Classroom Conduct:

 

Cell phone use:  Students are not to have a cell phone out during class, and the ringer is to be turned off or to vibrate.

 

Failure to comply with lawful direction of a classroom instructor is a disruption for all students enrolled in the class.  Cheating violations include, but are not limited to: (1)obtaining an examination, classroom activity, or laboratory exercise by stealing or collusion; (2) discovering the content of an examination, classroom activity, laboratory exercise, or homework assignment before it is given; (3) using an unauthorized source of information during an examination, classroom activity, laboratory exercise, or homework assignment; (4) entering an office of building to obtain unfair advantage; (5) taking an examination for another person; (6) completing a classroom activity, laboratory exercise, homework assignment, or research paper for another person; (7) altering grade records; (8) using any unauthorized form of electronic communication device during an examination, classroom activity, or laboratory exercise; (9) Plagiarism.  Plagiarism is the using, stating, offering, or reporting as one’s own, an idea, expression, or production of another person without proper credit.

 

Disciplinary actions for cheating in a course are at the discretion of the individual instructor.  The instructor of that course will file a report with the Dean of Students when a student is caught cheating in the course, whether it be a workforce or academic course.  The report shall include the course, instructor, student’s name, and the type of cheating involved.  Students who are reported as cheating to the Dean of Students more than once shall be disciplined by the Dean.  The Dean will notify all involved parties within fourteen days of any action taken.

 

American with Disabilities Act Statement: 

Clarendon College provides reasonable accommodations for persons with temporary or permanent disabilities.  Should you require special accommodations, notify the Office of Student Services (806-874-3571) We will work with you to make whatever accommodations we need to make.

 

Academic Integrity and Honesty:
In order to help students learn in an academic environment, I adhere to a strict policy regarding academic honesty. Anyone who is dishonest in any way (including the following examples) will receive a zero on that assignment or test with no opportunity to make up the zero and may be dropped from the course with a grade of F:

 

Examples of dishonest behavior:

             Uses notes or textbooks during an exam

Receives help from someone during an exam

Gives help to another student during an exam

Uses someone else’s files for part or all of a lab assignment

Lets someone else use any of your lab assignment files**

 

** It is your responsibility to protect your electronically saved files. If someone else turns in an assignment as if it were that student’s work but it is work that you completed, I will have to assume that you allowed it to happen. Therefore, make sure your saved files are kept in a place where others cannot copy them. In class we will discuss ways to protect your files. It is okay to help someone else on a lab assignment by explaining to that person how to complete a task, but it is dishonest for you to complete the work for that person or to let that person copy your completed files.

Dropping a Course: A student who is enrolled in a developmental course for TSI purposes may not drop his/her only developmental course unless the student completely withdraws from the college.  A student may drop any other course with a grade of “W” any time after the census date for the semester and on or before the end of the 12th week of a long semester, or on or before the last day to drop a class of a term as designated in the college calendar.  The request for permission to drop a course is initiated by the student by procuring a drop form the Office of Student Services. (Refer to other policies concerning this issue in the current college catalog online.) (Please visit with me before you drop the course.)  If you decide you must withdraw, a formal procedure must be followed in order for you to receive a “W” on your transcript.  The last day to drop must be followed, which is found in college catalog.

According to Texas state law a student is only allowed to drop the same class twice before he/she will be charged triple the tuition amount for taking the class a third time or more.  Furthermore, beginning with the Fall 2007 semester, students in Texas may only drop a total of 6 courses throughout their entire undergraduate career.  After the 6th dropped class, he/she will no longer be able to withdraw from any classes.

Withdrawal from College: When a student finds it necessary to withdraw from school before the end of the semester, he or she should obtain a withdrawal form from the Office of Student Services.  Students may also withdraw from the college by sending a written request for such action to the Registrar’s Office.  The request must include the student’s signature, the student’s current address, social security number and course information details.  Students who withdraw after the census date for the semester and on or before the end of the 12th week of a long semester, or on or before the last day to drop a class of a term as designated in the college calendar will be assigned a grade of “W”. If you quit and do not formally withdraw, you will receive a grade of “F” on  your transcript.
