Others: Attendance policies: Absences from eams and handing in assignments on time: Health and safety procedures: Honesty policy regarding cheating, plagiarism, misbehavior: Description Attendance University policy is that students are to attend all classes and to arrive on time. Verified emergencies may require an absence or delay, but habitual tardiness or absence affects your learning and disrupts the class. Your presence is important since student contributions are a significant part of classroom activity and absence deprives others of your contributions. Students are not allowed to miss more than 15% of the classes during the semester. Failing to meet this requirement will be dealt with according to the university disciplinary rules. Eams. Any absence from an eam that is not ecused, will result in a grade of ZERO. For an absence to be ecused, the student must provide an appropriate documentation and give advance notification. Assignments University policy is, that assignments are due on the date assigned. Instructors may refuse to accept late assignments or lower the grade that would be otherwise given. The Honor Code is an integral part of university life. Students are responsible, therefore, for understanding the code s provisions. Cheating and attempted cheating, plagiarism, lying, and stealing of academic work and related materials constitute Honor Code violations. In the spirit of the code, a student s word is a declaration of good faith acceptable as truth in all academic matters. To maintain an academic community according to these standards, students and faculty must report all alleged violations to the Honor Committee. Plagiarism is a serious academic offense. Plagiarism is the use of someone else s ideas, words, projects, artwork, phrasing, sentence structure or other work without properly acknowledging the ownership (source) of the property (item). Plagiarism is dishonest because it misrepresents the work of someone else as one s own. Any violations of the University s academic rules, regulations or directives are reported to the head of the department and may result in one of the university disciplinary measures. 7 JUBS-March 2017
