The Long Beach Community College District establishes an academic environment in which inquiry is nurtured, individual responsibility is rewarded, and academic dishonesty, cheating, and plagiarism are not tolerated.

Lack of honesty in the classroom is a very serious offense. Any form of cheating on tests, turning in work which is not one’s own, plagiarizing, furnishing false information to instructors, or knowingly misrepresenting oneself to the college is grounds for disciplinary action. The consequences of cheating are severe and may include the possibility of expulsion.

All students have a right to due process. If a class conflict occurs, students should discuss the issues with the professor during the instructor’s student hours. Additional resources for resolving conflicts include the department head, school dean, and Vice President of Student Support Services or designee.

Course Policies:

For any instance of infringement of these policies, I will file an "Academic Misconduct Incident Report" and you will receive zero points/an F on the assignment or test. If it happens again during the semester, you will be withdrawn from the course. There's no reason to risk this: Do Your Own work. College should be a process of learning and growing, not one of simply finding ways to "make the grade."
