ATTENDANCE POLICY:    Attendance is expected of all students. If a student is unable to attend it is his/her responsibility to contact a study partner to obtain assignments.

NOTE:  A copy of the generic syllabus is available in the division office and on the college web site at: http://iws.ccccd.edu/syllabus

Make-up Policy: Every student is responsible for any assignment given during his/her absence. A student missing one exam for a valid reason may replace the missing grade with the final exam grade. No make-up tests will be given. All students are required to take the Final exam.

Academic Ethics:

The college may initiate disciplinary proceedings against any student accused of scholastic dishonesty. Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, statements, acts or omissions related to application for enrollment or the award of a degree, and/or the submission of material as one's own work that is not one's own.Scholastic dishonesty may involve one or more of the following acts: cheating, plaigerism, collusion and/or falsifying academic records.

Cheating is the willful giving or receiving of information in an unauthorized manner during an examination, illicitly obtaining examination questions in advance, using someone else's work in advance as if it were one's own, copying  computer disks or files,  and any other dishonest  means of attempting to  fulfill the requirements of a course.

Plaigerism is the use of an author's words or ideas as if they were one's own without giving credit to the source, including but not limited to, failure to acknowledge a direct quotation. Contact the Dean of Students at 972 881-5771 for the disciplinary process and procedures or consult the CCCCD student handbook.
