Students must meet the degree requirements of the catalog in effect the semester/term they began coursework and were admitted to that degree program. Students may opt to select a later catalog for a year in which they were enrolled. Changing to a later catalog must be officially requested through the Office of the University Registrar. Students have a one semester grace period to assess the changes in their new requirements during which they may return to their original catalog. After the grace period, the change in catalog year is irreversible. Other than the degree requirements, students must adhere to the academic requirements and to policies and procedures in place in the current catalog. Such requirements include, but are not limited to, course prerequisites, minimum grades for transfer work, probation and suspension requirements, etc. Statements in the catalog are for informational purposes and should not be considered as the basis for a contract between students and the University. Information regarding any changes in degree programs, graduation requirements or academic policies is made available by the appropriate academic units.
The University honors its published academic policies and programs, including required courses for graduation. The student is responsible for his or her program, including meeting the published requirements and deadlines. The University assists the student in making appropriate decisions by providing academic advising. However, the decisions made in the academic advising process are those of the student.
Class attendance policies are determined by each instructor and are included in the course syllabus distributed at the beginning of each term. The University recommends as a minimal policy that students who are absent 20 percent of the course should be failed. Students who do not attend the first class meeting of a course in which they are registered may be administratively dropped, unless they make arrangements with the instructor prior to the first day of class.
Students must notify the University of any change in their addresses or phone numbers. Such changes may be made using "My Chapman" portal, the student's Chapman email or at the Office of the University Registrar.
Admission is based upon possession of a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution and the fulfillment of requirements as specified for each program.
Broad program prerequisites and specific course prerequisites are intended to improve the educational experience of the learner. The university recognizes that educational differences exist among individuals and encourages graduate students to work closely with their academic advisors to plan for personal needs and academic excellence.
Degrees and credentials are granted on evidence of intellectual growth and development rather than solely on the basis of formal course credits. Fulfillment of the minimum course requirements set forth cannot, therefore, be regarded as the sole requisite of a degree or credential.
A minimum of 24 credits in the degree program must be completed at Chapman University for all graduate degrees. For specific program requirements, please refer to the appropriate program section. These credits do not include courses taken to fulfill prerequisite requirements. Students in credential programs are required to complete a minimum of two–thirds of the program at Chapman.
No grade below 2.300 "C+" is acceptable toward a degree or credential, but is included in calculating the overall grade–point average. By action of the Graduate Academic Council all courses must be taken for a letter grade unless specifically noted otherwise in the course description.
The following are University guidelines; some programs specify more stringent policies. Please refer to appropriate program section.
Students requesting a change of program are required to follow all readmission policies and procedures, as indicated in the Graduate Catalog, prior to completing coursework.
The following regulations govern the earning of a second master's degree from Chapman University:
Students completing a second emphasis area within one master's degree program may not use previously completed coursework for one emphasis to fulfill the requirements of a second emphasis.
If a comprehensive examination is required for the second emphasis area, the student will be required to complete the examination for each emphasis.
Advancement to candidacy is required for some degree programs. Please consult the appropriate program section of the catalog for specific requirements. It is the responsibility of the student to submit an application for Advancement to Candidacy to the program's department office.
Specific degree programs require degree candidates to pass a comprehensive examination as part of the degree requirements.
The thesis/dissertation or project is a requirement of many degree programs.
Students writing a thesis/dissertation or project as part of their master's degrees will work closely with their faculty adviser who will arrange for a review committee. Programs that offer a thesis/dissertation option require an oral defense of the thesis/dissertation with the review committee. Please observe the printed deadlines for submitting an Intent to Graduate form when your thesis/dissertation or project is near completion. Two copies of the completed thesis/dissertation (three copies if a bound personal copy is being requested) should be brought to the library for binding and distribution. A final grade for the thesis/dissertation course will not be issued until after submission of the thesis/dissertation for binding.
Contact individual departments for specific thesis/project and comprehensive examination requirements.
Contact individual departments for further specific dissertation requirements and comprehensive examination requirements.
All requirements for graduate degrees and credential programs, including courses accepted for transfer credit from other institutions, must be completed within a seven–year period. A student must submit a Graduate Petition form for an extension of the seven–year limit to the Office of the University Registrar. The student's program adviser must submit a written statement of support for the petition.
A full course load for graduate and credential students, other than MBA and EMBA students, is defined as nine credits per regular semester, as well as summer session. For MBA students full academic load per semester is eight credits. First year EMBA students have a full academic load at eight credits per semester. For second year EMBA students, the fall semester load is eight credits while the spring semester full academic load is nine credits. A full academic load for interterm is three credits; students may take up to a maximum of four credits in interterm.
Courses are numbered as follows:
001–099 Remedial courses and courses not appropriate for college degree credit but designed to meet specific needs of individuals or groups where degree credit is not required. Remedial courses are noncredit courses.
100–299 Lower–division courses of freshman and sophomore level; freshman level 100–199 and sophomore level 200–299.
129, 229, 329, 429 These numbers indicate experimental coursework offered by a department. Experimental courses are designed to offer additional opportunities to explore areas and subjects of special interest and may be repeated for credit if course content is different. Course titles, prerequisites and credits may vary. Some courses require student lab fees. Specific course details will be listed in the course schedule.
194, 394 These numbers indicate coursework offered through the Chapman Study Abroad program. Courses have been approved for credit but do not equate to any regular Chapman courses.
199, 299, 399, 499 Individual study courses.
291, 491 Student–faculty research and creative activity courses.
300–399 Upper–division courses of junior and senior level that do not yield graduate credit. Sophomores may enroll provided they meet prerequisites and restrictions. Freshmen are admitted with written consent of instructor and chair of department offering the course.
400–499 Upper–division courses of junior and senior level that yield graduate credit for graduate students. Freshman students may not enroll.
500--699 Graduate courses for graduate students and seniors meeting specific guidelines.
682 Student–faculty research and creative activity courses.
700--799 Post–master's and doctoral courses.
During official registration dates, students may initially register for courses, add courses or drop courses via "My Chapman" Portal in accordance with their priority registration access. Being placed by an instructor on the course roll does not constitute being officially registered for the course. Students can officially register only through "My Chapman" Portal or at the Office of the University Registrar. After the semester/term add deadline, students may not attend courses without being officially enrolled in the course.
Students adding a course after the first week of the term must get the instructor's approval signature in order to register for the course.
If a course is dropped during the first two weeks of the semester (see academic calendar for corresponding dates for summer and interterm), no record of the course is posted to the student's transcript. Students who officially drop or withdraw from a course between the third and the tenth week of standard semesters will receive a non–punitive notation of "W" on their transcripts indicating the withdrawal. Students cannot drop a course beyond the tenth week of the semester. It is the student's responsibility to withdraw officially from a course or all courses. Failure to attend a course does not constitute a withdrawal. Students who stop attending courses without officially withdrawing will receive a grade of "FW," failure to withdraw, which is calculated the same as an "F" grade for the grade–point average.
7 ½ Week Sessions
If a course is dropped during the first week of the session (see academic calendar for corresponding dates), no record of the course is posted to the student's transcript. Students who officially drop or withdraw from a course between the second and the fifth week of the session will receive a non–punitive notation of "W" on their transcripts indicating the withdrawal. Students cannot drop a course beyond the fifth week of the session.
Students must withdraw officially from coursework, either through "My Chapman" Portal or the Office of the University Registrar, before the end of the tenth week of a standard semester. (See academic calendar for deadline dates.) Students who stop attending courses without officially withdrawing will receive a grade of "FW," failure to withdraw, which is calculated as an "F" grade. Students who drop all courses and discontinue studies during the semester must also notify the dean and either request a leave of absence or officially withdraw from the program.
Only well–documented requests for tuition refund based upon extenuating circumstances beyond the control of the student (e.g., medical/psychological issues, death in the family or other family crisis) and with the support of the relevant faculty members, will be approved. Tuition refunds require the approval of the Chancellor.
If, for acceptable reasons, students find it necessary to interrupt progress toward their degrees for more than one semester (interterm and summer sessions do not constitute a semester), a leave of absence may be granted. A leave permits students to retain the right to elect requirements in effect at time of the leave or to adopt those in effect at time of return. Requests for Leave of Absence forms or Graduate Petition forms are available at the appropriate dean's office. All complete forms should be submitted to the appropriate dean's office for review. (Students wishing to leave during a semester prior to the end of the withdrawal period must also officially drop all coursework, either via "My Chapman" Portal or at the Office of the University Registrar.) The dean's office will notify the Office of the University Registrar whether the leave application is approved. Minimum requirements for a leave of absence are as follows:
Graduate students who have broken enrollment for a period of more than one semester without receiving an approved Leave of Absence are required to request re–enrollment through the department (interterm and summer sessions do not constitute a semester). All students are held to the degree requirements in effect at the time of their return unless approved for their original catalog year requirements by the program director or appropriate dean.
Students who do not attend the first class meeting of a course in which they are registered may be administratively dropped, unless they make arrangements with the instructor prior to the first day of class. Students who do not attend the first two weeks of class will be administratively dropped from the course if identified by the instructor as not having attended. Students should contact the instructor if a possible error has been made regarding an administrative drop.
By action of the Graduate Academic Council, all graduate work must be taken for a letter grade. Any exceptions to this policy will be noted in the course description of the specific course.
