Do not assume an instructor will drop you from a course if you quit attending class. University regulations specify several conditions for dropping a class and the relevant cutoff dates. These are covered on page 155 of the University Catalog. If you intend to drop a course, do it right away, or you may miss a critical cutoff date. CSU, Chico has a university brochure that outlines CSU s position.
Faculty expect students to maintain a high standard of academic integrity.
When faculty suspect students of cheating, they may bring formal charges, and a pretty unpleasant process is set in motion. If charges are proved, the consequences are severe, ranging from failure in an individual course to expulsion from the University and denial of a degree. The Coordinator for Student Judicial Affairs deals directly with cases of academic dishonesty.
