Academic Integrity (University) | “The integrity of all
scholarly work is at the foundation of an academic community. Students
are expected to do their own academic work. Dishonesty in academic work,
including cheating, academic misconduct, fabrication, or plagiarism, is
unacceptable. Faculty are expected to instruct students in ways of
avoiding these forms of academic dishonesty. Faculty are also
responsible for assessing and reporting all charges of academic
dishonesty to the appropriate Dean. MU’s Academic Integrity Policy can
be found at
http://www.mansfield.edu/academic-affairs/faculty-resources/upload/Mansfield-University-Process-for-Reporting-Academic-Integrity-Violations-Rev-3-09.pdf
and the
Academic Dishonesty Form may be accessed here or from the Academic
Affairs website.” |

Students Requesting Academic and/or Access Accommodations: (University) |
“Students with documented learning
disabilities, physical challenges, mental health diagnoses, or other
significant medical conditions whose learning or participation may
be affected in this course, should meet with the Coordinator of Services
for Students with Disabilities (SSD Coordinator) in the Office of
Services for Students with Disabilities located in the Department of
Academic and Human Development (144 South Hall, Phone: 570/662-4436) for
a review of qualification for reasonable accommodations. It is
recommended that students contact the SSD Coordinator during the first
two weeks of classes or immediately upon diagnosis to ensure
accommodations are met in an efficient, appropriate, and timely manner
for the best student learning outcome. Upon qualification, the
Coordinator will arrange to provide an accommodation letter to the
professor for the identification of academic or
accessibility adjustments. You must contact the Office of Services for
Students with Disabilities to renew accommodation letters at the start
of each semester.” |