After initial registration in a course, in order to change the grading basis (e.g., to "P/NP") students must submit a Graduate Petition form to the Office of the University Registrar requesting the change. The deadline for changing a course's grading basis is the end of the tenth week for fall and spring semesters. (See academic calendar for corresponding dates for interterm and summer terms.) Changes in grading basis cannot be done via "My Chapman" Portal. Once a course is graded, students cannot request a change in grading option. Certain courses require letter grades only and certain courses allow only Pass/No Pass as the grading option. Such restrictions are noted in the course descriptions.
A student who satisfactorily completes a "P/NP" course will receive a "P" grade. Credit will be granted. However, no grade points are assigned and the grade is not computed in the grade–point average. "P" grades are equivalent to a "C+" grade or higher.
A grade of "NP" (no pass) will be given when the requirements for credit in the course have not been satisfied at the level of "C+" or higher. "NP" grades are given for "C" and below. No credit is granted, no grade points are assigned and the "NP" is not computed in the grade–point average.
Students who take a course Pass/No Pass, cease attending part way through the semester and fail to officially withdraw from the course will receive an "FW" grade. "FW" is computed in the grade point average as an "F."
The grade of Incomplete may be assigned by an instructor if a student, through circumstances beyond his or her control, has not completed a small portion of a course by the conclusion of the term. The student must request the grade of Incomplete and must propose a date acceptable to the faculty member by which the missing work will be completed. A grade of Incomplete may not be assigned to give a student a chance to do more work to improve a grade. A grade of Incomplete may also be assigned by an instructor if academic integrity is in question at the time grades are due and the instructor requires more time to resolve the issue.
The deadline for removal of an Incomplete is one year from the first day of the term in which the Incomplete was recorded, unless a shorter period of time is specified by the instructor. In certain circumstances where the student must attend the class to fulfill the remaining requirements and when the course is not offered every semester, at the instructor's discretion, the deadline for removal of the Incomplete will be one year from the end of the term in which the Incomplete was recorded. The deadline determined by the faculty member must be specified at the time of original submission of the incomplete grade. When issuing an Incomplete grade, instructors may issue the grade the student would have earned by assessing scores on all graded requirements. This grade is determined by including all zero points for all missing assignments in the calculation of the final grade. For final grades other than "I" (see below) students will receive credit for the course at the time the initial grade is entered. The initial grade is calculated in both the term and cumulative GPA, to be updated if and when the subsequent grade is submitted. If the agreed upon remaining coursework is not completed in the period allotted, the initial grade issued, without the "I", will become the grade of record.
If the instructor determines that the student would receive an "F" grade based upon the zero point calculation, then an "I" grade is entered as the final grade, with zero credit given and zero points calculated. "I" grades will become "F" or "NP" if the agreed upon coursework is not completed in the period allotted.
Grades and corresponding grade points are as follows:
grade points
failure to withdraw
no pass
not reported
satisfactory progress
Students dropping a course in the prescribed manner after the add–drop period and on or before the final day to withdraw from a course (as stated in the academic calendar section) will receive a non–punitive "W" notation.
The "FW" grade is assigned to students who cease attending part way through the semester but who do not officially withdraw via "My Chapman" Portal or the Office of the University Registrar. "FW" is computed in the grade–point average as an "F." Students who take a course Pass/No Pass, cease attending part way through the semester and fail to withdraw officially will receive the "NP" grade.
Note: By action of the Graduate Academic Council, all graduate work must be taken for a letter grade. Any exceptions to this policy will be noted in the course description of the specific course.
Grade Points
Grade points are awarded as follows: A = 4, A– = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B– = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0*, C– = 1.7*
*Grades of this level and below are considered unacceptable work for graduate students.
Except as specified by department or school, any graduate–level course at Chapman may be repeated to improve the grade, but no more than two graduate courses may be repeated. The lower grade remains on the record with a notation that the course has been repeated. Only the higher grade and credit are computed in the grade point average. Other than possible exceptions related to academic integrity violations, only the higher grade and credit are computed in the grade–point average. It is recommended that a course be repeated as soon as practical if it is to be taken for a higher grade. In exercising this option, a graduate student must repeat the course at Chapman University.
No credit is earned from audited classes. A notation of "AU" is assigned to audited classes and is not used in computing the grade–point average. Course requisites are enforced in the determination of registration eligibility for the course. Audit fees will be assessed. It is strongly recommended that students confer with their advisors prior to officially auditing a course.
No preregistration is allowed for courses taken as audit. Students must use the official registration form and obtain the instructor's signature to register for a course as audit; the deadline for such a transaction is the same as the add/drop deadline for regular courses for all terms. Course requirements such as homework, exams and papers are not graded by the instructor for students who are auditing a course.
Not all courses are eligible to be audited.
An accelerated program combines both undergraduate and graduate education by allowing the undergraduate student to be conditionally admitted into the graduate program while still completing all undergraduate degree requirements. An accelerated program has a curriculum mapped across both degree programs. Typically, accelerated programs allow for the successful completion of the undergraduate and graduate degrees via a 4 + 1 or 3 + 2 combination of undergraduate and graduate coursework.
Chapman students must apply to a graduate program in their junior or senior year. Students will receive conditional admission to the program, pending completion of their bachelor's degree as stipulated in the graduate catalog. (See explanations of conditional admission in the graduate catalog.) The minimum amount of credits required for any accelerated bachelor's/master's program is 148 total credits. If accepted into a 4 + 1 graduate program students may include up to 12 credits of approved graduate–level coursework once they have completed 90 undergraduate credits. If accepted into a 3 + 2 graduate program, students may include up to 24 credits of approved graduate–level coursework once they have completed 90 undergraduate credits. Students would complete the remaining credit hours of graduate coursework beginning in the semester after receiving the undergraduate degree. The application process, prerequisites, GPA and graduate program requirements are as specified for the graduate program.
Individually directed courses cannot be audited.
Reading and Conference Courses
Reading and conference courses are offered only when absolutely necessary and when the course is not scheduled. The courses are not offered to resolve scheduling conflicts with other classes or work or to complete a schedule.
To enroll in reading and conference courses, students must complete a reading and conference form (available online and from the Office of the University Registrar) and obtain the signatures of the department chair of the course and course instructor. After receiving approval, the student must submit the form to the Office of the University Registrar. A minimum of five hours of instruction for each credit is required for reading and conference courses.
Individual Study and Research
Individual study and research is offered to students to research particular topics that are not provided for by regular curriculum offerings.
To enroll in individual study and research, students must complete the individual study and research form (available from the Office of the University Registrar) and obtain the signatures of the department chair of the course and course instructor. After receiving approval, the student must submit the form to the Office of the University Registrar. Students should spend 40 to 50 hours in instruction and research for each credit of individual study.
Student–Faculty Research and Creative Activity
Student–faculty independent research and creative activity is available to graduate matriculated–students only. Projects are normally extracurricular, meaning outside of a degree or minor program's curriculum and requirements and outside of standard course structure. Student–faculty independent research and creative activity is not intended to replace a capstone in the major or to supply coverage for a gap in the curriculum/degree program.
To enroll in student–faculty research and creative activity, students must meet with a faculty mentor to discuss and prepare the proposal/contract. The faculty mentor submits the final proposal/contract approved by the chair/associate dean to the Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) by the published deadline posted on the OUR website. The OUR will review the proposed research and notify faculty and student and will submit approved projects to the Office of the University Registrar for enrollment.
Chapman University is sensitive to the educational advantages of a flexible curriculum, but is also conscious of a responsibility to ensure equity for all students. Permission to deviate from published regulations is neither automatic nor done as a formality; each request is considered on its own merits and in light of the petitioner's complete academic record. Internal guidelines have been established to help committee members with their deliberation on individual cases.
The Graduate Academic Council is responsible for creating academic policies and procedures within the University. A student's petition to deviate from general University policies is submitted to the Graduate Academic Council via the Office of the University Registrar. The Graduate Petition form is available online at the Office of the University Registrar's website. Petitions are reviewed by the Graduate Academic Council as follows:
The decisions on petitions made by the Graduate Academic Council are recorded within the student's record; students are notified by the Office of the University Registrar via the student's Chapman email account. Please note that a fee may be assessed for certain petition types.
(See "Grade Review Policy" and "Probation and Dismissal Policy" for specific requirements.)
Each student has the right of academic appeal. For academic matters, the process normally begins with the faculty member involved, if appropriate. Appeals go to the department or program and then to the Graduate Academic Council. For nonacademic matters, students should first discuss the matter with the head of the appropriate department (facilities management, business office, etc.) with appeals to the appropriate supervisor. For matters concerning disabled student services, students should contact the director of the Office of Disability Services at (714) 744–7971.
Students may appeal a decision of the Graduate Academic Council (with the exception of grade reviews where the Graduate Academic Council decision is final) to the Office of the Chancellor by providing documented evidence demonstrating one or both of the following grounds for appeal:
Students who wish to appeal a decision of the Graduate Academic Council must submit a written appeal to the vice chancellor for graduate education in the Office of the Chancellor within 10 working days of the date they are notified of the decision of the council. The written appeal must include the following:
The appeal and accompanying documents submitted to the Office of the Chancellor will be kept in the Office of the Chancellor and will not be returned to the student.
Students submitting appeals to the Office of the Chancellor may request to meet with the vice chancellor for graduate education to discuss their appeals. This meeting should normally occur within five working days of submission of the materials described above. The vice chancellor for graduate education will consult with the Graduate Academic Council in reviewing the appeal.
Students will be notified of the decision of the Office of the Chancellor in writing. The decision of the Office of the Chancellor on the student academic appeals is final and there is no additional process of appeal.
Professors, as experts in their fields, have the final authority in assigning student grades, except for cases involving clear evidence of capricious grading or failure to follow the professional standards of the discipline.
Faculty members may change final grades after submission to the Office of the University Registrar only for clerical error. Furthermore, additional work may not be assigned to enable the student to receive a higher grade.
