COURSE REQUIREMENTS
|
|
Academy participants enrolled for academic credit are expected to complete all course requirements in accordance with the Belmont University Honor System as stated below:
Affirmation of Academic Integrity
The Belmont community values personal integrity and academic honesty as the foundation of university life and the cornerstone of a premiere educational experience. Our community believes trust among its members is essential for both scholarship and effective interactions and operations of the university. As members of the Belmont community, students, faculty, staff, and administrators are all responsible for ensuring that their experiences will be free of behaviors which compromise this value. In order to uphold academic integrity, the University has adopted an Honor System. Students and faculty will work together to establish the optimal conditions for honorable academic work.
Student Honor Pledge
I will not give or receive aid during examinations; I will not give or receive false or impermissible aid in course work, in the preparation of reports, or in any other type of work that is to be used by the instructor as the basis of my grade; I will not engage in any form of academic fraud. Furthermore, I will uphold my responsibility to see to it that others abide by the spirit and letter of this Honor Pledge.

Completion of Course Requirements:
All completed course requirements should be received no later than the first Monday in August immediately following the Academy. Send hard copies of all work to your professor. (Work will not be returned unless special arrangements are made with the professor. In the area of music, you will receive an email noting your grade and giving you comments on your submitted work.) Grades for this work are issued as a part of Summer Second Term. NO GRADES WILL BE MAILED to students. At the end of the semester (after August 15) you’ll be able to go on-line to check your grade. The first thing you need to do is to set up what is called a BIC account at the following web address: http://bic.belmont.edu. It will be very important that you check your BIC account and make sure your grade is recorded at the end of the summer.
Once you have done this, follow the on-line instructions to check your grades online. You should plan to do this before the end of August since your access to Banner Web (the network on which this is posted) will not remain once the fall semester gets underway. If you have problems accessing your grade, contact Belmont Central at 615-460-5402. This is a central problem-solving office on campus. HOWEVER, be aware that the beginning of school is a VERY busy time for a university and someone may not be able to talk with you at the moment you call.
