Workplace ergonomics

Ergonomics is the science of designing the workplace, keeping in mind the capabilities and limitations of the worker. Poor worksite design leads to fatigued, frustrated and injured workers. By designing a job to allow for good posture, less exertion, fewer motions and better heights and reaches, the workstation becomes more efficient, improves quality of work, and reduces safety risks. If you have concerns about the way your workstation is set up, a time can be scheduled to have your area evaluated and make any adjustments as needed. Please contact Amy Wilson, benefits administrator, to schedule an evaluation.

Incomplete grade information

Please remind students that an incomplete grade is not valid unless it is supported by a Student Request for Incomplete Grade Form. The completion of the form should be initiated by the student to confirm that the student and instructor have been in communication regarding the incomplete grade policy. The form is available on MyWartburg or in the Registrar’s Office. Any incomplete grade submitted by the instructor without support of the form will be changed to any “F.” Please refer students to the incomplete grade definition in the 2018-19 academic catalog, which can be accessed online. Incomplete grades should only be issued for students who are passing the course when final grades are due. With permission from the Registrar, instructors can complete the form for a student whose circumstances prevent them from submitting the form.
