Students are strongly encourage to click the link above to review standard College policies and information on academic support services.
Fort Wayne Regional Policies
Code of Student Rights & Responsibilities
Ivy Tech Community College recognizes its responsibility to support and uphold the basic freedoms and citizenship rights of all students. In the event that personal or academic misconduct occurs, the College has developed a written Code that outlines student rights and responsibilities. Resolving such situations begins with the College upholding its responsibility to inform you of your rights as a student. Excerpts from the Code relevant to situations that may occur in the classroom can be found here Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities Syllabus Excerpt.docx). The College encourages you to read and be familiar with these policies and procedures. This announcement serves as your notification of your student rights and responsibilities.
Smoke Free
Since 2009, Ivy Tech Northeast has been a smoke-free campus. Per the College’s Breathe Easy policy,
Smoking, including the use of an e-cigarette, shall not be permitted in any enclosed space and is also prohibited outdoors on all college campus property, including parking lots. This policy applies to all students, faculty, staff and visitors.
Ivy Tech—Northeast is committed to providing a healthy, comfortable and productive environment for the students, faculty and staff of this campus. The use or sale of any tobacco product is prohibited on college-owned, operated, or leased property or vehicles at any time. The policy applied to all Ivy Tech– Northeast facilities and grounds, regardless of location. Smoking, including the use of an e-cigarette, shall not be permitted in any enclosed space and is also prohibited outdoors on all college campus property, including parking lots. This policy applies to all students, faculty, staff and visitors. Tickets and fines will be issued to violators.
IvyTech Going Greener
Ivy Tech Community College– is committed to the development and implementation of a comprehensive sustainability plan. We’re emphasizing our responsibility to go green. To that end, we are asking students, faculty, and staff to actively participate in energy conservation measures and proper recycling on campus. The recycling bins located in classrooms and offices are for paper and paper products only. Ivy Tech participates in single-stream recycling for other items. All aluminum, glass, and plastic beverage containers can co-mingle in the same recycling bins located in the hallways. Please remember to empty the liquid from your containers before depositing them in the bins. Any materials that cannot be recycled should be placed in garbage cans. It is also important to turn off lights and computers when leaving a room. Together, we can make an impact on conserving our limited resources. Remember to reduce, reuse, and recycle!

Right of Revision
The college reserves the right to change any statements, policies or scheduling as necessary. Students will be informed promptly of any and all changes. Your instructor also reserves the right to make changes to the syllabus, including the assignment schedule (dates and content).
Course Policies & Procedures
Instructional Method
[Select the applicable statement below and remove the inapplicable statement.]
- H- "Online + Face-to-Face" - These hybrid courses include some on-campus activities.
- I- "Online Only" -These courses are delivered online.
- S- "Synchronous" -These courses use live webcast technology.
-
T- "Face-to-Face" -These courses meet in a classroom.
Grades
All grades will be maintained in IvyLearn’s online grade book. Students are responsible for tracking their progress by referring to the online grade book. Students can generally expect to receive grades and feedback within seven days of the assignment due date. If exceptions occur, the instructor may notify students of changes to this expectation.
Due Dates & Deadlines
The Syllabus and Calendar are two important tools to help students understand the course, student and instructor expectations, and deadlines. Both tools can be found in IvyLearn. The Calendar can be accessed from the main navigation area on the left-hand side of IvyLearn.
Students are required to submit work on time for a chance to receive credit. Deadlines for each week/assignment are summarized on the calendar. Students should check the calendar frequently for deadlines and to be aware of what to expect next. Deadlines are listed in Eastern Time and are subject to change.
Students are responsible for timely assignment submission. Should a computer system or network go down, students must still turn in work in a timely manner. Don’t wait until the last minute. Plan ahead by seeking alternative means for submitting work before it is due. Local libraries and all Ivy Tech Community College campuses can serve as alternative resources. Contact the closest/most convenient campus or other public lab for schedules and Internet availability. Not having access to the required software on a home or work computer is not a legitimate excuse for turning in homework late.
