Academic Honesty

You are expected to complete your own assignments and exams. If you are caught cheating, both you and the other students involved will receive an F.

What do we mean by “cheating?”

• Working with another student to complete assignments or exams
• Submitting someone else’s files as your own
• Submitting either your assignments or another student’s files from a previous semester
• Helping someone or receiving help on an exam
• Getting someone else to take your exams

What happens if you cheat?

Both you and the other students involved will receive an F on the assignment, exam, and/or for the entire course.

For more information, see the SBCC Student Code of Conduct in the General College Catalog.

Appropriate Behavior

Please consider our online classroom, any site we use for the course, as public and professional space.

All involved, the instructor and the student, are expected to conduct themselves in their dealings with each other with respect, civility and the highest standards of professionalism.

This applies not only to any verbal or direct communication but also to all forms of your “digital” presence in the class.

Our goal is to ensure a safe, non-harrassing learning environment for everyone in the class.

Examples of unacceptable behavior:

1. Language: (whether in email, on the Discussion board, or embedded in assignments)
   1. profanity
   2. personal insults
   3. derogatory remarks
   4. sexually explicit remarks
2. Behavior: (whether in email, on the Discussion board, or embedded in assignments)
   1. creating a hostile or threatening exchange
   2. persisting in unwanted communication

What happens if you engage in inappropriate or disruptive behavior?

You will be reported to the Dean of Students along with all facts in the case for disciplinary action which may result in your expulsion and removal from the course.
