STUDENT AND INSTRUCTOR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
We are a society based on honor and chivalry. We expect that all participants
conduct themselves accordingly.
All students of RUSH shall have the responsibility to conduct themselves
appropriately for learning: making efforts to be prepared for their chosen
classes and being respectful to the instructors, as is deserved by those
offering their time and knowledge. Students are responsible for submitting the
Registration form to the Registrar, either at the event or by other arrangements
made by the event organizers, Regents or Registrar.
Instructors of RUSH have the responsibility to show up on time to teach their
assigned classes and to be as prepared as possible. An instructor needing to
cancel a class should contact the Regent and the Registrar as soon as possible.
CHILDREN AT RUSH
Children are a valuable asset of the Kingdom. The Royal Academy of Calontir
(RAC) is a separate college within RUSH. When instructors are available, RUSH
will offer classes specifically tailored for children (ages 5-14).
With instructor permission, regular RUSH classes are open to children. This
information will be published in the MEWS when available. Children may
accompany their parents to class, so long as they do not disturb the individual
instructor or other students in the class.
Parents are responsible for the behavior of their children at all times. If a
child disrupts a RAC class, he/she will be reunited with his/her parents. RUSH
will not provide baby-sitting service. Unsupervised children casing trouble for
the instructors, Board or to the students at a session may be asked to leave,
along with their parents.
MERCHANTS AT RUSH
RUSH must comply with local laws and regulations. On occasion, merchants may be
prohibited. Otherwise, merchants are welcome. When space is limited,
preference may be based on those that sell supplemental class materials.
Merchant fees may be required.
EVALUATION OF CLASSES
Students are encouraged to complete a Class Evaluation Form for each class they
complete. This form is confidential; you need not sign your name.
A summary of written comments received for each class is prepared to give
feedback to the instructor and give motivation for him/her to continue to share
his/her knowledge through RUSH, and assist him/her in strengths and weaknesses
to possibly improve the class. Efforts are made to distribute these to the
individual instructors sometime after the session.
There are also comment areas for the RUSH structure in general, classes you
would like to suggest and session effectiveness: all of which are valued by the
Board.
GRADING POLICY
RUSH uses a pass/fail approach to grading. The individual instructors set the
standard for each class. In general, respectful attendance in a class is all
that is necessary to receive credit for the class.
All instructors at the University have the right to refuse credit to any student
they feel has not satisfied the minimum standards of scholarship for their
classes. All students, if they can show cause, may appeal a failing grade.
Said appeal shall be processed through the office of the Provost and, if needed,
by a Board of Review.
THE ROYAL UNIVERSITY BOARD OF REVIEW
A grievance procedure is established to resolve conflict between the desires of
students and faculty and the policies and actions of the Board of Regents.
Attempts must be made to solve problems through normal communication with the
RUSH Board. A Board of Review may be convened to decide on a course of action
if normal communications fail to resolve the situation.
All Boards of Review consist of five (5) members: the Chancellor, the Provost,
and three people selected by the Kingdom Advocate. If either the Chancellor or
Provost are parties to the grievance, another RUSH Board member will be selected
using the RUSH chain of command. Either the Chancellor or the Provost may
preside.
The date (within 90 days of grievance filed) and structure of the proceedings of
the Board of Review shall be arrived at by the mutual consent of the
individual(s) who requested it and the members of the Board of Review itself.
The findings of the Board of Review shall be binding upon the Board of Regents,
within the parameters of the Royal Charter and the Bylaws of the Royal
University of Scir-Hafoc.
