STUDENT CODE OF ETHICS:

Cheating or plagiarism is dishonest, undermines the necessary trust upon

which relations between students and faculty are based, and is unacceptable conduct. Students who engage in cheating or plagiarism will be subject to academic sanctions, including a lowered or failing grade in a

course; and the possibility of an additional administrative sanction, including probation, suspension, or expulsion. Cheating is the act of obtaining or

attempting to obtain credit for academic work by using dishonest means. Cheating at FNU includes but is not limited to: Copying, in part or whole from another's examination, paper, mathematical analysis, research or

creative project, or the like; Submitting as one's own work an examination, paper, mathematical analysis, research or creative project, or the like which has been purchased, borrowed, or stolen; or fabricating data;

Consulting notes, sources, or materials not specifically authorized by the instructor during an examination; Employing a surrogate to take an

examination, write a paper, do mathematical analysis, or complete, in part or wholly, an evaluation instrument; Aiding or abetting any act that a reasonable person would conclude, when informed of the evidence, to be a

dishonest means of obtaining or attempting to obtain credit for academic work; and committing any act that a reasonable person would conclude,

when informed of the evidence, to be a dishonest means of obtaining or attempting to obtain credit for academic work.

Plagiarism is the act of obtaining or attempting to obtain credit for academic work by representing the work of another as one's own without

the necessary and appropriate acknowledgment. More specifically, plagiarism is: The act of incorporating the ideas, words of sentences, paragraphs, or parts thereof without appropriate acknowledgment and

representing the product as one's own work; and The act of representing another's intellectual work such as musical composition, computer program, photographs, painting, drawing, sculpture, or research or the like

as one's own. If a student is in doubt about the nature of plagiarism, he/she should discuss the matter with the course instructor. All written

assignments submitted via TurnitIn should have limited similarity indexes. Similarity index of greater than 20% is not acceptable and is viewed as an indication of high plagiarism content.

Theft - Copying computer programs owned, leased, or rented by the College for use by the student in his or her course of studies is considered

theft and will be dealt with according to the laws covering such actions and to the College norms for disciplinary actions. In cases like these, the Campus Dean will convene a Hearing Committee which will hear, investigate and

render a report to the Campus Dean. This Committee will be composed of three members from the faculty or staff. According to the findings, the Campus Dean has the choice to make a decision. If this decision is not

acceptable to those involved, a petition to the Dean to appoint an Honor Court must be signed by at least three people. The Honor Court procedure

is explained in the Student Handbook.

CLASSROOM POLICIES: All students are responsible for reviewing the School

Catalog Policies http://www.fnc_edu/publications/Cataloggeneral.pdf

Students are expected to logon to Blackboard at least once every 24 hours to ensure

that they remain on schedule and aware of assignments or any changes to class

scheduling. All assignments are due on the due date and at the specified time, and

must all be submitted via Blackboard. All written assignments will be submitted

through designated TurnItIn links accessible via Blackboard. All written assignments

submitted through TurnItIn will be evaluated using the TurnItIn similarity index to

determine if work submitted by students is original and not plagiarized. All work

submitted by students must contain no more than 20% similarity index, any

percentage greater than 20% will be unacceptable and considered as

plagiarism.

All students are required to access their university email accounts at least twice per

week as important information may be shared using this vehicle. In emergency

situations such as natural disasters, important information regarding university

functions and operations will be communicated via email.

Students will be graded on the achievement of the objectives, not on the effort put into

completing assignments. All online discussions, written assignments and

documentation of others' ideas and words in presentations must be in APA 6th

edition format. Students have one opportunity to complete each assignment. Papers

cannot be rewritten and presentations cannot be re-given in an attempt to obtain a

higher grade.
