SHC Course Policies

Cura Personalis

Cura personalis—the Jesuit concept of care for the whole person in mind, body, and spirit—is central to our philosophy of education, student support, and community life at Spring Hill College. We are a diverse community of learners with different backgrounds, interests, and challenges. Campus support services are designed to care for all students facing a range of needs from academic to personal. Please feel free to reach out to me, as the instructor of this course, for help making the connections that might best support you.

Academic Accommodations

Students with a documented disability wishing to utilize academic accommodations should contact the Career & Academic Success & Advising by calling 251-380-3470 or emailing casa@shc.edu as soon as possible so that warranted accommodations can be arranged.

BadgerWay

Spring Hill lives its mission of caring for the whole student through BadgerWay–the system we use to connect students with campus resources. A BadgerWay referral can be submitted by a faculty member, staff member, or fellow student; a staff member will then follow up to assist with the timely connection to appropriate resources.

Tutoring

SHC Tutoring prioritizes academic success and a supportive learning atmosphere by providing on-campus peer tutoring covering diverse subjects and access to Tutor.com, a leading online tutoring platform for on-demand assistance, anytime, anywhere.

Counseling and Wellness Services

Located on the ground floor of the LAC next to Public Safety, Counseling and Wellness Services provides a variety of supports for students. You can contact them at counseling@shc.edu or book an appointment below.

Badger Health Clinic

The Badger Health Clinic is located directly across from campus at 4300 Old Shell Road, Mobile, AL 36608. Their hours are M-F 8:30-4:30. To set up an appointment, you can call (251) 634-5489 or book an appointment below.

Academic Dishonesty

Dishonesty of any kind in academic work (daily quizzes, examinations, written assignments, projects or presentations, etc.) renders a student subject to disciplinary action, including possible dismissal from the College.

Academic dishonesty includes but is not limited to: 

• Plagiarism — that is, representation of thoughts or passages from another author as one’s own work; 
• Collusion — that is, collaboration with another in the preparation of written or presented work; 
• Cheating — that is, giving or receiving or soliciting information from another student during a test or examination; 
• Recycling — that is, turning in work that had already been completed and turned in for another class without the express permission of the current instructor;   
• Using illicit materials in an examination or quiz — that is, unless an instructor stipulates to the contrary, no one will sit for an examination (whether in person or online) with textbooks, notes, digital devices, or any other disallowed materials. All members of the faculty are expected to make every possible effort to discourage all such practices. 
• Any and all use of generative Artificial Intelligence on graded academic work without the explicit permission of the instructor. Any work created in part or in whole using generative AI should be credited and cited as such.
