitted during exams. No other calculators are permitted.
• Scrap paper will be provided during exams. The scrap paper will be labeled with the student's name and must be submitted at the conclusion of the exam.
• All quizzes and exams, including ATI exams, are formatted to prevent backtracking and require each item to be answered before advancing to the next question. Students will NOT be able to skip an item or return to a previous item.
• For course exams utilizing computer testing software, students must upload/submit the exam before leaving the testing area to receive credit for the exam.
• Students must remain seated quietly in their seat and not engage in conversation or other distracting behavior(s) until all students have completed the exam.
• Students who wish to ask a question should raise their hand and await the instructor/proctor to ascertain the question.
