A third absence will result in withdrawal from the course. No make-up is allowed. Extra credit is not required, nor should be expected. All students are expected to adhere to high standard of integrity in their academic work. Activities such as plagiarism and cheating are not acceptable to 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Plagiarism is defined as the use, whether by paraphrase or direct quotation, of the published or unpublished work of another person without full and clear acknowledgment. Cheating includes the giving or receiving of unauthorized assistance on quizzes, examinations, or written assignments from any source not approved by the instructor. Initial violation of academic honesty will be handled by the instructor, who has the full authority to assign a failing grade to that assignment or course after a discussion of the incident with the student. A report of the incident and its deposition will be sent to the academic dean for review and placement in a student personnel file. A student dissatisfied with the instructors' decision may request a meeting with the department chair or center director, faculty member, and the academic dean to indicate the students' version of the incident.
