Make Up Policy

communicate with me prior to an extenuating circumstance for make-up instructions. I will handle these

Cleveland Community College expects students to practice academic honesty at all times.
Academic dishonesty refers to cheating on tests, examinations, projects, and other assigned work.
Plagiarism, a very serious form of academic dishonesty, is work that has been written by someone other
than the student submitting the work or work obtained from an undocumented or improperly documented
resource. Students are responsible for documenting both direct quotations and paraphrased material.
Direct quotations must appear within quotation marks and must be documented. Paraphrased material
(written in the student’s own words but taken from another source) must also be documented completely
and accurately.
A 90-100
B 80-89.9
