The University insists on regular attendance so that the student may benefit from a full-time and continuous instructional program. All excused absences must be obtained through the Academic Dean's office. Students must sign a daily attendance sheet, which verifies their presence each class period. Such behavior deprives the student involved of the desired education and development of an appropriate value system. It is extremely unfair to other students, and it severely diminishes the value and integrity of the University degree.
Plagiarism occurs whenever another's work is submitted as one's own.
This includes the use of published author's ideas and words without proper attribution or documentation. It also includes the copying of term papers, homework, case reports, computer programs, spreadsheets, and any other course assignments which are submitted for course credit as the students own effort. Cheating occurs whenever an individual obtains information from an unauthorized source in a testing situation. Plagiarism or cheating will result in failure of the course and referral to the Academic Dean's office. There will be no eating or drinking in class.
