UWRT 1101 - ANDREWS

Plagiarism:

As a UNCC student, I expect you to read and abide by the policies set forth in the Code of Student Academic Integrity. I take plagiarism very seriously and will not hesitate to investigate claims. Please be sure to properly cite the source of all work, do not resubmit work, and understand the meaning of paraphrasing and summarizing. Also, plagiarism cases may result in failure of the assignment, the course, or dismissal from the university. I have included the code for you to read and understand. Please visit the Plagiarism appendix,  http://legal.uncc.edu/policies/ps-105.html, for more information or if you have any questions. 

 

Student Academic Integrity at UNCC:

The Code of Student Academic Integrity governs the responsibility of students to maintain integrity in academic work, defines violations of the standards, describes procedures for handling alleged violations of the standards, and lists applicable penalties. The following conduct is prohibited in that Code as violating those standards:

A. Cheating. Intentionally using or attempting to use unauthorized materials, information, notes, study aids or other devices in any academic exercise. This definition includes unauthorized communication of information during an academic exercise.

B. Fabrication and Falsification. Intentional and unauthorized alteration or invention of any information or citation in an academic exercise. Falsification is a matter of altering information, while fabrication is a matter of inventing or counterfeiting information for use in any academic exercise.

C. Multiple Submission. The submission of substantial portions of the same academic work (including oral reports) for credit more than once without authorization.

D. Plagiarism. Intentionally or knowingly presenting the work of another as one's own (i.e., without proper acknowledgment of the source). The sole exception to the requirement of acknowledging sources is when the ideas, information, etc., are common knowledge. (NOTE: For more information regarding plagiarism, see PLAGIARISM Appendix at http://legal.uncc.edu/policies/ps-105.html)

E. Abuse of Academic Materials. Intentionally or knowingly destroying, stealing, or making inaccessible library or other academic resource material.

F. Complicity in Academic Dishonesty. Intentionally or knowingly helping or attempting to help another to commit an act of academic dishonesty.

 

Religious Observance Policy: 

In compliance with the University’s Religious Observance Policy, you are also eligible for a minimum of two absences a year for religious observances.  If you need to be absent from class for a religious observance, you must fill out paperwork and notify me by the census date.   For more information, please visit: http://legal.uncc.edu/policies/ps-134.html.  If you are absent for any reason you are responsible for any missed work and any modifications to the syllabus and/or assignments.

 

Students with Disabilities:

Students who have a disability or condition which may impair their ability to complete assignments or otherwise satisfy course criteria should meet with me to identify, discuss and document any feasible instructional modifications or accommodations.  If you do need special considerations, inform me as soon as possible after a disability or condition is diagnosed, whichever occurs earliest.  For information and auxiliary assistance, contact the Disabilities Resource Center at http://ds.uncc.edu/.

 

Statement on Diversity:

The University Writing Program strives to create an academic climate that respects people of varied cultural backgrounds and life experiences. As a community of scholars and teachers who study language, literature, and writing, we are committed to nurturing intellectual and aesthetic diversity. In all our activities, we invite participation by diverse groups, including, but not limited to, those who define themselves in the following terms: race and ethnicity; gender; political orientation; sexual orientation; special health needs; age; religion; country of origin; and socio-economic status. Finally, by fostering multiple perspectives in our coursework, we can help our students prepare to participate in our increasingly diverse society, as well as in the global community. For more information on UNCC's commitment to diversity, please visit: https://diversity.uncc.edu/.

 

UNCC Withdrawal Policy:

After the Add/Drop period ends, the only way to drop one cours, multiple courses, or all courses is to withdraw. If you withdraw from a course, it will show on your transcript with the grade of W, but will not count toward your GPA. Beginning Fall 2014, there is a limit of 16 credits of W allowed for all undergraduate students. This action must be taken by the deadline indicated in the Academic Calendar. After that deadline, exceptions may be requested, but only in cases where extenuating circumstances such as serious illness can be demonstrated. Unsatisfactory academic performance itself is not an extenuating circumstance. Students should be cautious about the impact of withdrawing from one or more courses on time-to-degree, financial aid eligibility, and cost to the student. For more information on the new withdrawal policy, please contact the University Registrar or visit https://provost.uncc.edu/policies/academic/withdrawals.
