FAILURE TO WITHDRAW POLICY

Failure to withdraw may result in the student receiving a regular grade of "F" at the end of the semester.

PLAGIARISM POLICY

Plagiarism is claiming, indicating, or implying that the ideas, sentences, or words of another writer are your own; it includes having another writer do work claimed to be your own, copying the work of another and presenting it as your own, or following the work of another as a guide to ideas and expression that are then presented as your own.  The student should review the relevant sections of the TCC Student Code of Conduct Policy Handbook.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY OR MISCONDUCT

Academic dishonesty or misconduct is not condoned nor tolerated at campuses within the Tulsa Community College system.  Academic dishonesty is behavior in which a deliberately fraudulent misrepresentation is employed in an attempt to gain undeserved intellectual credit, either for oneself or for another.  Academic misconduct is behavior that results in intellectual advantage obtained by violating specific standards, but without deliberate intent or use of fraudulent means. The student should review the relevant sections of the TCC Student Code of Conduct Policy Handbook.

COMPUTER SERVICES ACCEPTABLE USE

Access to computing resources is a privilege granted to all TCC faculty, staff, and students.  Use of TCC computing resources is limited to purposes related to the College’s mission of education, research, and community service.  Student use of technology is governed by the Computer Services Acceptable Use Statements/Standards found in the TCC Student Code of Conduct Policy Handbook.  These handbooks may be obtained by contacting any Student Activities or Dean of Student Services office.

CLASSROOM ETIQUETTE

Be sure that all cell phones are muted during class.

If you are using an electronic method (notebook, palm, or desktop) to take notes, please make sure your method of input (e.g typing) is not distractive to those around you. Excessive noise while ingesting knowledge through electronic means will result in the enforcement of anachronistic methods (e.g. pencil and paper).
