Academic Honesty/Integrity and Consequences

This policy is part of the Student Handbook.

Sexual and Gender-based Misconduct, Title IX Statement

In accordance with Title IX and other local, state, and federal laws, Northland College is committed to providing an environment free of all forms of discrimination, including sex and gender-based discrimination. This includes, but is not limited to, sexual violence, sexual harassment, dating violence, and stalking. If you or someone you know has been affected or is currently being affected by these types of behaviors that are limiting their ability to participate in this course or any other Northland College-sponsored program or activity, please know that there are options, and resources are available. I am not a confidential resource. As a faculty member, I am considered a mandatory reporter and am required to report incidents of sex and gender-based discrimination and sexual misconduct to the Title IX coordinator, as we want to ensure that you are connected with the campus support resources offered by the College. You can also make a report by contacting the Title IX coordinator directly. To learn more, please visit the Northland College Title IX page.

College Accommodations Statement

Northland College is committed to creating an inclusive learning environment that meets the needs of its diverse student body. If you anticipate or experience any barriers to learning in this course, please contact me to discuss your concerns and possible solutions. If you have a disability, or think you may have a disability, I encourage you to meet with the College’s accessibility and student success coordinator, who may be reached at djonesilsley@northland.edu or 715-682-1280. The accessibility and student success coordinator can help you determine if you should request official accommodations for this course and guide you through the process.

The accessibility and student success coordinator ensures that support for students with disabilities is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, with the amendments of 2008, with sections 504 and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and with other applicable laws. You may find additional information about the College’s accommodations services on MyNorthland via this link.

Tutoring and Academic Coaching Services Statement

Peer tutoring is available free of charge for courses in biology, chemistry, climate science, geographic information systems (GIS), math, and physics. Writing tutors are also available to help with writing assignments in any discipline. For questions, contact tutoring@northland.edu.

If you’d like to be more successful in your classes, you may make an appointment to meet with an academic coach. Academic coaches can help with motivation, time management, study skills, communicating with professors, setting up study groups, accessing tutors, reading comprehension, and writing papers. Coaches can also connect you with other helpful resources on campus. To make an appointment with an academic coach, reach out to Donna Jones-Ilsley at djonesilsley@northland.edu or Noah Goyke at ngoyke@northland.edu.
