Note that in courses meeting just once per week, the student's grade point average will be lowered after 2 or more absences.

Policy on Plagiarism:  It is required by the college that all instances of plagiarism be reported directly to the Chairperson of the given Department and the Dean of Academic Affairs for disciplinary action.

What constitutes plagiarism?  Plagiarism is the copying of information directly or indirectly (ie. word for word OR in your own words) from an original source and submitting this information as your own.  All research sources must be cited in footnotes, endnotes or as original quotes.
