“See the current Student Handbook for the College’s Attendance Policy especially as it pertains to excused absences.”
Scholastic misconduct is cause for a failing grade (for assignment and/or the class) and a letter about the incident will be placed in the student’s permanent file in the Office of Academic Affairs. The student may be asked to appear before the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee as well.
Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating on assignments or examinations, plagiarizing, misrepresenting as your own work any part of work done by another, or interfering with another student’s work.
