• No food or tobacco products are allowed in the classroom.
  
  
• Only students enrolled in the course are allowed in the classroom, except by special instructor permission.
  
  
• Electronic devices (including but not restricted to cell phones, MP3 players, and laptop computers) shall not be used during examinations unless specifically allowed by the instructor.
  
  
• Use of electronic devices during normal class hours distracts other students, disrupts the class, and wastes valuable time. Instructors have an obligation to reduce such disruptions.
  
  
• Turn your cellphones to vibrate when you enter the classroom.
  
  
• I will not discuss your grades over the phone or by e-mail. If you want to discuss your grades, you must come to my office, in person.
  
  
  
  Academic Policies
  
  
• If you miss an exam, your lowest test grade will count twice. If you miss more than one exam, those exams will be given a grade of zero.
  
  
• Students must leave the classroom after exam is finished.
  
  
• There will be a comprehensive final exam. All students must take the exam on the scheduled date and time, and failure to do so will result in a “0” on the final exam.
  
  
• Every student MUST have a copy of the required textbooks by the second week of class. No sharing textbooks during class. The student will still be responsible for any assignments given. Failure to have a text may result in being dropped from the class.
  
  
• Students are responsible for completing all assigned reading.
  
  
• A failure to follow oral and/or written instructions will result in penalties.
  
  
• Late work will be assessed a five-point penalty for each day late. Late work will be accepted for up to five days after the original due date. After the five-day period, no work will be accepted.
  
  
• Academic dishonesty will result in a zero on any academic work or exam in question; a second incidence of academic dishonesty on any academic work or exam in question will result in the student being given an “F” for the course.
  
  
• Student IDs are required for the first exam. IDs must be visible on your desk before the exam is administered--no ID, no exam.
  
  
• Students should keep a record of their grades/average. Instructor(s) will not average grades for students. Instructors do not drop grades.
  
  
• Extra credit may be assigned at the discretion of the instructor.
  
  
  
  Statement of Academic Integrity
  
  
• A student attending LSCPA assumes responsibility for conduct compatible with the mission of the college as an educational institution.
  
  
• Students have the responsibility to submit coursework that is the result of their own thought, research, or self-expression.
  
  
• There is no tolerance for plagiarism or academic dishonesty in any form, including unacknowledged “borrowing” of proprietary material, copying answers or papers, fabrication, collusion, falsifying documents, using crib sheets, unauthorized help during exams, or passing off someone else’s work as one’s own.
  
  
• Students must follow all instructions given by faculty or designated college representatives when taking examinations, placement assessments, tests, quizzes, and evaluations.
  
  
  
  Withdrawal Policy:
  
  
• It is the responsibility of each student to ensure that his or her name is removed from the roll should he or she decides to withdraw from the class. The instructor does, however, reserve the right to drop a student should he or she feel it is necessary.
  
  
• If a student decides to withdraw, he or she should also verify that the withdrawal is submitted before the final withdrawal date.
  
  
• The student is also strongly encouraged to retain their copy of the withdrawal form for their records.
  
  
• The student is required to turn in any equipment or items that belong to the department. Failure to do so may compromise their standing with LSCPA.
  
  
• State law permits students to withdraw from no more than six courses during their entire undergraduate career at Texas public colleges or universities. With certain exceptions, all course withdrawals automatically count towards this limit. Details regarding this policy can be found in the LSCPA college catalog.
  
  
  
  Software Requirements:
  
  
• If you are in a course that is using a specific software, you MUST have the software available to you--either on your home computer or you must use the open lab provided in the Gates Library.
  
  
• Reliable Internet access is required for all online courses and many traditional courses.
  
  
• Computer failure and lack of internet access are not acceptable excuses for missed assignments, projects, quizzes, or exams. DO NOT wait until the “last minute” to complete class work or exams.
  
  
  
  Classroom Etiquette:
  
  
• The following behaviors will result in the student being asked during class time to cease the action and/or leave the classroom: using cell phones, talking, or keying while the instructor is giving instructions or during class discussions; leaving class early without informing the instructor; surfing the Internet during lecture; and displaying a rude or negative behavior toward the instructor or other students.
  
  
• No cell phones should be visible or heard during class. Again, you may be asked to leave the room for the remainder of the class. No blue tooth technology or recording of lectures in any format (unless approved by the instructor). No charging of cell phones in the classroom.
  
  
  
  E-Mail/Voice Mail Etiquette:
  
  
• Students must use appropriate e-mail etiquette when corresponding with instructor; for example, complete sentences and a full subject line with your name/course name. Voice mail messages should be clearly spoken identifying student’s name, course, and any return phone number.
  
  
  
  LAB ASSIGNMENTS
  
  
• For each assignment, students must complete the entire lesson (file) on their own. Students are never allowed to use anyone’s USB or file but their own, or work together. Students should never lend their file to another student nor should a student have any other students work in their possession for any reason. If a student uses another student’s files, both students are considered guilty of cheating. If caught cheating, the students will get a “0” on the assignment. If a second incidence occurs, both students will be given a final grade of “F” for the course.
  
  
  
  Software Requirements:
  
  
• If you are in an online course that requires a specific software, you also MUST have a copy of the software available either on your own computer or you must make arrangements to use the open lab provided on campus. Do not sign up to take an online course if you do not have the correct software.
  
  
• Reliable Internet access is required for all online courses and many traditional courses.
  
  
• Computer failure and lack of internet access are NOT acceptable excuses for missed assignments, projects, quizzes, or exams. DO NOT wait until the “last minute” to complete class work or exams.
  
  

Circumstances under which information may be released:

An adult student may submit, to the Registrar, a handwritten, signed note granting permission for release of information. The note must specify what information may be divulged, and it must specify the name of the person to whom the information may be given.

A parent or guardian may be given access to information about a student by providing a copy of a filed tax return that shows that the student was listed as a dependent of that parent or guardian. The tax return must be for last complete tax year. Again, this documentation must be submitted to the Registrar’s Office.

A parent or guardian may be given access to information about a student if the student logs on to My.LamarPA.edu and sends an email to the Registrar granting permission. The email must specify what information may be given and the name of the person to whom it may be given.

Co-enrollment students are protected by the same privacy laws as adult students.

The Registrar’s office is located in the Student Center room 303B, and can be reached at (409) 984-6165.
