Statement of Academic Integrity: (Provide your students with your school’s policies and procedures and delineate clearly how you address first-time and subsequent academic infractions within your course (including, but not limited to, reduction in grade, elimination of grade, failure for the course). For reference, please refer to TC3’s statement of academic integrity below.)
Tompkins Cortland Community College’s Statement of Academic Integrity
Every student at Tompkins Cortland Community College is expected to act in an academically honest fashion in all aspects of his or her academic work: in writing papers and reports, in taking examinations, in performing laboratory experiments and reporting the results, in clinical and cooperative learning experiences, and in attending to paperwork such as registration forms.
Any written work submitted by a student must be his or her own. If the student uses the words or ideas of someone else, he or she must cite the source by such means as a footnote. Our guiding principle is that any honest evaluation of a student's performance must be based on that student's work. Any action taken by a student that would result in misrepresentation of someone else's work or actions as the student's own — such as cheating on a test, submitting for credit a paper written by another person, or forging an advisor's signature — is intellectually dishonest and deserving of censure.
Make-Up Policy/Late Work: Students with excused absences will be allowed 3 days to turn in missed work.
Attendance Policy: Students are expected to be in class every day in order to be successful in this class. Attendance policy will be followed according to Newark Valley H.S.
Student Responsibilities: To complete quality work within the specified time period.
