POLICIES 61 academic purpose that has been done solely for that course or for that purpose. If a student wishes to submit the same or similar work for any other course or for any other academic purpose within the college, prior written permission of the instructor of the course in which the assignment is being submitted must be obtained. Any student intentionally aiding another student in any infraction of the academic honesty policy is considered equally responsible. Faculty reserve the right to establish course-level policies in conjunction with, and in addition to, the stated academic honesty policy, provided that these policies are clearly delineated in the course syllabus. An infraction of academic honesty remains on a student's disciplinary record for seven years. Procedures for dealing with infractions of the academic honesty policy follow. First Infraction The faculty member will give the student a "0" or its equivalent on the academic activity in question. The faculty member will notify the student and explain the reason for the grade. This action could result in a lower final grade. The appropriate dean will be informed of the infraction in writing and the vice president of student services or designee will notify the student in writing of the consequences and implications of this infraction. Second Infraction The faculty member will give the student an "0" on the paper, examination, or presentation in question. A second infraction of the academic honesty policy, either in the same course or in another course, will also result in an automatic "F" in the course in which the second infraction occurred. Upon written notification from the appropriate dean that an academic honesty infraction occurred, and a determination is made that a second infraction has occurred, the vice president of student services or designee make the faculty member aware that a second infraction has occurred. The vice president of student services or designee will notify the registrar that the student is to receive an "F" for the course. The student will be barred from further class participation. In cases where the second infraction occurs in the same course, the faculty member will notify the student and explain the reason for the "F" in the course; otherwise, the vice president of student services or designee will notify the student of the "F" in the course. The vice president of student services or designee will meet with the student involved and apprise the student of the implication of this second infraction. Third Infraction The faculty member shall give the student a "0" on the paper, examination, or presentation in question. The faculty member will notify the student and explain the reason for the grade. A third infraction of the academic honesty policy will also result in an automatic "F" in the course in which the third infraction occurred. Upon notification from the appropriate dean that an academic honesty infraction occurred and a determination is made that a third infraction has occurred, the vice president of student services or designee will notify the student of the "F" for the course and make the faculty member aware that a third infraction has occurred.
