will not be given.
2. In order to receive full credit for any assignment it must completely satisfy the
requirements of the assignment and be submitted on time.
3. Always put your name on anything you hand in. Do not put your ID number on
any written work.

must notify the instructor before the exam.
5. NO grades of INC will be given. Be aware of the last day to withdraw from the

in as your own. You will be referred to the Dean of Student's office and subject to
suspension and possibly expulsion from the College. As stated in the College
Bulletin:
"Students found guilty of any form of academic dishonesty, such as plagiarism or
cheating on an exam, are subject to discipline, including suspension or dismissal
from the College."
8. Do not abuse the computer facilities provided to you by the Computer Center.
The Computer Center has strict policies in this matter which you should read.