However, a student who believes that he or she has received a grade based on capricious or unprofessional grading may appeal personally to the instructor for an explanation of the grade and for possible reconsideration. As a professional scholar and educator, the instructor should be able to explain the grading criteria, how the criteria meet the standards of the discipline and how the individual student's grade derives from these criteria.
If, after consulting with the instructor, the grade dispute is not resolved or if the student has made a good faith effort to contact the instructor and has received no response, the student may appeal directly to the department chair of the academic unit in which the course was offered (or the associate dean if there is no department chair). All grade appeals must be filed in writing within 30 days from the date that the grade was assigned. The department chair may deny the student petition, confer directly with the instructor of record in the course to resolve the dispute, form a faculty committee to review the grade or refer the petition to the dean's office of the school or college of the department. If the grade dispute is decided unfavorably for the student at the departmental level, the student may further appeal the decision directly to the dean's office. The dean's office will make the final college–level decision on the petition.
After the dean's office notifies the student of its decision, the student has two weeks to request a review by the Graduate Academic Council. Such a request may be made only if compelling new evidence appears or if there is substantive evidence that the petition process was not followed in accordance with the grade challenge policy. The Graduate Academic Council will render a final decision and there is no additional process of appeal.
Changes in grades may occur only through the petition process initiated by an individual student. Any newly assigned grades will be recorded in the student's official record.
It is the responsibility of each graduating student to refer to the program evaluation in "My Chapman" portal to check which requirements have been completed and which requirements still need to be completed. A student may not shift this responsibility to an adviser or to the staff of the Office of the University Registrar.
Although a student may have completed all requirements, graduation is not automatic. Every degree candidate is required to submit the online an Application for Degree Conferral with the Office of the University Registrar. If the student should fail to complete requirements by the intended graduation date, the student must immediately request a future graduation date. If a student fails to complete requirements and has not requested the application be moved to a future date, the application shall become void and the student must refile when anticipating degree completion.
Submission of the application is done online via "My Chapman" Portal. For information and application deadlines, refer to the Chapman University website. Chapman confers degrees three times during the academic year, refer to the academic calendar for conferral dates. All degree requirements must be completed by the last day of the month in which the degree is to be conferred.
Formal University commencement ceremonies are held annually in May. To participate in the ceremonies, students must submit an online participation form with the Office of the Chancellor. To be eligible at the time of the participation form deadline, students must have filed the application for degree conferral and the student's official program evaluation must indicate that the student is on course to complete all degree requirements satisfactorily (including comprehensive examination, thesis/project) by the commencement date. Students receiving degrees in January or at the end of the summer are entitled to participate in the following May commencement ceremonies.
The James L. Doti Outstanding Graduate Student Award is awarded annually and is the highest honor for graduate students at Chapman University. Two Doti awards are granted, one for a master's degree student and one for a Ph.D. student. The original Doti award trophy, incorporating artist Nick Hernandez's sculpture Emergence, remains on perpetual exhibit in Argyros Forum. Upon the trophy is engraved the names of all Doti Award recipients since 2013. The recipients must exhibit academic excellence and outstanding professional leadership during his/her graduate school matriculation at Chapman University.
No transcripts or diplomas are released to any student who has an unpaid balance to Chapman University or to any Chapman sponsored agency or who has not completed the required Financial Aid exit interview.
Diplomas are mailed out approximately three weeks after the date of conferral of the degree. Under no circumstances will a diploma be released prior to the conferral date.
Unless otherwise allowed by Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) regulations, all official transcripts are issued only with written permission of the student. Information on requesting official transcripts is available at www.chapman.edu/transcript. Unofficial transcripts are available only via "My Chapman" portal.
Faculty members are responsible for ensuring an effective learning environment for all students in their classes, which encourages active student participation, including the right to raise questions and challenge information. Hence, faculty members also have the responsibility and authority to maintain appropriate student behavior. Classes are defined as including laboratories, internships, field placements or any settings that can be designated as a learning environment, such as travel studies and field trips.
Consequently, if a student is considered to be threatening or disruptive in the classroom, behaves in a way that interferes with the learning of other students or refuses to fulfill the academic requirements of the course, the faculty member has the right to have the student who demonstrates such behavior removed from the class, either by administrative withdrawal or by making arrangements for the student to complete the requirements in absentia.
The faculty member should immediately report the matter to the dean and department chair. The faculty member may also request the assistance of the dean of students to provide advice or to mediate the dispute.
A student who wishes to appeal the decision of the faculty member must submit the appeal in writing to the relevant academic dean within five working days of the decision. The dean will then conduct an investigation and respond to the student with a written decision within five working days. If during the appeal, the dean determines that the faculty member is possibly at fault, the dean may address the situation directly with the faculty member or may refer the matter to the chancellor for disposition. If the student is dissatisfied with this outcome, he or she may submit a written appeal to the chancellor, whose decision in these matters is final and binding. During this period of appeal, the student may not return to class. Even if the student's appeal is successful, the student may not return to the class unless the faculty member has specifically agreed to this. If the chancellor upholds the earlier decision, the student may still be subject to the student conduct system for further conduct review at the discretion of the dean of students.
Chapman University is a community of scholars that emphasizes the mutual responsibility of all members to seek knowledge honestly and in good faith. Students are responsible for doing their own work and academic dishonesty of any kind will be subject to sanction by the instructor and referral to the University's Academic Integrity Committee, which may impose additional sanctions including expulsion. Please see the full description of Chapman University's policy on Academic Integrity at www.chapman.edu/academics/academic-integrity.
Academic dishonesty can take a number of forms including but not limited to the following:
Cheating: Using or attempting to use unauthorized assistance, information or study aids in any academic exercise.
Fabrication: The falsification or invention of any information or citation in an academic exercise.
Facilitating Academic Dishonesty: Knowingly helping or attempting to help another to violate any provision of this policy.
Plagiarism: Representing the words, research findings or ideas of another person as your own in any academic exercise. [At their discretion, faculty may submit student work to plagiarism–detection software, such as www.turnitin.com for review.]
Misrepresentation of Academic Records: Misrepresenting, tampering with or attempting to tamper with any University academic document, either before or after coming to Chapman University.
Chapman University students are expected to adhere to standards of ethics and integrity in research and scholarship. Misconduct in research includes fabrication, falsification, plagiarism or other practices that deviate significantly from those that are commonly accepted within the scholarly, creative and scientific community for proposing, conducting or reviewing research or in reporting research results. Key examples of such misconduct are listed below:
Falsification of Data:
Dishonesty in Presentation and Publication:
Violation of Regulations:
Unethical Research Practices:
Legal Violations:
The usual order of recommended sanctions is as follows:
Possible Sanctions
The sanction given to a student is entirely up to the instructor or administrator, based on the severity of the violation. The following are only examples of possible sanctions that can be given out:
Additional Information on Sanctions
If the student accepts responsibility for the charge and the imposed sanction, the matter is immediately resolved. If the allegation or founded violation represents a second violation of the Academic Integrity Policy, the Academic Integrity Committee will review the case regardless of whether the student decides to contest the violation report or sanction.
Any student who has received an Academic Integrity Committee sanction letter is encouraged to schedule a meeting with the vice chancellor for student affairs and dean of students or designee to discuss the situation prior to contesting the case.
If the student disagrees with the violation report or the sanction of the instructor or administrator, the student can contest the violation report or sanction to the Academic Integrity Committee by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com, addressed to the Academic Integrity Committee chair.
A student who decides to contest the violation report or sanction must prepare a written document that includes evidence in support of the argument and that is thoughtful, well reasoned and substantive.
1. Additional evidence that may have affected the instructor's or administrator's decision and that came to light after the sanction was imposed.
2. Clear evidence of improper procedure for charging a student with academic dishonest–specifically, basing the finding on incomplete or inappropriate evidence or imposing a sanction that is substantially incommensurate with the violation.
The Academic Integrity Committee chair will notify the student via Chapman email regarding whether a hearing will be held at least five Chapman University business days in advance of the scheduled hearing date if a hearing is to be held.
If the Academic Integrity Committee hears the student's case, the following individuals will participate:
Should the student fail to appear before the Academic Integrity Committee, the Academic Integrity Committee shall have full authority to proceed in the student's absence. Any student who misses the scheduled hearing with the Academic Integrity Committee forfeits the right to appeal the Academic Integrity Committee's decision to the Office of the Chancellor. If, for any reason, the student needs to reschedule the meeting with the Academic Integrity Committee, the committee must receive a 24–hour notice.
At the start of the hearing, the student is invited to present his or her case. The student has the right to present relevant supporting evidence. The student should be brief, concise and organized in presenting the case.
After the student has presented the case and all questions have been addressed, the student will be excused and the Academic Integrity Committee will deliberate. Deliberation may result in the following:
After the Academic Integrity Committee makes its decision, the chair will notify the student in writing and via Chapman email. Decisions of the Academic Integrity Committee are based on the standard of proof whether it is more likely than not that the student violated the Academic Integrity Policy of Chapman University.
If unsatisfied with the outcome of the Academic Integrity Committee hearing to contest the violation report or sanction, the student may appeal the decision of the Academic Integrity Committee to the Chancellor by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com within five Chapman University business days of receiving the Academic Integrity Committee decision letter. This period is known as "the appeal period." In exceptional circumstances, a student may file a request to the chancellor for an extension of the appeal period by emailing email@example.com. Requests for extensions must be made within the appeal period.
Appeals are not granted automatically. They must be thoughtful, well reasoned and substantive and they must demonstrate that at least one of the following criteria exists:
The Office of the Chancellor has the final authority on all Academic Integrity Policy violation cases.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

