Plagiarism and Misrepresentation of Work
No student will represent the work of others as his or her own. Themes, essays, term papers, tests, presentations and other similar assignments must be the work of the student submitting them. When direct quotations are used, they must be indicated with quotation marks and when the ideas of another are incorporated, they must be appropriately cited.
No student will submit the same assignment for two courses without the prior consent of the instructor.

Disruptive Behavior Policy
Behavior which disrupts the teaching–learning process during class or class related activities will not be tolerated. This includes but is not limited to belligerent, abusive, profane, distracting and/or threatening behavior. More subtle forms of behavior may also negatively impact the teaching-learning process. Possible examples (as deemed appropriate by each individual instructor as they establish their own unique learning environments) are listed in Appendix A of this code and include but are not limited to: inappropriate attire, eating during class time, and unwillingness to participate in educational activities, in some cases, may significantly impact the instructor’s ability to conduct the class. A student who fails to respond to reasonable faculty direction regarding classroom behavior and/or behavior while participating in classroom activities may be dismissed from class.
A student who is dismissed is entitled to due process and will be afforded such rights (See Procedures for Adjudicating Alleged Academic Conduct Infractions) as soon as possible following dismissal. If found in violation, a student may be administratively withdrawn and may receive a grade of WF.
