Academic and Institution Policies:

Academic Integrity:

The academic community is operated on the basis of honesty, integrity and fair play. It

is expected that all students, as members of the college community, adhere to the highest levels of academic

integrity.

Which Means:

•

Students are responsible for submitting their own work. Students work

MUST NOT

be plagiarized.

•

Students must not cooperate on oral or written exams or quizzes or work together on other

assignments unless it has been authorized by the instructor.

Violations of academic principles such as cheating, plagiarism and other academic improprieties will be

handled using the guidelines outlined in the Student Handbook.

Quality of Work:

At the college level of learning, it is expected that all work be submitted free of spelling, grammar and

punctuation errors. Participation in the course work is expected and taken into account when determining

coarse grades. Discussion and information must be thought- out, in-depth and incorporate new vocabulary

and concepts learned during the course.

Confidentiality

The experiences or problems shared by classmates during meeting time are not to be discussed outside of

class. This is preparation for those going into a helping field where confidentiality is stressed in the CEC

Standards for Professional Practice.
