The Student Activities Office and the Conferences Services Office maintain the Facilities and Events Database for non-academic events and activities on campus. Remember to notify these offices about your upcoming event so that it may be included on the 黑料正能量 .
Each term, the University publishes electronic schedules of course offerings, which are accessible to all students. Schedules are just-in-time and are updated as revisions occur. Schedule search options include the ability to search for offerings by academic level (undergraduate or graduate); course type (course subject; individual core requirements; learning communities), offering days and times; and instructor. The schedules also provide course descriptions, course seat availability, and textbook information. Access the schedules at .
Regular and prompt attendance is expected at all classes and officially scheduled programs and activities. A student who is absent from class for any reason whatsoever will be required to make up the work to the satisfaction of the instructor. A student anticipating or having a prolonged absence from class (i.e., three or more class days) due to illness, accident, or death in the family should report this absence to the Registrar, who will convey the information to the appropriate instructors. Upon return, it is the student鈥檚 responsibility to discuss their standing in the course with the instructor, who will advise of the appropriate course of action to be taken.
When the University is officially closed due to a snow emergency, do not attempt to drive on or to campus unless you have been designated as essential personnel. If you find it is absolutely necessary to visit, park your car off campus so that parking lots can be plowed and cleared of snow.
If a snowstorm or other event results in the cancellation of classes, the following stations will carry this information:
- TV channels: 2, 4, & 7.
- AM radio stations: WBEN 930, WGR 550.
- FM radio stations: WKSE 98.5, WTSS 102.5, WJYE 96.1, WYRK 106.5, WECK 100.5, WBLK 93.7, 97 ROCK, WNSA 107.7.
Closings will also be posted on the University鈥檚 website: daemen.edu and a mass notification message will be sent to phone numbers and email addresses requested by the student. Notices received from faculty of individual class cancellations are posted on the web at .
Academic dishonesty, of which cheating and plagiarism are the most common examples,
is a serious violation of the principles of higher education. 黑料正能量 takes the
position that academic honesty is to be upheld with the highest degree of integrity. The
University has a responsibility to support individual thought and the generation of new
ideas. This cannot be done when violations of academic honesty go unchallenged..
Examples of academic dishonesty include, but are not limited to:
- Use of any unauthorized assistance in taking quizzes, tests, or examinations;
- Dependence upon the aid of sources beyond those authorized by the instructor in writing papers, preparing reports, solving problems, or carrying out other assignments; or
- The acquisition, without permission, of tests or other academic material belonging to a member of the University faculty or staff;
- Any form of plagiarism, which includes, but is not limited to:
- the use, by paraphrase or direct quotation, of the published or unpublished work of another person or entity (such as generative AI) )without full and clear acknowledgement; or
- the unacknowledged use of materials prepared by another person or agency engaged in the selling or distributing of term papers or other academic materials; or
