STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

We believe every student wants to succeed and success is also knowing what expectations are for a college classroom. We assume everyone will conduct ourselves in a manner which reflects our awareness of common standards of decency, respect and the rights of others. All students are expected to know

the Student Conduct Policy and adhere to it in this class. Students who violate the code may be referred to the Conduct Dean for discipline.

RESPECT:

The best way to learn is through active participation; therefore, we respect others when talking, by being on-time, listening actively, and being polite even when we disagree with another’s viewpoint. Employers and coworkers also expect this in the workplace.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:

All written work is to be original; plagiarism of any kind will result in a failing grade on that assignment. Students who plagiarize or cheat may be suspended – for one or two class meetings by the instructor – and referred to the Conduct Dean for discipline sanction, in cases of egregious violation. Please see  Policy 3.1 Academic Integrity

Collaborating on or copying of an assignment in whole or in part will be considered an act of academic dishonesty and result in a grade of 0 for that assignment. We encourage students to share information and ideas, but not their work.

See these links on Plagiarism: SRJC Writing Center Lessons on Avoiding Plagiarism; SRJC's Statement on Academic Integrity.

Students who register in SRJC classes are expected to abide by the SRJC Student Conduct Standards. Violation of the Standards is basis for referral to the Vice President of Student Services or dismissal from class or from the College. See the Student Code of Conduct page.
