Electronic Communication
University policy specifies that students are responsible for all official correspondences
sent to their standard University of Iowa e-mail address (@uiowa.edu). Students should check their
account frequently. (Operations Manual, III.II.15. 2. k.11.)
Academic Fraud
Plagiarism and any other activities when students present work that is not their own
are academic fraud and are considered by the College to be a very serious matter. Academic fraud is
reported by the instructor to the departmental DEO who enforces the departmental consequences. The
Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs and Curriculum is also informed. The Associate Dean enforces
collegiate consequences which may included suspension or expulsion. See the CLAS Academic Handbook.
Making a Suggestion or a Complaint
Students with a suggestion or complaint should first visit the instructor, then the
course supervisor and the departmental DEO. Complaints must be made within six months of the incident.
See the CLAS Academic Handbook.
Accommodations for Disabilities
A student seeking academic accommodations should register with Student Disability Services
and meet privately with the course instructor to make particular arrangements. For more information,

Understanding Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment subverts the mission of the University and threatens the well-being of
students, faculty, and staff. All members of the UI community have a responsibility to uphold this
mission and to contribute to a safe environment that enhances learning. Incidents of sexual harassment
should be reported immediately. See the UI Comprehensive Guide on
Sexual Harassment at www.uiowa.edu/~eod/policies/sexual-harassment-guide/index.html
for assistance, definitions, and the full University policy.
Reacting Safely to Severe Weather
In severe weather, the class members should seek shelter in the innermost part of
the building, if possible at the lowest level, staying clear of windows and free-standing expanses.
The class will continue if possible when the event is over. (Operations Manual, IV. 16.14.
