Discussion Forum by the due date of Day 3 of class. If no participation or communication is attempted
before Day 7 of class, you will be dropped from this course. If two assignments/quizzes/exams are
missed in a row, you will be dropped from this course. Complete all the assignments by the due dates

All assignments must be presented on the due dates as stated in this document or as announced
in class. Reading assignments or due dates for written assignments may be changed with notice from the
instructor. No late work will be accepted, nor missed exams/quizzes made up unless previous
arrangements have been made with the instructor (or the instructor determines the reason for the late
work/missed exam warrants the opportunity to make up the assignment). Penalties may be applied to
the late work and will be determined by the instructor (such as half points given for late work). It is your
responsibility to complete readings/assignments to stay on course for this class. **Schedule, Labs, or
Assignments may be subject to change, it is the student’s responsibility to regularly log into class for
updates!
Academic Honesty

It is expected that all work submitted for grading is original, not copied from others, and that the work
being graded is indeed done by the student who is receiving the grade. Cheating and plagiarism are
serious violations of the student code. Cheating or plagiarizing will result in a zero on the assignment or
test and may result in suspension, failure in the course, and/or other disciplinary action taken by the
College. All incidents of cheating or plagiarizing are reported to the Dean of Students.

Student Code of Conduct

An important part of fulfilling the College’s mission is providing a student discipline process that
promotes student accountability and social responsibility, as well as maintaining a college environment
that is respectful, inclusive, and collegial that is free from intimidation, threats, coercion, or violence.

Any conduct or behavior that disrupts the learning environment is a potential violation of the Student
Code of Conduct (BP 5500) as written in the Citrus College catalog. Any conduct or behavior that
interferes with any students attaining his or hers academic goals, maintaining the orderly operations of
the College, or presents a threat to the health and safety of the campus community is a behavior of
concern. College faculty, staff, administrators, and students are encouraged to report violations to the
Dean of Students and disciplinary actions may be taken.