SEBASTOPOL and ST. HELENA -- Palm Drive Hospital is in talks with the St. Helena Region of Adventist Health about possible affiliation as it seeks long-term financial stability after years of uncertainty.
The 37-bed Sebastopol hospital, which just last year emerged from Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection, has identified the Roseville-based health group as a possible parent that could help chart a return to solvency and possibly increased services, according to Palm Drive Healthcare District board officials.
Palm Drive has made it known that it would seek as many strategic alliances as it could, as consensus emerged that a stand-alone hospital, overseen by the Palm Drive Healthcare District, would struggle to survive on its own at current fiscal projections. A committee was set up to explore such options earlier this year, said Jared Dreyfus, a board member who sits on that committee, and the talks with Adventist are a result of that.
"Two things really made [Adventist Health] really attractive to the committee -- one was the team that is coming to look at us is the team that is running the St. Helena Region, and that team made a very dramatic turnaround in St. Helena," Mr. Dreyfus said. "The second thing was we learned early that the St. Helena Region itself had done a very similar deal with Red Bud Community Hospital in Clearlake."
Terry Newmyer, chief executive officer of the St. Helena Region, echoed Mr. Dreyfus's points in confirming that Adventist Health is exploring the possibility of adding Palm Drive to its regional portfolio.

Canon 70-200 L F/4 IS USM and sound of image stabilization
Last week I bought the Canon 70-200 L F/4 IS USM lens and during testing last week I noticed the sound of the image stabilization. My other lenses (although not L lenses) don't make any sound during image stabilization but the new lens does.
My question: is it normal to hear the image stabilization for this lens (during focusing and two seconds after) and how loud should this sound be?
Thanks in advance.

