Overview of Policies for Stern Courses
The set of default policies below apply to all Stern degree programs - undergraduate, full-time MBA, part-time MBA, and EMBA.
Students were told to assume the defaults are in force unless you tell them otherwise. These default policies are designed to make your life easier. Adopt them or not as you wish (for example, you may want to be more lenient with Langone Program students on attendance). But whatever you decide to do, be sure to articulate your policies clearly in your syllabus and apply them consistently.
The following are policies students should assume are in force in their Stern courses, unless their instructors explicitly establish alternate policies
Laptops, Cell Phones, Smartphones, Recorders, & Other Electronic Devices
Attendance
Required and part of grade. Faculty will excuse absences only in the case of documented serious illness, family emergency, religious observance, or civic obligation. If you will miss class for religious observance or civic obligation, you must inform your instructor no later than the first week of class. Recruiting activities and business trips are not acceptable reasons for absence from class. If a student is absent from the first day of an intensive course, the instructor may request that the student be removed from the course
Arriving Late, Leaving Early, Coming & Going
Students are expected to arrive to class on time and stay to the end of the class period. Arriving late or leaving class early will have impact on the course grade. Students may enter class late only if given permission by the instructor and can do so without disrupting the class (note that instructors are not obliged to admit late students or readmit students who leave class or may choose to admit them only at specific times).
Late Submission of Assignments
Late assignments will either not be accepted or will incur a grade penalty unless due to documented serious illness or family emergency. Instructors will make exceptions to this policy for reasons of religious observance or civic obligation only when the assignment cannot reasonably be completed prior to the due date and the student makes arrangements for late submission with the instructor in advance.
General Behavior
Students will conduct themselves with respect and professionalism toward faculty, students, and others present in class and will follow the rules laid down by the instructor for classroom behavior. Students who fail to do so may be asked to leave the classroom (Stern Code of Conduct).
Collaboration on Graded Assignments
Students may not work together on graded assignment unless the instructor gives express permission (Stern Code of Conduct).
