Dr. Pallavi Patel School of Health Sciences (PSHS) 2025–2026 200 Student Responsibility for Missed Assignments It is a student’s responsibility to complete all course requirements when a class is missed, but only at the convenience of the faculty member. Responsibility for materials presented in lectures, assignments, and tests/quizzes given in regularly scheduled classes lies solely with the student. Faculty Member Responsibility for Missed Assignments Faculty members are under no obligation to provide makeup quizzes/tests/exams, etc. for students who are absent from classes in which those quizzes/tests/exams are administered. Although the course instructor should exercise a fair and consistent standard for resolving questions of missed assignments, the type, extent, manner, and time frame of any makeup assignments shall be at the discretion of the instructor. Clinical Rotations, Experiences, Placements, Fieldwork, or Externship Attendance, while on clinical rotations, follows different procedures. These are noted in the policy and procedures Clinical Education Handbook or Fieldwork Externship Manual distributed by the program or department prior to going on rotations. Promptness Promptness is another trait a proper healthcare practitioner must display. Additionally, tardiness in class disturbs both the lecturer and other members of the class, and is thus markedly inconsiderate and rude. University class hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily, Monday through Friday. Class schedules are issued from time to time as an aid to faculty members and students, but the administration reserves the right to make changes, assign Saturday hours, or deviate from published schedules without notice. Classes generally begin at 10 minutes after the hour unless otherwise specified by a particular department or degree program. Students not seated in their assigned seat by the time class begins will be marked absent. Classes finish on the hour. If a student arrives within 20 minutes after the start of the class, the absence will be reduced to half absence. Students will await the instructor’s arrival until at least 20 minutes after the specified starting time, unless notified otherwise by an authorized person. Academic Advising Prior to the start of classes, each new entry-level student is assigned to a faculty adviser for academic counseling. Incoming students meet with their adviser during orientation period and are encouraged to meet periodically with their adviser to review coursework to avoid any academic problems. Email Accounts Internet-based email is one of the primary communication methods between programs and students at NSU. All students are assigned an email account upon matriculation. Students must maintain and regularly check mail addressed to their NSU email address. Students are expected to check their NSU email daily, Monday through Friday, and respond to faculty members’ emails within 24 hours