The past month has not been an easy one for Gerard Schwarz.
First the Seattle Symphony music director broke his leg and his ankle in a skiing accident, and underwent surgical repair of the ankle. Then came a mammoth, negative story in The New York Times, raking up a couple of years' worth of Seattle Symphony controversy and blaming the maestro. Finally, the past weekend presented a concert schedule that would tax the healthiest of conductors: four successive performances of the mighty Beethoven's Ninth.
You'd think that the current set of subscription concerts, featuring Beethoven's Fifth, might find an exhausted conductor and a cranky orchestra. Instead, Thursday's performance was an exciting affair, with the musicians playing hard, well and attentively for a conductor who didn't seem to have his energy diminished at all by the trip to the podium on crutches and the awkward business of conducting from a stool. A near-capacity audience showed up for the concert and cheered the performance with every evidence of enjoyment.
The program, which opened with Johann Strauss Jr.'s "On the Beautiful Blue Danube" Waltzes, had plenty of Viennese lilt and sway, though the woodwind punctuation of the opening melody was decidedly uncoordinated. (The winds made up for it, though, in a spectacularly lovely passage in the Beethoven's "Andante con moto" movement.)

The young pianist Stewart Goodyear turned in a clear, solid performance of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor (K.466). It wasn't the usual young guy's flash-and-dash traversal of the Mozart but instead was a surprisingly sober account that was a model of clarity.
No matter how often one has heard Beethoven's Fifth, it's great to hear a performance of this energy and urgency. There was nothing perfunctory, nothing business-as-usual, about this reading, which brought forth the intensity and grandeur of this classic. What a way to usher in 2008.

