Policies
Grades of Incomplete
Ph.D. Students in
Horizon Live Courses (live Courses) are not eligible to request a grade of
Incomplete. The academic importance of the Live Courses is such that no
extenuating circumstances will be considered.
Grade Appeal
All
grade challenges and appeals shall follow
TUIU Policy. Please visit the TUIU catalog/website for the applicable policy and
procedure.
Student Disabilities
Students with a
documented disability who require assistance must provide appropriate
documentation and request accommodations (based on disability) upon
registration. Students must provide documentation from an appropriate
professional verifying the presence and impact of the disability. The Director
of Student Services reviews the documentation and determines eligibility for
reasonable accommodations as permitted by applicable laws.
Religious Holidays
In recognition
of the various religious or faith beliefs of students and to ensure that the
academic programs and services of TUIU shall be available to all qualified
students who have been admitted to its programs, regardless of individual
religious beliefs, students shall not be penalized for observances of religious
holidays.
APA Style
TUIU requires
all PhD work to be in APA form. We also encourage all other students to comply
with guidelines for proper citation of references. You may use the information
found on the following links:

TUIU Style Sheet
Academic Integrity
TUIU
demands a level of scholarly behavior and academic honesty on the part of
students. Violations by students exhibiting dishonesty while carrying out
academic assignments and the procedures for dealing with academic integrity are
set forth in the TUIU student handbook. Be sure you understand the meaning of
plagiarism. “Plagiarism is the act of using the work of another and
representing it as your own. Plagiarism is one of the most serious
infractions in an academic setting and subject to disciplinary action.” Please
familiarize yourself with the
TUIU Policy on Plagiarism.
