ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: |
| |
The very nature of higher education requires that students adhere to accepted standards of academic integrity. Therefore, Pueblo Community College has adopted a policy of academic conduct as described in the Student Handbook. Violation of academic integrity may be defined to include the following: cheating, plagiarism, falsification and fabrication, abuse of academic materials, complicity in academic dishonesty, and personal misrepresentation. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the behaviors that constitute academic dishonesty. Sanctions for violating the standards of academic integrity may include warning, probation, suspension, and/or failure of the course or assignment at the discretion of the instructor. |

ADA NOTICE: |
| |
Any student eligible for and needing academic adjustments or accommodations because of a disability should inform the instructor during the first week of class and provide the instructor with a copy of the letter of accommodation at the beginning of the semester. | |
