• 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"Ā¯ 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.

• 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.

• Reliable Internet access is required for all online courses and many traditional courses.

• No blue tooth technology or recording of lectures in any format (unless approved by the instructor).
  
  
• 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 else'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"Ā¯ on the assignment. If a second incidence occurs, both students will be given a final grade of "F" for the course.
  
  

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.
