Excessive absences, unsatisfactory progress, undesirable citizenship, falsification of work, or allowing others to
copy work may serve as a basis for a failing grade and/or a dismissal from class. The college and I take
academic honesty issues very seriously. Ethical behavior and integrity inside the classroom are expected of all
Students, academic dishonesty will be dealt with according to the college's academic honesty policy, a copy of
which may be found in the 2011Orange Coast College Catalog which is available on the College’s Website.
