麻豆视频

This page is a summary for students of various policies and services listed in the 麻豆视频 General Catalog. Revised January 2023 per Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs and Institutional Planning.

• Academic Honesty. The college believes that the pursuit of knowledge requires honesty. Students are expected to act appropriately and deal honestly in all aspects of their interactions with the college and their academic work. The college will not tolerate dishonest acts such as copying the work of another; using unauthorized help, books, notes, or electronic devices on examinations or projects; or intentionally representing the work of another as one鈥檚 own without proper reference (plagiarism). The consequences of academic dishonesty may vary according to circumstances. Actions that could be taken include, but are not limited to, the following: a failing grade for the work involved, failure in the course, or removal from the course. For additional information, please read 鈥淎cademic Honesty鈥� in the General Catalog.
• Accommodations for Students with Disabilities. The college strives to provide an equal educational opportunity to all in compliance with college policy and federal law.  In order for us to help you meet your educational goals and help you move toward success as a student at 麻豆视频, students requesting services must self-identify by contacting the Office of Disability Services in 120 Stone Hall or visiting the Disability Services web pages for more information.

Each course syllabus will describe the attendance requirements for the course, which may be stricter than above, including any permitted absences.

• Civility.  The College defines 鈥渃ivility鈥� as respect for others, courtesy, civil exchange of ideas, and human interactions that create a positive environment in which to learn.  All members of the College community are expected to adhere to the Five Core Values, most notably Integrity and Respect. The College will set the tone for such practice using the following guidelines, and expects students to also follow these guidelines: Respect for the work and ideas of all persons; courteous oral, written, and nonverbal discourse (in personal and electronic forms); honest interactions and exchanges; fair and just treatment; open professional communications; recognition and respect for diversity; social responsibility: tolerance of differing points of view; zero tolerance for any forms of cyber stalking, cyber bullying, or cyber sexual harassment, especially as related to social networking while engaged in college-related activities or in courses online.
• Classroom Conduct. Faculty and students at 麻豆视频 鈥� on the main campus or off-campus locations, including online 鈥� have the right to an instructional environment that is conducive to study, thought, and full concentration on study topics. Student behavior that threatens such an environment and disrupts learning and teaching activities 鈥� including unauthorized use of technology (e.g., cell phones, computers, hand-held devices) 鈥� will not be tolerated and will be subject to disciplinary actions, including removal from a course or program or denial of admission to a course or a program.
