Academic Honesty
All students are expected to respect academic honesty policy. Instructors will fail

student reported to the University for cheating will be placed on the list of disciplinary
probation; a student reported twice will be suspended or expelled.

Special Needs or Assistance

learning disability, a medical issue, or any other type of problem that prevents