text: Diagnosis By Mayo Clinic Staff Print To diagnose varicose veins, your doctor will do a physical exam, including looking at your legs while you're standing to check for swelling. Your doctor may also ask you to describe any pain and aching in your legs. You also may need an ultrasound test to see if the valves in your veins are functioning normally or if there's any evidence of a blood clot. In this noninvasive test, a technician runs a small hand-held device (transducer), about the size of a bar of soap, against your skin over the area of your body being examined. The transducer transmits images of the veins in your legs to a monitor, so a technician and your doctor can see them.

BRISTOL TOWNSHIP — Officials are asking for help to recover a gas generator that was stolen last week from a traffic light at South Olds Boulevard and Levittown Parkway.
A red Honda EG3500 series generator with yellow BTEMA lettering was taken between 12 and 5 a.m. Wednesday even though it was chained and padlocked to a traffic light, township officials said. It was the third township generator stolen in the past three years after being acquired through a state grant for emergencies, they said.

The Unofficial Last Night in ParisParis, Summer 2009
Exams are over. I leave tomorrow afternoon for Venice-the start of my travels before I return to Paris the last week of July. Many IES students have already left for home or their next excursion. Today I'm scrambling to organize the loose ends of my travels-euros, luggage, hostels, beaches, dangers. In other words, my last day in Paris is not my day for last minute sight-seeing and Au Revoirs...yesterday was my unofficial Last Day in Paris. After an exciting grammer final, IES had a departure lunch organized for the students. While reflecting over my farfelle, I realized a few things about my stay in Paris: 1. I learned more French than I had orignally thought. 2. I made several valuable friendships (we made sure to have one last picture taken of the "fab 5") that I hope to continue in the States. 3. I'm not really into cheese. 4. Paris is just short of paradise (only by 2 letters in French!) and I hope to return in a context in which I don't have to study as often. That night Devyn and I made dinner to celebrate our last night in Paris. We had a fabulous view of the Tour Eiffel during dinner and decided to change the scenery for nightfall. We found the best spot in Paris- the pyrmids outside the Louvre, with the glittering Tour Eiffel to our left; the entrance to the Tuleries Gardens ahead, and a glowing Ferris Wheel to our right. The Ferris Wheel is not a permanent monument, of course, so we figured that we had better explore. Le Fete de Tuleries, a carnival in Paris...what better way to go out? The carnival was different than american carnivals-the neon lights and colors, the clean rides, the music were all very remaniscent of the carnivals in classic Hollywood films. The man operating the Ferris Wheel thought is was hilarious to spin our car every time we passed. We could see the city from the top, when we weren't making circles. We rode the Phantom Train next, and a ride that tilted us and flipped us upside down. The carnival closed close to midnight and Devyn and I seperated at the metro, feeling dizzy, satified, and a little sad to leave the city. I made my last walk "home," and began to pack for my three weeks without one. I feel almost as unprepared to leave Paris as the day I left six weeks ago from Chicago, but I'll be back soon. A bientot, Paris!

