Academic Policies
Academic Probation
A student who fails a class will be on Academic Probation the following quarter. To remain in the program, the student must 1) Pass the class s/he failed in the previous quarter, and/or 2) Show academic improvement. A student who fails the same class two quarters in a row may be disqualified from the program.
Academic Honesty
Any form of cheating, including plagiarism, will not be tolerated. Students are expected to complete their own assignments, as directed by instructors. The first time a student is caught cheating or helping someone cheat, that student may receive a '0' on that assignment without the possibility of making up the assignment. The second time a student is caught cheating, the student is required to meet with an academic advisor. The third time a student is caught cheating, the student may be disqualified from the program.
