Universal Citation: WA Admin Code 495D-121-540
Current through Register Vol. 24-24, December 15, 2024
(1) Honest assessment of student performance is of crucial importance to all members of the academic community. The college views acts of dishonesty as serious breaches of honor and will deal with them using the following:
(a) College administration and faculty will
provide reasonable and prudent security measures designed to minimize
opportunities for acts of academic dishonesty.
(b) Any student who, for the purpose of
fulfilling any assignment or task required by a faculty member as part of the
student's program of instruction, shall knowingly tender any work product that
the student fraudulently represents to the faculty member as the student's work
product, shall be deemed to have committed an act of academic dishonesty. Acts
of academic dishonesty are cause for disciplinary action.
(c) Any student who aids or abets an act of
academic dishonesty, as described in (b) of this subsection, may be subject to
disciplinary action.
(d) Faculty
may adjust the student's grade on a particular project, paper, test, or class
for academic dishonesty. This section shall not be construed as preventing a
faculty from taking immediate disciplinary action when they must act upon such
breach of academic dishonesty to preserve order and prevent disruptive conduct
in the classroom.
(2) Instructors have the authority to take whatever summary actions necessary to maintain order and proper conduct in the classroom and to maintain the effective cooperation of the class in fulfilling the course objectives.
(a) Any student who, by any act of
misconduct, substantially disrupts a class by engaging in conduct that renders
it difficult or impossible to maintain the decorum of the faculty's class is
subject to disciplinary action.
(b)
The faculty of each course, or the managing authority of distance learning
courses, can take steps as necessary to preserve order and to maintain the
effective cooperation of the class in fulfilling the course objectives, given
that a student shall have the right to appeal the disciplinary action to the
faculty's supervisor.
