terms and conditions
As a participant in Aim4Excellence™ I have agreed to the following terms
and conditions:
á I understand that I have eight weeks (56 days) to complete
each module from the time I first log on to that module. Should I fail to
complete a module within eight weeks of initial login, I am aware that I
will need to re-register and repay for that module in order to
complete it.
á I understand that in order to receive a certificate
of completion for a module I must attain a score of 70% or higher on the
Evidence of Learning pieces (assignments) I submit. Should I fail to attain a
score of 70%, I am aware that I will need to re-register and repay
for that module in order to receive a certificate of completion.
á I understand that the content of Aim4Excellence™ is
the property of the McCormick Center for Early Childhood
Leadership. In compliance with copyright
law, I agree not to share, duplicate, or alter the content of Aim4Excellence™
without the expressed written permission of the McCormick Center for
Early Childhood Leadership at National-Louis University.
á Should circumstances arise that prevent me from
beginning one or more modules for which I have registered, I understand that I
may request in writing a refund of 50% of the module registration fee. I further understand that no refunds
will be granted for modules which I have started.
á ACADEMIC HONESTY: I understand that all work
submitted must be my own. I understand that I may, of course, receive aid, but
the thinking and writing must be mine. Plagiarism is a violation of academic
standards and can result in failure of the module and (in the case of students
taking the modules for college credit) expulsion from the University. I
understand that it is my responsibility to familiarize myself with the Policy on Academic Honesty in the
Student Handbook. Any material taken from sources must be
cited. I am fully aware that any
substantial copying of material (as available on the Internet or other sources)
and inserted into my work, even if cited, is unacceptable, and will adversely
affect my score.

POLICY: National-Louis University seeks
to ensure that its programs are accessible to all persons. Students in need of
special assistance or an accommodation regarding any of the course requirements
as outlined in the syllabus, the course objectives and/or course evaluation and
assessment criteria, are advised to notify the McCormick Center for Early Childhood Leadership before
beginning a module. The student and an Aim4Excellence™ team member will discuss
a resolution of the issue, which may or may not include an appropriate
referral (e.g., a Writing Specialist; the Academic Accommodations Coordinator
at the Office of Diversity, Access and Equity; or the Office of Student
Affairs). Confidentiality will be maintained regarding a student's special
needs.