Trafficking in Persons Report 2009 - Djibouti

|United States Department of State, Trafficking in Persons Report 2009 - Djibouti, 16 June 2009, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/4a4214c032.html [accessed 30 May 2016]

DJIBOUTI (Tier 2 Watch List)
Djibouti is a source, transit, and destination country for women and children trafficked for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and domestic servitude. Large numbers of voluntary economic migrants from Ethiopia and Somalia pass illegally through Djibouti en route to Yemen and other locations in the Middle East; among this group, a small number of women and girls may fall victim to involuntary domestic servitude or commercial sexual exploitation after reaching Djibouti City or the Ethiopia-Djibouti trucking corridor. Others fall victim to human trafficking after reaching their destinations in the Middle East. Djibouti's large refugee population – comprised of Somalis, Ethiopians, and Eritreans – remains vulnerable to various forms of exploitation, including human trafficking. A small number of girls from impoverished Djiboutian families may engage in prostitution with the encouragement of family members or other persons engaged in prostitution. Prostitution in Djibouti occurs in apartments, brothels, and on the streets; members of foreign militaries stationed in Djibouti reportedly contribute to the demand for women and girls in prostitution, including trafficking victims. Polish authorities identified one female Djiboutian trafficking victim in 2008.
The Government of Djibouti does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking; however, it is making significant efforts to do so. Despite these significant overall efforts, the government showed only limited evidence of progress in prosecuting specific human trafficking offenses and in raising public awareness of the crime; therefore, Djibouti is placed on Tier 2 Watch List.
Recommendations for Djibouti: Continue to enforce the anti-trafficking statute through the successful prosecution of trafficking offenders; launch a nationwide campaign to educate all levels of government officials and the general public on the issue of human trafficking; develop a plan for providing training on the anti-trafficking law and its provisions to law enforcement and social welfare officials, including judges, lawyers, police, immigration officers, and social workers; establish formal policies and procedures for government officials to proactively identify and interview potential trafficking victims and transfer them to the care, when appropriate, of local NGOs or international organizations; and establish mechanisms for providing increased protective services to trafficking victims, possibly through the forging of partnerships with NGOs or civil society organizations.
The Government of Djibouti made nascent efforts to bring trafficking offenders and migrant smugglers to justice during the reporting period. Law 210, "Regarding the Fight Against Human Trafficking," enacted in December 2007, covers both internal and transnational trafficking and prohibits all forms of trafficking in persons. It provides for the protection of victims regardless of ethnicity, gender, or nationality, and prescribes penalties of up to 30 years' imprisonment for trafficking offenders. These penalties are sufficiently stringent and commensurate with those prescribed for other grave crimes, such as rape. The Ministry of Justice reported its use of Law 210 during the reporting period to prosecute and convict illegal migrant smugglers and their accomplices, but it did not provide further information on such cases; it is unclear whether any of them involve human trafficking. Throughout the year, Djibouti's Brigade des Moeurs (Vice Police) conducted regular nighttime sweeps of the capital's bars and streets and preventatively detained an unknown number of Ethiopian and Somali minors suspected to be engaged in prostitution. The brigade reportedly detained their exploiters as well; specific information regarding the punishment of pimps was not provided.
With few resources itself and a very small pool of local NGOs, the government had few options for meeting the needs of children exploited in prostitution during the year. One NGO, in consultation with the Ministry of Women, continued to operate a drop-in day center for street children at risk of becoming victims of trafficking, prostitution, or other forms of exploitation. The Council of Ministers took no action in 2008 to ensure comprehensive care for victims as mandated under Article 18 of Law 210. After detaining children on suspicion of engaging in prostitution, police attempted to locate and meet with parents or other family members to discuss appropriate child protection; children were then released to the care of family members. As a last resort, Ethiopian and Somali children detained by police on suspicion of involvement in prostitution were housed in quarters at the Police Academy before deportation. In 2008, renovation began on several rooms at the academy to improve accommodations for these children. Police worked with the Ministry of Health's clinic and hospitals, as well as NGOs, to provide medical care to victims of child prostitution. No charges were filed against minors detained on suspicion of engaging in prostitution in 2008. The police began a study of the family situations of prostituted minors in 2008.
The government accommodated a growing number of asylum-seeking defectors from the Eritrean military during the reporting period. As of March 2009, the government and UNHCR registered 129 Eritrean military defectors – some of whom may be trafficking victims – as asylum-seekers after conducting joint interviews. The government has not yet developed a formal referral process to transfer trafficking victims to the care of NGOs, or a system for proactively identifying victims of trafficking among vulnerable populations. Authorities did not encourage victims to participate in investigations or prosecutions of traffickers.
During the reporting period, the government did not launch an information campaign specifically targeted at raising public awareness of human trafficking. In an effort to prevent the forced labor and commercial sexual exploitation of Ethiopian and Somali illegal migrants in Yemen and Saudi Arabia, however, the state-run media published numerous stories on the dangers of illegal migration. In addition, the military regularly detained boats suspected to be smuggling African migrants to Yemen and imprisoned their operators. Article 16 of Law 210 requires the government to establish or support policies or programs to prevent human trafficking through awareness campaigns, training programs, and social and economic initiatives; no discernable progress was made in any of these areas during the reporting period. During the reporting period, the government invited IOM to open an office in Djibouti, and provided office space within the Ministry of Labor. In March 2009, government officials began collaborating with IOM for an awareness campaign on the dangers of irregular migration, including the risk of becoming a trafficking victim. The government worked to reduce the demand for commercial sex acts by continuing to investigate child sexual exploitation cases and deploying a regular police vice squad. The government did not take any known measures in 2008 to reduce the demand for forced labor.

