Auditing a Course
ATSU-CGHS does not allow auditing of courses at this time.
Grading
ATSU-CGHS programs adhere to the University grading scale .
ATSU-CGHS does not round scores. Grades are assigned by faculty members and are based on the points possible in any given course. Final grades are posted in the CampusNexus Portal 14 days after the last day of the semester block.
Incomplete Grades
ATSU-CGHS programs adhere to the University Incomplete Grade Policy .
While it is expected requirements for completion of a course are met at the end of a term, there are times when it is necessary for a student to request an incomplete grade. An incomplete grade may be issued by an instructor if a student presents in writing a rationale for circumstances beyond his or her control that prevented completing the class in a timely fashion and the student completed at least 50% of the assigned coursework at the time of the request.
At the time when an incomplete grade is requested, a student must be passing the class with a grade of C or higher. Other than in cases of emergency, this request must be received by the instructor no later than two weeks prior to the end of a term. If an instructor submits an incomplete grade, an “I” shall be entered on the final grade form. An instructor must complete an incomplete grade form on which the conditions for removal of the grade of “I” are specified and the date any missing work must be submitted is included.
In general, an incomplete grade must be removed within two weeks of the end of a term, unless the extenuating circumstances warrant a longer time. A copy of all documentation for the removal of an incomplete grade must be submitted to the department chair. It is a student’s responsibility to meet the conditions for the removal of the “I” grade. If there are additional extenuating circumstances, a student may request an extension of the “I” grade; but in no case will an extension be allowed for more than one calendar year following the end of the term in which the “I” grade was granted. If an “I” grade is not changed in one calendar year, it will automatically revert to a grade of F (excluding dissertation-only courses). Students with an outstanding grade of “I” are not eligible to graduate.
Course Attempts
Students will be allowed two attempts to complete a course where a final grade is awarded. A student who fails a course twice, or withdraws from a course after the first week of the term twice, will be dismissed from the program of study. Students may appeal a failing grade or a dismissal, according to the Academic Appeals section of the ATSU University Catalog.
Appealing a Grade
Students who wish to file an academic appeal concerning a course grade should visit the Academic Appeals policy located within the ATSU Policies section of the Catalog.
Appealing a Dismissal
Dismissal by a department may be appealed, in writing, to the Dean no later than seven calendar days following receipt of notification of the department chair’s decision of dismissal. Such notice of appeal from the student shall include a statement of reasons why dismissal is inappropriate. The Dean shall review the notice of dismissal, notice of appeal, significant facts and reasons for dismissal in light of the department’s standards of progression, academic norms and professional judgment. The Dean shall notify the program chair and student of the decision no later than seven calendar days following receipt of the student’s appeal. Such notice shall describe the basis for the decision.
The highest level of appeal within the school is the Dean or Dean’s designee. Students who wish to appeal a Dean’s decision regarding promotion or dismissal should review the Academic Appeals Policy : Promotion and/or Dismissal Decisions.
Plagiarism and Cheating
Plagiarism and Cheating Defined
Plagiarism is the presentation of another’s work as if it were one’s original and includes the presentation of one’s previously submitted work as new material. Proper and complete citation and reference, in accordance with APA style guidelines, is required of all student work. Specific examples of plagiarism and cheating include:
- Cutting and pasting or re-entering information from another’s work into a document without correct citation or attribution
- Information is attributed to a source other than the original
- Material authored by someone else is submitted as original work
- Turning in work you have previously submitted, in part or in whole, is considered self-plagiarism and is unacceptable. In instances where it may be appropriate to include prior work, the student must obtain permission from the instructor to include the prior work.
- Information is properly cited but the paraphrasing is not substantively different from the original source
- Infrequent or missing citations
Plagiarism Sanctions
All assignments submitted for a grade are subject to review for plagiarism. The consequences of plagiarism vary based on whether the incident is a first, second, or third occurrence.
First occurrence
The first instance of plagiarism is generally believed to result from a lack of familiarity and inexperience using APA guidelines and is perceived as a misuse of sources.
The sanctions for a first offense generally are, but not limited to:
- Required completion of the University Writing Center’s Proper use of Resources tutorial
- A grade of zero on the assignment
- Resubmission of the assignment for a reduced grade
- Students who choose not to participate in the tutorial or fail to complete the tutorial will receive a grade of zero on the assignment
Second occurrence
The second occurrence of plagiarism is a more serious academic offense and is not attributed to naiveté, ignorance of guidelines, or a misunderstanding of what constitutes acceptable graduate scholarship at ATSU.
The sanction for a second plagiarism offense is, but is not limited, to:
- A grade of F in the course
Third occurrence
The third occurrence of plagiarism is seen as a student’s chronic inability or refusal to produce acceptable graduate-level scholarship.
The sanction for a third plagiarism offense is, but is not limited, to:
- Expulsion from the university
Academic Probation
If a student fails to meet the 3.0 cumulative GPA, he or she will be placed on academic probation. There are two phases of academic probation.
Phase I Academic Probation:
- Student is limited to a maximum of two courses per semester block.
- Student’s cumulative GPA must be a 3.0 or above at the end of the probationary semester.
- If a student receives a grade of W during the probationary semester, he or she automatically fails to meet the requirements of probation.
If a student meets the requirements of the probationary period, he or she is removed from academic probation and returned to good academic standing. ATSU-CGHS students in poor academic standing when withdrawing from all courses in a semester block are required to petition the program chair for re-entry.
