STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT Academic Dishonesty Any form of deception in the completion of assigned work is considered a form of academic dishonesty. This includes, but is not limited to: copying another’s work from any source, allowing another to copy one’s own work whether during a test or in the submission of an assignment, any attempt to pass off the work, data, or creative efforts of another as one’s own and knowingly furnishing false information about one’s academic performance to the college. If a student is found to have committed one or more of the acts listed above, the student may receive a failing grade on the assignment or exam in question, or fail the course. At the discretion of the President, Director of Education, and Department Chair a student in violation of the above conduct policy may be terminated from the college. Weapons Policy With the single exception of on-duty law enforcement personnel who may be on the college campus to teach or assist in teaching a class or for some other law enforcement purpose and regardless of any person’s status as a concealed weapons permit holder, the possession of firearms and/or other personal weapons is strictly prohibited on the premises of Summer College. No student, staff, or faculty member is permitted to carry or possess such a weapon within the campus facilities. This policy extends to all extern, clinical rotation, practicum, and preceptor sites used by the college in conjunction with a college sponsored educational activity. Violation of this policy will result in the student being expelled from the school and face possible criminal charges. Copyright Infringement The unauthorized reproduction or distribution of copyrighted materials is prohibited. This may include but is not limited to Internet file-to-file transfer, student-to-student transfer, photocopies, or undisclosed use of copyrighted material in essays or other works created by a student. Students using copyrighted materials are required to identify the source of the material and its copyright in all school materials.
Course Repeats, Incompletes, Withdrawals, Transfers, & Graduates Enrolling in Additional Programs Students have the option to retake academic classes and substitute the second grade in the calculation of the student’s CGPA and successful course completion rate, if a grade of a C- or lower is earned. However, in no case may the student extend as a regular student beyond one and one-half times the normal program length in order to complete the program. An “Incomplete” (“I” grade) will be given to any student who does not completely fulfill the requirements of a course. A grade may be substituted for the “I” if the student successfully completes the unfinished work within one academic term. Failure to complete the work required for a course before the end of the next term will result in the letter grade of “F.” The grade of “I” will be calculated as credit attempted in the calculation of successful course completion percentage. If a student takes a failed course more than once both the original credit hours and subsequent repetitions will be calculated as credits attempted in the successful course completion percentage. In calculating the CGPA, only the higher grade for the repeated course will be used. An incomplete grade, leave of absence and withdrawal will also be counted in the calculation of successful course completion percentage if the student was charged for any portion of the class. Students are allowed to retake a course one time if they earn a ‘C-’ or lower. Transfer credits from other institutions will not be used in the calculation of satisfactory academic progress or the Sumner College GPA/CGPA calculation. If a student transfers from another program within the institution, only those courses that apply to the new program will apply to the satisfactory progress calculation. If a student graduates from another program within the institution, only those courses that apply to the new program will apply to the satisfactory progress calculation.
