DEN Course Policies
Introduction
Below is a summary of DEN's course related policies. If you have any questions/concerns about these policies, please contact the groups in each respective area. Exceptions to any of these policies needs to be pre-approved by DEN and in some cases, the Dean's office.

Duplication and Unauthorized Course Access

  • Students may not, in any form, reproduce or distribute any lectures, documents or other course materials without express written permission from the course instructor
  • Students may not share one's university computer account with any other person, in any way. Users may not give their passwords to others, allow remote or password-free logins to their accounts, or permit another individual to use their account after personally logging in
  • No student may access any lecture or course materials who is not enrolled in that specific course
  • Violators will be reported to the Office of Student Judicial Affairs. Unauthorized use of course material is considered a serious violation by the University and will result in sanctions against the violator. Copyright violations of the law may be reported to the appropriate civic authorities

    For more comprehensive information about these policies and the University Student Conduct Code, students should consult both http://www.usc.edu/isd/policies/student/ and http://www.usc.edu/dept/publications/SCAMPUS/gov/. Students are expected to familiarize themselves with these policies and abide by them.

Incompletes

    Incompletes (INs) are highly discouraged and will be considered only in the most extreme and tragic circumstances. The University policy on INs (from the USC Catalogue):

      Incomplete: work not completed because of a documented illness or some other emergency occurring after the twelfth week of the semester. Arrangements for the incomplete and its removal must be initiated by the student and agreed to by the instructor prior to the final examination. Student requests for the mark of IN before the twelfth week of the semester will be denied. If an incomplete is assigned as the student's grade, the instructor will specify to the student and the department the work remaining to be done, the procedures for its completion, the grade in the course to date, and the weight to be assigned to work remaining to be done when computing the final grade. A student may remove the IN only by completing the work not finished as a result of illness or emergency (emphasis added). One calendar year is allowed to remove the mark of IN in courses numbered 500 or higher. If the IN is not removed within the designated time limit, the course is considered "lapsed" and the grade is changed to an IX. Lapsed incompletes count as "F" grades at USC.

      In the event the instructors approve an incomplete, a written contract will be completed which detains what is required for course completion and a projected schedule of completion.

Students with Disabilities

    Any student requesting academic accommodations based on a disability is required to register with Disability Services and Programs (DSP) each semester. A letter of verification for approved accommodations can be obtained from DSP. Please be sure the letter is delivered to the instructors as early in the semester as possible. DSP is located in STU 301 and is open 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The phone number for DSP is (213) 740-7766.
