Student Email Policy
Dakota College at Bottineau is increasingly dependent upon email as an official form of communication. A student’s campus-
assigned email address will be the only one recognized by the campus for official mailings. The liability for missing or not acting
upon important information conveyed via campus email rests with the student.
Academic Integrity:
Students are responsible for submitting their own work. Students who cooperate on oral or written examinations or work without
authorization share the responsibility for violation of academic principles and the students are subject to disciplinary action even
when one of the students is not enrolled in the course where the violation occurred. (Student handbook p.19)
Students will receive no credit for work that fails to meet standards of academic integrity.
If a person participates in academic dishonesty more than once, the result will be an F for the course.
The use of templates or other pre-made layouts will result in an F for the assignment.
The instructor reserves the right to interpret and declare what is considered cheating on a case-by-case basis.
Disabilities and Special Needs:
If you have a disability for which you need accommodation, contact me within the first week
of the semester. Learning Center disability support services are available also: phone 701-228-5477 or toll-free 1-888-918-5623.
