Academic Integrity

Students have an obligation to themselves and to the University to exhibit honesty in completing the study courses.  Students who are found to have violated that obligation by plagiarizing or otherwise cheating may be suspended or terminated, after due process.  The University expects its students to follow high academic standards and ethical behavior in their academic activities.
Course Extension
Each course must be completed within 10 weeks (10 weeks).  If a student does not complete his/her course in the allotted time, a request for an extension must be made.  The extension will provide an additional thirty (30) days in which to complete the course.  A $50 fee will apply.  If the student does not complete the course after the thirty (30) day extension, the student will be required to re-enroll in the course for the tuition effective at the time of enrollment
Proctored Exam

 

Southwest University’s degree programs require proctored exams.  Students will be required to obtain the proctor (exam supervisor).  Upon approval, the University will notify the student and the proctor.  

Acceptable proctors include school teachers and principals, librarians, clergy members, human resources officers, and workplace supervisors.  A proctor should hold a position of integrity.  Family members or friends cannot act as proctors. 

Proctored exams are open book.  Calculators and laptops are permissible.  Handwritten, legible responses to essay responses are acceptable.
