Academic Dishonesty
All students are expected to be academically honest. Cheating, lying and other of unethical behaviour will not be
tolerated. Any student found guilty in examinations or plagiarism in submitted course requirements will receive an F or
failure in the course requirement or in the course. Plagiarism refers to the use of books, notes or other intellectual property
without giving proper attribution to its author, or representing the work of another person as one’s own. Cheating refers to

securing help in a test; copying tests, assignments, reports or term papers; collaborating with other students during an
examination or in preparing academic work; signing other student’s name on an attendance sheet; or otherwise practicing
scholastic dishonesty.
Policy on Absences
The allowed number of absences for students enrolled in a 1 ½ hours class is 7. Request for excused absences or
waiver of absences must be presented upon reporting back to class. Special examinations will be allowed only in special
cases, such as prolonged illness. It is the responsibility of the student to monitor his/her own tardy incidents and absences that
might accumulate leading to a grade of Drop without Permission or has a numeric equivalent of 5.0. It is her/his
responsibility to consult with the teacher, chair or dean should his/her case be of special nature.
