Last Day to Drop with a “w” is October 16, 2009. NO EXCEPTIONS!

To drop this class, you need to do the following:
1. Attain a Drop/Add sheet from the registrar’s office;
2. Turn in the completed form to the office of Admission and Records 972-881-5710 on or prior to the drop deadline date;
3. All students will receive an F if they do not finish this class and do not withdraw on or prior to the drop deadline date.
4.   Make sure your six course limit is satisfied.

You may repeat this course only once after receiving a grade, including W. If you drop the course before the census date, September 8, 2009, you will not be penalized in regard to the repeat policy. If you drop the class after the census date, a grade of W will be posted to your transcript and count as one attempt toward the repeat policy.

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 District 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.

Collusion is intentionally aiding or attempting to aid another student in an act of scholastic dishonesty, including but not limited to, providing a paper or project to another student; providing an inappropriate level of assistance; communicating answers to a classmate during an examination; removing tests or answer sheets from a test site, and allowing a classmate to copy answers.

Contact the Dean of Students at 972 881-5771 for the disciplinary process and procedures or consult the CCCCD student handbook.
