CCC 2018 Spring Schedule

Clovis Community College – Spring 2018 Class Schedule 146 CAMPUS POLICIES Academic Dishonesty Students at Clovis Community College are entitled to the best education that the college can make available to them, and they, their instructors, and their fellow students share the responsibility to ensure that this education is honestly attained. Because cheating, plagiarism, and collusion in dishonest activities erode the integrity of the college, each student is expected to exert an entirely honest effort in all academic endeavors. Academic dishonesty in any form is a very serious offense and will incur serious consequences. Cheating is the act or attempted act of taking an examination or performing an assigned, evaluated task in a fraudulent or deceptive manner, such as having improper access to answers, in an attempt to gain an unearned academic advantage. Cheating may include, but is not limited to, copying from another’s work, supplying one’s work to another, giving or receiving copies of examinations without an instructor’s permission, using or displaying notes or devices inappropriate to the conditions of the examination, allowing someone other than the officially enrolled student to represent the student, or failing to disclose research results completely. Plagiarism is a specific form of cheating: the use of another’s words or ideas without identifying them as such or giving credit to the source. Plagiarism may include, but is not limited to, failing to provide complete citations and references for all work that draws on the ideas, words, or work of others, failing to identify contributors to work done in collaboration, submitting duplicated work to be evaluated in different courses without the knowledge and consent of the instructors involved, or failing to observe computer security systems and software copyrights. Incidents of cheating and plagiarism may result in any of a variety of sanctions and penalties, which may range from a failing grade on the particular examination, paper, project, or assignment in question to a failing grade in the course, at the discretion of the instructor and depending on the severity and frequency of the incidents. For more information, contact the Vice President of Instruction and Student Services’ Office. Drug- and Alcohol-Free Campus Clovis Community College is committed to maintaining a drug- and alcohol-free campus. To that end, the college prohibits the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession, or use of controlled substances (as defined in Schedules I through V of the Controlled Substances Act {21U.S.C812} and as further defined by Regulations 21 CFR 1308.15 in the workplace). Behavior which violates this policy will be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with campus policies and regulations (BP 5410). Persons who seek information and/or resolution of alleged violations are directed to the Vice President of Instruction and Student Services at (559) 325-5214, the Dean of Instruction at (559) 325-5264, the Dean of Students at (559) 325-5265 or campus police at (559) 244-5911. Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) outlines certain rights students have concerning access to and release of their educational records. Copies of District Administration Regulations implementing this act may be obtained from the Admissions and Records Office. Each student is encouraged to obtain a copy. The act ensures that the students will have access to their educational records and that the college will not release their records to anyone, including any parents, who is not designated by the student to receive them, except as provided by the law itself. The law authorizes the release of directory information in the absence of student objection. Directory information includes: name, address, date and place of birth, major field of study, current class schedule, participation in activities, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and last institution attended. Objection, if any, to the release of this information may be made at the time the student applies for admission or at registration.
