University and Department Policies
(1) Add / Drop / Waitlist - If you are waitlisted for this class, it is IMPERATIVE that
you familiarize yourself with departmental policies and deadlines. For this, please visit
http://www.colorado.edu/spanish/resources/dropadd-policy
(2) Prerequisites not met - If your instructor informs you that the system has flagged
you because you do not meet the pre-requisites for this course, you should meet in person
with Javier Rivas, the associate chair for undergraduate studies, or the coordinator for
your class level. If you fail to do so, you may be dropped from the class. Your instructor
will inform you of the date and time to meet with the associate chair or the coordinator
for your class.
(3) Honor Code - All students of the University of Colorado at Boulder are responsible
for knowing and adhering to the academic integrity policy of this institution (see
http://www.colorado.edu/policies/student-honor-code-policy). Violations of this policy
may include: cheating, plagiarism, aid of academic dishonesty, fabrication, lying, bribery,
and threatening behavior. For details on these violations, students must go to
http://honorcode.colorado.edu/student-information and read the links “What is a
violation?” “Standards of Academic Integrity,” “Understanding and preventing
plagiarism,” and “Citation guide and plagiarism information.” All incidents of academic
misconduct will be reported to the Honor Code Office ([email protected]; 303-7352273). Students who are found to be in violation of the academic integrity policy are
subject to both academic sanctions from the faculty member and non-academic sanctions
(including but not limited to university probation, suspension, or expulsion). For more
information see http://honorcode.colorado.edu/student-information
(4) Final Exams - Final exams are to be taken on the day determined by the university
and the department. No excuse such as family meetings, employment, or travel will grant
an exception to this. If you have three or more final exams on the same day, you are
entitled to arrange an alternative exam time for the last exam or exams scheduled on that
day. If you have two final exams scheduled to meet at the same time, you are entitled to
arrange an alternative exam time for the later course offered that day or week. To be
eligible to re-schedule a final exam, you must provide evidence of either of these
situations and make arrangements with your instructor no later than Sexta-feira October

http://www.colorado.edu/catalog/2016-17/campuspolicies#Final-Examinations

tolerated during class. All electronic devices must be turned off or silenced, and kept in
your backpacks or pockets during class. At the discretion of the instructor, you may use a
laptop computer to take class notes. Your instructor will count failure to comply with
these rules as an unexcused absence on the date of occurrence.
(6) Classroom Behavior - Students and faculty each have responsibility for maintaining
an appropriate learning environment. Those who fail to adhere to such behavioral
standards may be subject to discipline. Professional courtesy and sensitivity are
especially important with respect to individuals and topics dealing with differences of
race, color, culture, religion, creed, politics, veteran's status, sexual orientation, gender,
gender identity, gender expression, age, disability, and nationalities. Class rosters provide
the student's legal name. Your instructor will gladly honor your request to address you by
an alternate name or gender pronoun. Please advise her/him of this preference early in the
semester so that s/he may make appropriate changes to her/his records. See policies
athttp://www.colorado.edu/policies/student-classroom-and-course-related-behavior and at
http://www.colorado.edu/studentaffairs/judicialaffairs/code.html#student_code
(7) Disability Services - If you qualify for accommodations because of a disability,
please submit to your instructor a letter from Disability Services in a timely manner so
that your needs can be addressed. For exam accommodations provide your letter at least
one week prior to the exam. Disability Services determines accommodations based on
documented disabilities. You may contact Disability Services at 303-492-8671 or by email at [email protected]. If you have a temporary medical condition or injury, please
visit http://www.colorado.edu/disabilityservices/students/temporary-medical-conditions
and discuss your needs with your instructor.
(8) Religious Observances - Campus policy regarding religious observances requires
that faculty make every effort to deal reasonably and fairly with all students who, because
of religious obligations, have conflicts with scheduled exams, assignments or required
attendance. See details at: http://www.colorado.edu/policies/observance-religiousholidays-and-absences-classes-andor-exams. Please contact your Instructor during the
first two weeks of class to let her/him know of any possible conflicts in order to make the
necessary arrangements.
(9) Discrimination and Harassment - The University of Colorado Boulder (CUBoulder) is committed to maintaining a positive learning, working, and living
environment. The University of Colorado does not discriminate on the basis of race,
color, national origin, sex, age, disability, creed, religion, sexual orientation, or veteran
status in admission and access to, and treatment and employment in, its educational
programs and activities. (Regent Law, Article 10, amended 11/8/2001). CU-Boulder will
not tolerate acts of discrimination or harassment based upon Protected Classes by any
employee or student or related retaliation against any employee or student. For purposes
of this CU-Boulder policy, "Protected Classes" refers to race, color, national origin, sex,
pregnancy, age, disability, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender
expression, veteran status, political affiliation, or political philosophy. Any student, staff,
or faculty member who believes s/he has been the subject of sexual harassment or
discrimination or harassment based upon the above-mentioned Protected Classes should
contact the Office of Discrimination and Harassment (ODH) at 303-492-2127 or by email
at [email protected], or the Office of Student Conduct (OSC) at 303-492-5550 or

introductory 1000 and 2000-level language courses are designed for non-native speakers.
Fluent speakers of that language are not allowed to enroll in these courses, and can be
dropped from these courses by the department or the course instructor. Fluent speakers
should consult the department website and the catalog as well as the course instructor or
department language coordinator about their eligibility to enroll in upper-division 3000
and 4000-level language courses. Departments can exclude fluent speakers from upperdivision language courses based on course content and/or instructional resources.

their home should consult with the associate chair of the language department or the
department language coordinator about appropriate placement before enrolling in a
language course.
