Handbook (Section 1, pp. 13-15). Cheating and plagiarism will result in a score of zero on that particular test or assignment and thus lowering of grade in the course.
Cheating is defined as the fraudulent or deceptive taking, giving, or presenting of any information or material with the intent of aiding oneself or another on any academic work which is considered in any way in the determination of a course grade.
Plagiarism is the intentional or unintentional act of submitting the work of another as one's own. It includes the submission of the complete or partial work, or of the words, ideas, or format of another, published or unpublished, without appropriate reference and source credit. It includes employing or permitting another person to produce, alter, or revise material which the student submits as his or her own. If the student has any uncertainty regarding plagiarism in the submission of any material to his or her instructor, he or she should discuss the matter with the instructor prior to submission of the material.
Forgery is falsely recording the signature of an advisor, instructor, or any university official on any official University academic document.
Students are expected to attend the entire period of each class throughout the semester. The university attendance policy will be followed:
Absence(s) from class(es) because of university-patriotic duty or university-sponsored academic class activities must be reported to the Vice President for Student Success and Enrollment Management two (2) weeks prior to the date of the absence. The Vice President for Student Affairs will inform faculty members BEFORE the student's absence from class(es) in these cases.
In order for a class absence to be excused, the student must submit documentation of the absence(s) to the Vice President for Student Affairs within one week of the absence(s).
The number of excused absences may not exceed the number of class meetings during one full week of class(es) during a semester, or two class meetings during one full week of classes during the summer session. Absences in excess of the allowed number of excused absences will be considered unexcused.
The number of unexcused absences per semester or summer session may not exceed the number of class meetings during one full week of class. For each unexcused absence over the maximum number allowed, the instructor may lower the course grade one full grade level.