I am probably jinxing myself, but the odds are against me dying in an accident - especially in a way that would let my family cash in on an accidental death benefit.
"Act now!" You probably get the form in the mail too, if you have a general life insurance policy. It's an offer to increase your coverage through accidental death for what seems like a pal-try monthly amount.
But is it really worth the money? Am I really likely to die in an accident?
According to Statistics Canada, accidents or unintentional injuries were the fifth leading cause of death in 2008 - the latest information available. Cancer was No. 1, followed by heart disease, stroke and respiratory diseases; only 4.3% of Canadian deaths that year were accidental.
Jim Christie, president of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries, says the evidence suggests young people are far more likely to die in accidents. "Accidents are a major cause of death for younger individuals, say 15 to 30," says Mr. Christie, offering no opinion on whether or not those people are more likely to have insurance.
They are not. So, if I'm a 47-year-old boring male with two children, who drives around in an oversized sport utility vehicle armed with snow tires, paying decent attention to the speed limit, you have to believe I'm a lower risk.
"In the late teens, certainly up to the 30s, [accidents] are usually the No. 1 or No. 2 cause of death," says Mr. Christie. "As you get older you take more pre-cautions. If you have kids, and you need money to look after them in the event of your death, you really need a life insurance policy not an accidental death policy."
Mark Halpern of illnesspro-tection.com says there are some cases in which an accidental death policy might make sense to a client, but it is not the preferred option.
"If a person has a heart attack or gets cancer, you get nothing [with accidental death]," says Mr. Halpern.
"There are people out there who think they have real life insurance when all they have is this accidental death. You have life insurance and you rob a bank and you get killed and your family will get paid."
Let's say you want $100,000 in insurance at a guaranteed rate for a 10-year term. For a 40-year-old healthy male non-smoker, it would be $13 a month. To double that benefit, and add $100,000 in accidental life, it would be an-other $9 a month.
"You are spending on some-thing you won't likely ever collect," says Mr. Halpern, noting that for $23 a month the same person could get $200,000 worth of term insurance.
But there is a scenario in which you might want to buy an accidental death benefit, namely if you are otherwise un-insurable.
"The other reason might be that you are in a high-risk profession. Maybe you test dynamite for a living," says Mr. Halpern. "Maybe you travel a lot and you're in planes a lot."
There are reasons other than bad health for being denied insurance.
Mr. Halpern says he had a client with a driving record that disqualified him from getting life insurance, so he had the client buy accidental death insurance until his driving record was considered clean.
Before you jump into an accidental death policy, you should also take a close look at it. There are a number of exclusions on mine. For starters, you cannot be drunk driving or even drunk biking. You also cannot have any drugs in your system that are not prescribed by a doctor. Don't die in the dental chair and forget about dying from an infection unless you received it from an external visible wound caused by an accident.
Lawyer Michael Smitiuch of Smitiuch Injury Law says companies refusing to pay out are a regular occurrence for a variety of reasons.
"What I see is we have a lot of cases involving life insurance generally and specifically with the accidental life insurance. The area where we encounter issues is typically with the exclusions and they usually involve alcohol and drugs," says Mr. Smitiuch, who says when you die, insurance companies dig a little deeper into your life. "They look for a misrepresentation."
The answer is to read the con-tract very carefully before you sign.
That's not to say accidental life can't make sense for some people. But it's no accident insurance companies offer the product at rates which can be high relative to their risk.

92. What is the rule on the effective date of a claim?
When the Veterans Affairs finds that a veteran is entitled to cash benefits, it will assign an effective date for when these begin. Pursuant to 38 C.F.R. 3.400 (2), the effective date of VA disability compensation benefits for direct service connection is the "[d] ay following separation from active service OR date entitlement arose if claim is received within 1 year after separation from service; otherwise, date of receipt of claim, or date entitlement arose, whichever is later." See 38 U.S.C. 5110(a).

"Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling, as in all careers of importance, victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats."
"All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you."
"The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong"
"Imaginary obstacles are insurmountable. Real ones aren't. But you can't tell the difference when you have no real information. Fear can create even more imaginary obstacles than ignorance can. That's why the smallest step away from speculation and into reality can be an amazing relief. The Reality Solution means: Do it before you're ready."
"By prevailing over all obstacles and distractions, one may unfailingly arrive at his chosen goal or destination."
"Every noble work is bound to face problems and obstacles. It is important to check your goal and motivation thoroughly. One should be very truthful, honest, and reasonable. One's actions should be good for others, and for oneself as well. Once a positive goal is chosen, you should decide to pursue it all the way to the end. Even if it is not realized, at least there will be no regret."
"The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew."

depending on how old your desktop is there might or might not be a slot for it. If not, just hook up the camera with the card in it, and when the computer picks it up as a drive, drag and drop songs onto it. If the laptop is either bit new at all, it will have a slot, usually on the side, and it may have a little plug in it, something to push in and then it pops out, or it may just be an open slot for it. If you have to, just hook the camera up to the laptop too, and drag the songs back off the SD card into a folder. You could also, depending on how many you have, burn off CD's or DVD's to transfer them, I'd rather spend the $10-20 on a thumb drive though.
Cloud drive is just online storage, just google it. It's available to you once you log in and you can see whatever you upload there from any computer.

Interesting. Every major body of water needs one or more such mysterious spots. I'm a little confused by this line though... "The Bloodmaw's purpose is the add decoration, strategic depth, etc. to a map, not to provide a quest, though" Aside from that, if one goes with the twin giant sharks option, maybe the "red sea" around the maelstrom is not from the dirt at the sea's bottom, but from the various sea-creatures the sharks herd and devour, while chasing each other in circles. A sort of frenzied feeding. "Aye, Jimbo, the seas be red around the maelstrom. The Sons-of-the-Seagod be feeding again!"Go to Comment
"Elizabeth, 3, blood loss from removed limbs."
That is a little graphic no? Nobody says s**t about this but people get all huffy if you type f**k. Darn backward moral code if you asked me.
Overall this reminds of the anti-batman character from the comic Nemesis (thanks A.B.) and of course the character from Se7en (with the single finger print and all).
As to Adam Smith, I like this version of him and his blood thirsty capital_crimes_list. Get it Adam Smith wrote "The wealth of nations" and this Adam Smith made a lot of deposits in the blood bank.....no?....bah
