Accommodation of Disabilities

To request academic accommodations due to a disability, please visit the DRC or contact the DRC staff at 222-8060. A DRC staff member will confidentially review your concerns with you to determine any required accommodations. Once your accommodations are approved through DRC, please bring your DRC documentation(s) to me so that we may discuss your accommodations.

Academic Honesty, Plagiarism, Cheating, etc.

Not necessary to steal code.  Document where and what was utilized then modified for the specific assignment. Document in your extensive comments throughout.  You will of course, only get credit for the modifications and additions.  However, if you claim it is yours, and it will be obvious when it is not, then refer to the Student Handbook about consequences.  Obviously, no credit will be given for the assignment.

Adding and Dropping the Course

Students adding this section will be provided with a four digit add/authorization code. You are responsible for completing the add process before the deadline to add. This deadline can be found in the Schedule of Classes available online in pdf format on the college’s website. Add codes can be processed through your WebAdvisor account. If you fail to add the class by the deadline, you are not officially enrolled and college policy prohibits you from continuing to attend class. Be aware that your failure to pay fees/fines, to document prerequisites, to clear academic holds, or to navigate personal problems may hinder you from adding this section. Please allow sufficient time to take care of these issues before the deadline to add. Adding this course after the published deadline will require documentation of extenuating circumstances involving severe illness, accident, or death of a family member.

The use of an add/authorization code issued to another student violates the Student Code of Conduct and will be referred to the Dean of Student Services for disciplinary action. The unauthorized use of an add code is grounds for removal from the course.

You may withdraw from this course by using WebAdvisor prior to the drop deadlines. Deadlines are available on WebAdvisor. If there is a hold restricting use of WebAdvisor for this purpose, you may bring a completed ADD/DROP card to the Admissions counter of the college and complete the process there. It is the student’s responsibility to drop this class should s/he decide no longer to attend.
