• Collaborating with another student during a test without authority;
• Knowingly using, buying, selling, stealing, transporting, or soliciting in whole or part the contents of an un-administered test;
• Bribing another person to obtain a test that is to be administered.

3.Collusion means the unauthorized collaboration with another person in preparing written work offered for credit.

Possible punishments for academic dishonesty may include a grade of 0 or F on the particular assignment, failure in the course, and/or recommendation for probation or dismissal from the College System.

Attendance and Withdrawal Policies

Students are expected to attend classes regularly. Students are responsible for course content covered during their absences, and it is the student's responsibility to consult with instructors for make-up assignments.  A student may be dropped from a course for excessive absences after the student has accumulated absences in excess of 12.5% of the hours of instruction.

Grading Policy

While each faculty member may weight the exams, assignments, and projects independently, the History faculty, in general, adhere to the overall HCCS grade policy:

The grade of "I" (incomplete) is conditional. A student receiving an "I" must arrange with the instructor to complete the course work within six months of the end of the incomplete term.  After the deadline, the "I" becomes an "F."  All "I"s must be changed to grades prior to graduation.

Drop or Withdrawal Policies

A student may drop a course or withdraw from the college by following the procedure outlined by the Campus Director.  Should circumstances prevent a student from appearing in person to withdraw, withdrawal may be complete by writing to the Registrar's Office.  A drop or withdrawal request will not be accepted by telephone.  A student, who ceases to attend a class without officially dropping or without withdrawing, will be given a grade of "F" for non-attendance.  A semester-hour student who fails to attend classes by the twelfth class day of a regular term will be administratively withdrawn from the class roll.  Students who officially withdraw from a course during the first twelve days of a regular semester will not received a grade and the course will not appear in their permanent records.  Students withdrawing from a course after this period and prior to the deadline designated in the college calendar will receive a "W".  A student may not withdraw from a course during the last two weeks prior to the final examination period.

Course Requirements for example: Testing, Projects, Assignments, Portfolios, Service Learning, Internships, etc.
