01.00.01 – Student Inactivity in Courses Policy

Purpose

Students are expected to actively engage in their education by attending and/or participating in class activities (face-to-face or at a distance). Faculty are expected to monitor their students’ active participation and make contact by phone and UAMS email with those who have not initiated or maintained active participation in their course(s) for a period of one week. If a satisfactory reason is not presented to the faculty, the student does not actively engage in learning activities and/or the faculty member is unable to get in contact with the student, the faculty member should report this to the associate dean for academic affairs. The ADAA will attempt to contact the student to learn the reason for his/her lack of participation. If a satisfactory reason is not presented, the student does not actively engage in learning activities and/or the ADAA is unable to get in contact with the student in a one- week period, the ADAA will notify the Registrar and the student will be administratively dropped from the class(es). If all classes are dropped, the student is administratively withdrawn from the College of Health Professions program.
