For Faculty

The Office of the Provost website contains important information about academic policy at GW. This site includes both the Faculty Code and the Faculty Handbook. The GW Bulletin is effectively a contract between the students and the university/college and contains university and CPS academic policies.

CPS follows the University Academic Integrity policy. We have prepared a fact sheet (PDF) to assist you with interpreting and implementing the policy.

The Academic Calendar lists all the holidays observed by the University each semester. The administration has accepted a resolution of the Faculty Senate regarding the accommodation of the obligations of religiously observant students and faculty.

The CPS Incomplete policy is in the GW Bulletin. Incompletes are only appropriate when students, for reasons beyond their control, are unable to complete the coursework and prior performance and class attendance have been satisfactory. If you wish to grant an Incomplete you must first obtain the approval of your program director. Please document your Incomplete with an Incomplete Contract (PDF) and submit a copy signed by you and the student to [email protected] (GSPM instructors should submit them to [email protected]) so we can track progress.