Make-Up Policy
Late assignments will be assigned a grade of “0” unless a student has received prior approval from the professor. If a student has a problem or scheduling conflict that prevents the student from submitting an assignment on time, the student should contact the professor immediately. The professor will determine if the seriousness of the problem warrants an extension on the assignment. Unless absolutely unavoidable, students need to contact their instructor before missing the deadline – not after. Instructors have the right to decline accepting work for any credit after a deadline passes with a few specific exceptions, including but not limited to:
- If there is an outage of the IvyLearn system that is verified by central system administrators, instructors will provide an extension for students to submit work at no penalty.
- If the student has documentation of serious illness or death of a family member, instructors will work with the student to determine an alternate deadline.
Attendance Policy – Don’t Get Dropped from Class!
Ivy Tech performs administrative drops for students who do not “attend” class early in the semester. Students need to complete an assignment (which may include, but are not limited to, such things as attending a live or synchronous session; posting in a graded discussion board, blog or wiki; or submitting a written assignment or taking a quiz) prior to NW deadline listed below in order to avoid being dropped for non-attendance. Posting any items not related to the graded assignments will be reviewed but may be disqualified for attendance purposes.
Attendance Drop Deadline: Enter Time and Date HERE – Eastern Time.
[Instructors, if the NW date is not known, please contact your campus registrar.]
Am I Required to Come to Campus for this Course?
Some online courses require students to go to a local Ivy Tech campus for an activity, lab, or proctored assessment. For this course:
[Select the applicable statement below and remove the inapplicable statement.]
Yes, students are required to come to campus.
Yes, students are required to go to a convenient Ivy Tech campus or other acceptable testing site to take supervised (proctored) exams. See the syllabus section on ‘Assignments & Grading’ below for more information.
No, students do not have to come to campus for this course. There are no activities, labs, or assessments that require students to come to campus.
[If no proctored exams, developer should list N/A in the section below.]
What is a “Proctored” Exam?
[If you are using proctored exam services, then leave this section in, otherwise enter: This course does not have any proctored exams. Consult with your instructor.]
Proctored exams are supervised exams. Every Ivy Tech campus has a testing center where students can take proctored exams.
It is the student’s responsibility to provide their testing center location information to the instructor of the course, to schedule an appointment well in advance, and to follow the procedures of their selected testing center. How to provide this information to the instructor will be explained by the instructor.
If the proctoring center at that campus does not own and cannot provide the software or special tools required by the assessment, the student is responsible for locating a proctoring center with the required software/tools. As well, if a student does not live near or cannot conveniently get to an Ivy Tech campus, they should contact the instructor early in the semester to discuss options.
A link to approved Ivy Tech exam sites may be found here: https://www.ivytech.edu/testing-services/index.html
Ivy Tech has also partnered with ProctorU to give our students an online proctoring option. Using ProctorU does have a cost and the student is responsible for paying the associated fee. Fee information can be found on the Click for Help tab in Blackboard. To use the service, students need to first confirm with their Instructor that they would like to take their exam online using the service. The Instructor will then provide the required exam information to ProctorU. Students will need to create an account and register their computer in advance with ProctorU by going to https://go.proctoru.com/students/users/new (Links to an external site.). Students will then be able to sign up to take the specific exam that was loaded by their Instructor, sign up for a time to take the exam that is convenient for them, and register their computer. For more details please review the ProctorU information on the Click for Help tab in Blackboard.
Last Day to Withdraw
If a student wishes to withdraw from this course, students are responsible for completing an official withdrawal form with the registrar. Your local registrar contact information can be looked up here: http://www.ivytech.edu/registrar/.

Course Communication
Online Communication Etiquette
Students are expected to uphold their responsibilities in terms of appropriate and professional communication with faculty and peers. Please review the ‘Students Rights and Responsibilities’ section of the student handbook (located within Campus Connect) and review common netiquette (Internet etiquette) practices, like those found at: https://www.ivytech.edu/online/11570.html
Instructor Commitment
Ivy Tech Community College instructors are committed to responding to students’ written inquiries sent via the conversations tool in IvyLearn (instructions below), within 36 hours, including weekends.
