“Student’s academic success is the major priority of the College. Because regular participation enhances the learning process, students are expected to adhere to the attendance policy set forth by the College and individual faculty members. Differences in content and teaching styles exist among courses, which can impact students’ learning. Therefore, students are strongly encouraged to attend all classes to better prepare them for assignments, tests, and other course-related activities. Students are accountable for assignments and material covered during an absence”.

No person shall, on the grounds of race, color, sex, religion, creed,
national origin, age or disability, be excluded from employment or
participation in, be denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subjected to
discrimination under any program or activity conducted by Georgia Perimeter
College.
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION STATEMENT

Regents Testing Program
The
University System of Georgia requires that all students enrolled in
undergraduate degree programs
in University System institutions (including
Georgia Perimeter College) successfully complete all parts
of a competency
examination in reading and English composition. This competency examination is
commonly called “the Regents Test”, and it is free of charge. A student has two
attempts to pass
this test before accumulating 45 hours of collegiate credit.
Please sign up for the Regents’ Test
when you enroll in English 1102. Do this
in time to have two attempts before accumulating 45 credit hours!
Instructions for Assessments
1) Assessment are found in
iCollege and
have a range of time (usually a week) in
which they must be completed. Failure
to complete an assessment will result in a zero ‘0’.
2) No grade will be dropped.
3) No makeup will be allowed after the availability dates.
4) The policy regarding plagiarism applies to
all work in this class.
5) Students may compare answers after
completion of problems on homework
assessments or receive help from an outside
source, if:
a) Both parties must have worked the
problems completely.
b) No student is allowed to copy another student’s work or answers.
c) A student may receive help from an outside source provided:
1) No person may work the problems for
you.
2) Persons assisting you may show you how to work a similar problem.

GEORGIA PERIMETER COLLEGE
MATHEMATICS/COMPUTER SCIENCE/ENGINEERING DISCIPLINE
(Rev. 4/25/06)
As a community committed to learning, Georgia
Perimeter College recognizes and specifies that students,
whether working as
individuals or in a group, shall always present to the instructor their own
work for
an honest grade assessment.
Academic Honesty Procedures have been
established by Georgia Perimeter College to insure due process
in cases of
cheating. A copy of procedures is in the Student Handbook.
Cheating of any kind may result in a penalty
ranging from a grade of zero for the work in question to a
grade of "F" in
the course AND will be referred to the College Court for assignment of
penalty that may
include suspension from the College. Referral to the
College Court is required whether the student
admits or denies the
violation.
Unless specifically authorized by the
instructor, the following are examples of cheating.
his is not an
exhaustive list.
A. On a test or quiz:
1.
Looking at or copying from another student's work.
2.
Allowing another student to look at or copy your work.
3.
Having a copy of the test before actually taking the test.
4.
Sharing a calculator.
5.
6.
Accessing unauthorized material whether it be student notes, printed material, or material accessed electronically.
B. On homework or other out-of-class assignments:
Interpersonal:
1.
Copying work or answers from another student.
2.
Copying work or answers from a book.
3.
Having another person do work for you.
4.
Allowing another student to use your work as his or her own.
5.
Presenting the work of another as your own (plagiarism).
Computer Related:
1.
Submitting the programs, documentation or program results of another person as one’s own.
2.
Obtaining or attempting to obtain unauthorized access to information stored in electronic form.
3.
Submitting false results of a program's output for a class assignment or falsifying the results of program execution for the purpose of improving a grade.
C. For late work or tests:
Providing false information or documents in order to be allowed to make up a missed test, quiz, or homework.

In compliance with Centers for Disease Control recommendations, students should NOT attend class or any public gatherings while ill with influenza. Students with flu symptoms should not come to campus and should remain at home during recovery. Because this is an online class, we do not expect attendance and performance to be affected as it would be in a face-to-face class.
If you become ill with influenza and you are unable to complete an assessment, assignment, test or quiz, you must notify your instructor within 24 hours of your initial inability, using the GPC Illness Notification Form: http://www.gpc.edu/absence
Your instructor will inform you of the new due date(s) for any assignments for which you have received an extension. Any work not completed by the extended due date will receive a score of 0. If you are ill for an extended period of time causing you to miss multiple assignments, then you may need to consider withdrawing from the course.
