Academic Records Documentation placed in the student’s record will be maintained in the CDM’s Office for Academic Affairs. In addition, a student’s official academic record is maintained in the university’s Office of the University Registrar. Any students requesting a copy of their official record must contact the registrar. 3. Course Syllabi To facilitate clear communication between students and faculty members about course content, NSU requires that each course have a course syllabus containing specific information about the course structure. In advance of each course or other unit of instruction, students will be provided written information about the goals and requirements of each course, the nature of the course content, the method(s) of evaluation to be used, and how grades and competency are determined, using the Standardized NSU and CDM Syllabus Template provided by the CDM Office for Academic Affairs and accessed through the Canvas platform in SharkLink. 4. Course and Instructor Evaluations Each student has a professional responsibility to provide constructive evaluation for courses and instructors in the curriculum. This responsibility will be met by participation in course evaluations that are routinely administered by the CDM. The college expects each student to sincerely accept this responsibility and obligation in a constructive manner so that optimal feedback can be provided. This input will facilitate student welfare by promoting changes that will improve the educational effectiveness of the curriculum, as well as assist faculty members by providing constructive input to help improve their teaching strategies.
