ATTENDANCE, PUNCTUALITY & CELL PHONE USE

Attendance is mandatory for all classes that you are assigned to attend. Class hours take
precedence over other activities. Attendance is required for the full period. Leaving early and
coming late will result in an absence.
Excessive absences will result in a lowering of the possible grade attainable as follows:
Absent for three class periods = final grade is lowered one grade
Absent for four class periods = no grade higher than a "C"
Absent for five class periods = student should withdraw or face the possibility of receiving an
"F"

**Should you feel ill, stay home and contact me via text or email.**
**Should you feel ill and have informed me, you will not be penalized for missing class**

Call or email me if you have an emergency. Please do not use my cell phone if it is not an
emergency. (Attendance Policy)

CELL PHONES
Cell Phones are not to be used in class unless they are directly being used for a project.

PLAGIARISM
Uphold artistic integrity and follow the academic integrity policy
(Academic Integrity).

ACCOMODATION
In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and with Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act, Siena College is committed to ensuring educational access and
accommodations for all its registered students. I request that any student with a documented
disability needing academic adjustments or accommodations speak with me during the first
two weeks of class. All discussions will remain confidential.

Students with disabilities should also contact Ms. Lindsay Green, Director of the Office of
Accessibility. Ms. Green’s office is located in Foy Hall Room 109. Her phone number is: (518)
783-4239. Complaints about services provided or not provided may be brought to the
attention of Public Safety at (518)783-2376 or Ms. Lois Goland, JD, Title IX Coordinator and
Equal Opportunity Specialist. Ms.Goland is located in Room 235 of the Sarazen Student
Union. Her phone number is (518) 782-6673.

MENTAL HEALTH & COUNSELING RESOURCES

For any number of reasons, you may become overwhelmed during your time at Siena. It is
very common to experience symptoms of anxiety, depression or other mental health
conditions. Fortunately, the Counseling Center, located in Foy Hall Room 110, is a resource

3
to help overcome those potential challenges. You can make an appointment by stopping by,
calling 518-783-2342, or requesting one online on the Siena Counseling Center webpage.

INCLUSIVE CLASSROOM
Diversity is an invitation to celebrate the uniqueness of each individual, as well as the cultural
differences that enrich us all. In this course, I will do my best to ensure that students from all
backgrounds and perspectives will be served equitably. The diversity that students bring to
this class will be viewed as a resource, strength and benefit. It is my intent to present
materials and activities that are respectful and inclusive of the many identities of students in
terms of gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, race,
culture, perspective, and other background characteristics. Your suggestions about how to
improve the value of diversity and inclusiveness in this course are encouraged and
appreciated.

PREFERRED PRONOUNS
Students are asked to indicate their preferred pronouns by updating their profile in Canvas.
The use of preferred pronouns is important to show respect for students’ gender identities,
and to recognize and validate students’ right to choose their own names and forms of address.
Please use preferred pronouns that other students display in oral and written comments to
them during class discussions.

REPORTING A BIAS INCIDENT OR SEXUAL MISCONDUCT

In any case of possible bias or sexual misconduct, either in the classroom or anywhere on
campus, you are encouraged to file a report online (Search: Siena College Bias Report) or in
person with Lois Goland, Siena’s Title IX/Title VII Officer, SSU 235, 518-782-6673,
lgoland@siena.edu. Any Siena community member, who experiences or observes an incident
of bias or misconduct, including faculty, staff and students, can file a report through this
system. More information and resources around procedures dealing with sexual misconduct
and discrimination and harassment are available online.
