Academic Integrity (A-9.1)
Academic
integrity
is
a
responsibility
of
all university faculty and students.
Faculty members promote academic integrity in multiple ways including
instruction on the components of academic honesty, as well as abiding
by university policy on penalties for cheating and plagiarism.
Definition of Academic Dishonesty Academic
dishonesty includes both cheating and plagiarism. Cheating includes but
is not limited to (1) using or attempting to use unauthorized materials
to aid in achieving a better grade on a component of a class; (2) the
falsification or invention of any information, including citations, on
an assigned exercise; and/or (3) helping or attempting to help another
in an act of cheating or plagiarism. Plagiarism is presenting the words
or ideas of another person as if they were your own. Examples of
plagiarism are (1) submitting an assignment as if it were one's own
work when, in fact, it is at least partly the work of another; (2)
submitting a work that has been purchased or otherwise obtained from an
Internet source or another source; and (3) incorporating the words or
ideas of an author into one's paper without giving the author
due credit. Please read the complete policy at

Grades
Policy
(A-54)
Ordinarily,
at
the
discretion
of
the
instructor of record and with the approval of the
academic chair/director, a grade of WH will be assigned only if the
student cannot complete the course work because of unavoidable
circumstances. Students must complete the work within one calendar year
from the end of the semester in which they receive a WH, or the grade
automatically becomes an F. If students register for the same course in
future terms the WH will automatically become an F and will be counted
as a repeated course for the purpose of computing the grade point
average.
The circumstances precipitating the request must have occurred after
the last day in which a student could withdraw from a course. Students
requesting a WH must be passing the course with a minimum projected
grade of C.
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
To obtain disability related accommodations, alternate formats and/or auxiliary aids, students with disabilities must contact the Office of Disability Services (ODS), Human Services Building, and Room 325, 468-3004 / 468-1004 (TDD) as early as possible in the semester. Once verified, ODS will notify the course instructor and outline the accommodation and/or auxiliary aids to be provided. Failure to request services in a timely manner may delay your accommodations.
This syllabus and other course materials can be made available in other formats. This course meets certain objectives of the ExCET/TEKS. A copy of the objectives and course correlations is available in the ExCET Advisor's office.
