Students are expected to uphold the school s standard of conduct relating to academic honesty. Students assume full responsibility for the content and integrity of the academic work they submit. The guiding principle of academic integrity shall be that a student s submitted work, examinations, reports, and projects must be that of the student s own work. Students shall be guilty of violating the honor code if they: 1. Represent the work of others as their own. 2. Use or obtain unauthorized assistance in any academic work. 3. Give unauthorized assistance to other students. 4. Modify, without instructor approval, an examination, paper, record, or report for the purpose of obtaining additional credit. 5. Misrepresent the content of submitted work. Administrative Procedure Number: 404.05 Cheating in any form (including using unauthorized materials, information, or study aids in any academic exercise; plagiarism; falsification of records; unauthorized possession of examinations; any and all other actions that may improperly affect the evaluation of a student's academic performance or achievement; and assisting others in any such act) is forbidden. An instructor who has proof that a student is guilty of cheating may take appropriate action up to and including assigning the student a grade of "F" for the course and suspending the student from class. A description of the incident and the action taken will be reported through the dean to the Vice Chancellor for Instruction and placed in the student's file in the Office of Admissions and Records. The student may appeal either the finding of cheating or the penalty, or both, as described in Administrative Procedure No. 404.06, Academic Appeal Procedure. Cheating in this class: Cheating will not be tolerated. If you are cheating on one occasion, you will receive an F for the whole project s work (not limited to that one assignment). If found cheating on a second occasion, you will be asked to drop the class. If the cheating occurs after the drop date, or if you choose not to drop, you will receive an F for this class. The registered student in the class is the only one who should log-in to the course. If it is determined that someone other than the registered student is logging in, this will be considered cheating and reasonable cause for an F in the course. CAMPUS SUPPORT SERVICES: Phillips Community College of the University of Arkansas provides student support services that assist students in achieving their educational objective. Those services include advising, financial aid, counseling and guidance, and safety and security. ADA POLICY: Scott Post is the Vice Chancellor for Student Services and serves as the ADA Compliance Officer. As an open enrollment college, PCCUA strives to meet the needs of students with self-disclosed disabilities who wish to advance their education. A student with a disability must meet with the campus Disabilities Coordinator to obtain reasonable accommodations. Students who have met with the Coordinator are more likely to experience success in a positive learning environment. If you have a disability please contact the Student Disabilities Coordinator for your campus. Revised January, 2016 Page 11

Attendance Policy: Revised January, 2016 Page 12

STUDENT S RESPONSIBILITY PERTAINING TO ATTENDANCE It is the student s responsibility to attend class regularly. If the student misses a class or classes, it is the student s responsibility to contact the Instructor and check their PCCUA student email account for assignments and materials covered in class. If no contact is made with the Instructor - the student may receive an EW for excessive absences and no class participation. Students are expected to remain in class for the time specified. Leaving early on coming in late will result in an absence. Note: No exceptions will be made for doctor s appointments for self or children, nor for court dates. Class Meeting 2 Times a Week Students are permitted four (4) absences. When you have missed 5 classes, you will receive an EW or F and you may not return to class. The instructor will warn a student in danger of becoming excessively absent by sending a warning notice to the student s advisor so that the student can be contacted by either phone or in writing. If a student is unable to attend a class regularly, regardless of the reason or circumstances, he/she should withdraw from that class before an EW or F is assigned. Exceptions to this attendance rule may be based on individual circumstances and the instructor s assessment of the student s ability to finish course requirements. The final decision concerning absences is left to the instructor s discretion. A student s attendance will affect their grade in this course. NOTE: No exceptions will be made for doctor s appointments for self or children nor for court dates PUNCTUALITY There are no tardies students are expected to arrive at their classrooms prior to the beginning of classroom activities. Any student entering the classroom after the class roll has been taken will be considered absent. There is one exception to this rule: Students who have been held over by their instructor.