Phase II Petition Academic Probation:
If a student fails to meet the requirements of Phase I Academic Probation, Phase II is not automatically granted. Requirements for this phase include:
- Student must petition the department chair or program chair in writing within 5 days of notification.
- Student is limited to two courses per block.
- If a student receives a grade of W during the probationary semester, he or she automatically fails to meet the requirements of probation.
- Student’s cumulative GPA must be a 3.0 or higher at the end of the probationary semester.
- Students must meet any additional criteria outlined by a program chair during the Phase II academic probation term.
If a student meets the requirements of the probationary period, the student returns to good academic standing.
Students on Phase I probation who do not meet probation requirements and fail to request Phase II probation will be administratively withdrawn from a program of study. Students denied Phase II probation or who fail to meet requirements on Phase II probation may be dismissed from a program of study.
Continuous Enrollment
ATSU-CGHS students who are finished with all coursework and completing culmination projects (practicum, dissertation, applied research project, doctoral research project, etc.) must maintain continuous enrollment until completion of all graduation requirements. Students will be assessed a continuous enrollment charge for each semester block that the student maintains enrollment until all degree requirements are completed. More information on the University’s continuous enrollment process may be found under the Enrollment Status Definitions within the ATSU Policy section.
Course(s) or Program of Study Withdrawal
Students who have been inactive one semester may resume their program of study by contacting their Academic Advisor and registering for courses prior to the registration deadline.
ATSU-CGHS students who are not registered for courses in a semester are considered in Incomplete-Withdraw status and must register for courses in the following semester or be administratively withdrawn from the program. In most instances, students withdrawn from ATSU, regardless of the reason, must apply for re-admission and fall under the most recent academic catalog and admission requirements.
ATSU-CGHS students in poor academic standing when withdrawing from all courses in a semester block are required to petition the program chair for re-entry.
For the specific policy on grades awarded for withdrawal, please see the Withdrawal from School section of the Matriculated Student Policies .
Graduation Requirements
A degree is awarded at the end of the semester following completion of requirements. Attending commencement is not required but highly recommended. Students who only have one registered block of coursework to complete may participate in the graduation ceremony under the following guidelines:
- Students who only have one registered block of coursework to complete
- Dissertation Only Students (DHA & DHEd): The student has obtained committee approval of Dissertation Chapter 4

Degree Completion
Students at ATSU-CGHS are expected to complete a degree in a program’s standard plan of study. Students will have a maximum degree completion timeline of five years for a master’s program and seven years for a doctoral program from the time of initial enrollment. Failure to complete a degree program in the time allowed may negate some or all previously earned degree credits.
Academic Standards, Guidelines, and Requirements
Academic Standing
To maintain good academic standing, students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA. Academic standing is evaluated after the Fall and Spring semesters.
Participation in Courses
Please see the ATSU Policies section of this catalog for the University policy on student absences. In addition to the University policy, ATSU-CGHS requires the following:
As a student in an online program, it is expected you participate in all class activities every week. The academic week is from 12:00 AM Arizona time Monday morning through 11:59 PM Arizona time the following Sunday. Participation is defined as having completed one or more of the activities required in any week. These include:
- Participate in the class discussion
- Submit a paper
- Complete a quiz or examination
- Complete some other assignment as presented in the course syllabus
If a student does not complete any activities during the first week of class, he/she will be administratively withdrawn.
Textbooks
The booklist is posted on the ATSU portal six weeks prior to the start of a semester block. Students should order books from this list only for the new semester block.
It is a requirement that students have all the required books on the first day of class. Students may purchase books from any bookstore.
Course Access
Students are granted Canvas course access one week prior to the first day of class.
Course Cancellation
The institution has the right to cancel a course. Any student enrolled prior to a course cancellation will receive a full refund of tuition paid.
Inclement Weather Policy
In the event a major weather occurrence prevents a student from accessing a class, instructors will work with the student to set reasonable accommodations to accept assignments after a due date. Instructors may request documentation from a student if a weather occurrence is not widespread.
Late Assignment Policy
Late work is not accepted without the prior approval of your instructor. Failure to obtain approval before the due date may result in a zero for the assignment.
In the event you are unable to submit work to Canvas by the deadline, you must:
- notify your instructor through the Canvas messaging system and attach your assignment, and
- open a ticket with IT by calling 1-866-626-2200. Be sure to keep the ticket number as documentation the issue has been reported.
Once the IT issue has been resolved, you should then submit your work through Canvas for grading.
Reuse of Work (Self-Plagiarism) Policy
When a student withdraws or fails a class and then retakes it, all previously submitted work, in part or in whole, may not be resubmitted. The consequences of using previously submitted work vary based on whether the incident is the first or second occurrence.
First Occurrence
A first instance of using previously submitted work is generally believed to be due to a lack of familiarity with this policy. The possible sanctions for the first occurrence are, but are not limited to:
- A grade of zero for the assignment.
- The program chair may allow the student to revise the assignment within 7 business days of notification for a grade up to 80% of the possible points.
Second Occurrence
A second instance of using previously submitted work is generally believed to be purposeful. The sanction for the second occurrence is, but is not limited to:
- A grade of F for the course.
Third Occurrence
A third instance of using previously submitted work is viewed as the student’s refusal to follow this policy. The sanction for the third occurrence is, but is not limited to:
- Dismissal from the university.
Program Cancellation
Should the institution cancel a program, currently enrolled students are permitted to complete a program before it is discontinued. No new students are permitted to enroll in a program the institution has canceled.
