CSCU’s Academic Engagement Policy requires colleges to formally drop students who do NOT begin participation in each class by a certain date each term.

The Fall 2022 deadline to demonstrate active participation for 15-week classes and first 7-week classes is Friday, September 9. It is critical for you to demonstrate active participation for each class from the very beginning!

Academic engagement may include:

• Attending a class where there is an opportunity for direct interaction between you and the instructor;
• Submitting an assignment or taking a quiz/exam;
• Engaging in an interactive tutorial or computer-assisted instruction;
• Taking part in a study group assigned by the instructor or college tutor;
• Participating in an online discussion about the course material;
• Initiating contact with your instructor to ask about the academic subject studied in the course.

Academic engagement does NOT include:

• Logging into an online course without active participation
• Participating in academic advising or counseling

Faculty will take note of students that have not met the requirements for academic engagement. On Friday, September 16, the Registrar’s Office will drop students from courses in which they have not clearly demonstrated academic engagement as previously defined.

Questions about this policy may be directed to your instructor, the Academic Affairs Office, or to the Registrar’s Office.
