At the beginning of each term, or as soon as you become aware of a disability, we encourage you to request assistance that may be available which you need to meet your academic goals. Feel free to contact the Distance Education Office for details on accessibility options available through the Internet to enhance your learning experience. Academic Honesty Following is the Academic Honesty Statement as it appears in the NHC catalogue. New Hampshire College requires students to adhere to high standards of integrity in their academic work. Activities such as plagiarism and cheating are not acceptable and will not be condoned by the college.
Students involved in such activities are subject to serious disciplinary action.
Plagiarism is defined as the use, whether by paraphrase or direct quotation of the work, published or unpublished, of another person without full and clear acknowledgment. Cheating would include the using, giving or receiving of unauthorized assistance on quizzes, examinations, and written assignments from any source not approved by the instructor. Initial violations of academic honesty will be handled by the instructor, who has the full authority to assign an F grade to that assignment or course after a discussion of the incident with the student. A report of the incident and its disposition will be sent to the dean for review and placement in the student s personal file. A student dissatisfied with the instructor s decision may request a meeting with the department chair or center director, faculty member, and the dean to indicate the student s version of the incident.
