Student Accessibility:
If you are a student with a disability requiring classroom accommodations, and have not contacted SSD, do so in a timely manner. SSD is located in the student Services Annex, Room 175 or call SSD at (818) 947-2681 or TTD (818) 947-2680 to meet with a SSD counselor. If SSD has already sent the memo to me confirming accommodations required by students for this class, please meet with me to discuss arrangements.
Plagiarism and Student Conduct:
Plagiarism is the use of others’ words and/or ideas without clearly acknowledging their source. When you incorporate those words and ideas into your own work, you must give credit where credit is due. Plagiarism, intentional or unintentional, is considered academic dishonesty and is not tolerated. Anyone found to be plagiarizing or cheating on assignments (e.g. copying or giving answers, using ‘crib’ sheets, etc.) will (1) receive a zero (fail) on the assignment, and (2) be referred to the Vice President of Students Services for further disciplinary action, following due process. For more information, go the Writing Center website (www.lavc.edu/WCweb/plagiarism.html) and refer to the standards of STANDARDS OF STUDENT CONDUCT AND DISCIPLANARY ACTION in the current Schedule of Classes and Catalogue.
