Course Description (from catalog)
This course introduces you to ophthalmology, including the role, duties and responsibilities of the orthoptist.
Ethics, professional associations and certification, and patient privacy and confidentiality (HIPAA) will be
discussed. You will be introduced to the structure and function of the human visual system including the
globe, orbit, ocular adnexa, extraocular muscles, conjunctiva, cornea, iris, pupil, angle structures, ciliary
body, crystalline lens, vitreous, retina, optic disc, optic nerve, visual pathway and neuro-anatomy. Binocular
vision, vision development and abnormalities such as amblyopia, neurologic control of eye movements and
abnormalities will be discussed. You will learn and practice the elements and techniques of a basic
sensorimotor evaluation, including evaluation of sensory status and measurement of eye alignment and eye
movements. This course will also include completion of a programmed text in medical terminology.

ASSIGNMENTS: All students are expected to turn in assignments by the DUE dates. Every assignment for this class
must be completed in order to receive a final grade for the course. It is your responsibility to contact the course
instructor in advance of the due date, if you are struggling with an assignment or if you need an extension.
EXCUSED ABSENCES: Make up course requirements (exams, quizzes, projects, etc) must be rescheduled at a mutually
convenient time. It is your responsibility to arrange a make-up schedule with the course instructor IN ADVANCE.
UNEXCUSED ABSENCES: make-up course requirements that were missed must be completed by the student within
three (3) school days of their original date. If not completed within this time frame, the total point value of the course
requirement is forfeited.
INCOMPLETE GRADES: “A grade of incomplete is given only when unusual circumstances deem it appropriate.
Ordinarily, such circumstances would involve matters that are not wholly within a student’s control, such as illness. If you
wish to receive an incomplete grade you must complete a Petition for Incomplete Grade form
(available online http://minerva.stkate.edu/RecOffFrms.nsf/Incomp4?OpenForm )
no later than the last day of the term in which course requirements are due. You must be making satisfactory progress
in the course and you must have completed 75% of the course at the time the petition is filed. Incompletes are awarded
at the instructor’s discretion. If granted, the normal deadline for completion of work is no more than eight weeks after
the last day of classes in the session or sub-session in which the course is offered. The instructor may establish a due
date after the normal deadline if you request it and special circumstances warrant it. The instructor will submit an
alternate grade that will automatically be recorded if you do not complete the requirements for the course by the
deadline. If you complete the course requirements in the time allotted, the instructor must submit the final grade by
the deadline. Extensions to the due date originally agreed to by you and your instructor must be approved by the
appropriate academic dean.” (Petition for an Incomplete Grade, from St. Catherine University Catalog).

ATTENDANCE
St. Catherine University defines attendance as participating in the faculty and student interaction required
by the course. Regular attendance is expected of all students. Students are expected to arrive at class on
time and stay for the duration of the class. Students, whether present or not, are responsible for in–class
content and class assignments (see Assignments section). Absences for any reason will be taken into account
in the evaluation of the student’s work.
If you cannot get to class (e.g. illness, car won’t start, relative dies), contact the instructor before class
begins. Instructors must be informed about any absence before class or it will be unexcused.
Students who do not attend class on the first day of class will be withdrawn from the course by the
Registrar’s Office. Even if the student does not attend class meetings, the student remains financially
responsible for paying tuition for the course, up to the date of formal withdrawal. The deadlines for adding,
dropping and withdrawing from a course are found on the Academic Calendar (on Kateway).
ACCOMODATIONS
Saint Catherine University is committed to equal access for all and recognizes that disability is an aspect of
diversity. The University’s goal is to create learning environments that are usable, equitable, inclusive and
welcoming. If there are aspects of the instruction or design of this course that result in barriers to the
learning environment, accurate assessment or your achievement, please contact the Resources for
Disabilities office as soon as possible. Access Consultants can be reached in the O’Neill Center at 651-6908160 to discuss academic adjustments or accommodations.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY
The mission of St. Catherine University provides for excellence in education through the search for truth
and justice. In accordance with the mission, the University expects all students and faculty to uphold the
highest standards of academic integrity, and acts of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. Academic
dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, the following examples of conduct:
 violating the academic rights of another student;
 cheating on assignments or exams, including the use of crib notes or other unauthorized materials;
 submitting papers or assignments written by another person (student, commercial agency, etc);
 copying from another student's paper;
 stealing copies of exams or answer sheets;
 conveying test items to other students;
 plagiarizing on papers and other assignments;
 consenting to have one's work used by another student as her/his own;
 falsely reporting information or misrepresenting actions in clinical or classroom laboratories;
 depriving other students of necessary course materials by stealing books, periodicals or other
materials from the library, media center, labs, etc.;
 submitting the same paper, or substantially similar papers, to meet the requirements of more than
one course without approval of the appropriate instructors;
 interfering in a harmful way with another student's work, such as sabotaging another student's
laboratory experiment or entering or deleting data in another student's computer account or
 unlawfully duplicating copyrighted materials.
CONDUCT AND ACADEMIC INTEGRITY PLEDGE
Each student is expected to adhere to all Orthoptic Program Student Policies and Procedures including the
following Conduct and Academic Integrity Pledge.
I, _______________________________________________________, pledge to uphold the ideals of
St. Catherine University that learning be pursued in a spirit of excellence, life be lived with a commitment to
values of justice and caring, and leadership be carried out appropriately, actively and positively. Having read
the Orthoptic Ethics Statement and the Policy on Academic Integrity, I hold myself bound to respect and
obey it in all matters of personal conduct and academic integrity.
(Students will be asked to sign this learning contract at the beginning of the Orthoptic Program to indicate
their acceptance of these expectations.)
REAFFIRMATION OF CONDUCT AND ACADEMIC INTEGRITY PLEDGE
I re-affirm the St. Catherine University Orthoptic Program Conduct and Academic Integrity Pledge for this
evaluation activity.
Student signature ______________________________________________
Date ______________
(This Reaffirmation of Conduct and Academic Integrity Pledge will be included on all exams, tests and
written assignments, with the student’s signature and date, indicating their adherence to this pledge.)
When academic dishonesty is alleged, the faculty member will immediately discuss with the student the
grounds for suspicion and educate the student about the academic integrity policy and the consequences for
violating the policy. If the faculty member determines that a violation has occurred, she/he will check with
the Academic Affairs Office on her/his campus to inquire if the student has been reported previously for
violations of the Academic Integrity Policy. The Academic Affairs Office maintains a database of past
offenses; however, these notations do not become a part of a student's permanent academic record unless
they are the basis for expulsion from the University. The faculty member will forward a description of the
violation, a copy of the evidence, and a proposed sanction to the Academic Affairs Office.
The Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Bonnie LaDuca, as well as the faculty member's department chair
or program director, will be available to consult with the faculty member regarding an appropriate sanction,
based in part on the severity of the infraction and whether the student had a prior history of such
offenses. Faculty-determined sanctions will generally involve a reduced grade or zero credit on the
assignment, test, or project or a reduced or failing grade in the course. For very serious offenses, the
department chair or program director may impose the penalty of dismissal from the student's academic
program. For the most serious offenses, the academic dean or her/his designee may impose the penalty of
academic suspension or expulsion from the University.
For a more detailed explanation of the Academic Integrity Policy, consult the online Le Guide: Student Code
of Conduct and Community Expectations. Pay particular attention to sections III. Code of Conduct, IV.
Sanctions resulting from Code violations, and VIII. Academic Integrity. Faculty members can find additional
guidelines on the Academic Affairs website.
