Prim Library Resources
Using
the library’s resources effectively (not just Internet resources) contributes
to developing each of SNC’s core themes by exposing students to high quality
academic resources, diverse opinions, new ideas, and a future that includes
building on a liberal arts education. In
this course, you will be expected to utilize the library’s resources (either
on-site or remotely) as you complete your assignments.
Sanctions
for Cheating and/or Plagiarism
The Honor
Code
To
copy another person’s art or photography is also plagiarism. Photographs may be
used as reference tools only. It is
illegal to copy a photograph in its entirety and claim it as your work. If the resource can be identified in your
work, it is plagiarism and it is illegal.
The faculty of SNC
believes students must be held to high standards of integrity in all aspects of
college life in order to promote the educational mission of the College and to
encourage respect for the rights of others. Each student brings to the SNC
community unique skills, talents, values and experiences which, when expressed
within the community, contribute to the quality of the educational environment
and the growth and development of the individual. Students share with members
of the faculty, administration and staff the responsibility for creating and
maintaining an environment conducive to learning and personal development,
where actions are guided by mutual respect, integrity, responsibility and
trust. The faculty and students alike must make diligent efforts to ensure high
standards are upheld by their colleagues and peers as well as themselves.
Therefore faculty and students accept responsibility for maintaining these
standards at Sierra Nevada College and are obligated to comply with its
regulations and procedures, which they are expected to read and understand.
Consequences
of Violating the Student Honor Code
SNC
students and faculty share the responsibility for maintaining an environment of
academic honesty. Thus, all are
responsible for knowing and abiding by the SNC Faculty/Student Honor Code
published in the current SNC Catalog.
Faculty are responsible for presenting the Honor Code and the
consequences of violating it to students at the start of their classes AND for
reporting all incidences of academic dishonesty to the Provost. Students are responsible for knowing what
constitutes CHEATING, PLAGIARISM and FABRICATION and for refraining from these
and other forms of academic dishonesty.
Violations of the Honor Code become part of a student’s academic record.
1st Offense:
Student receives a zero for assignment/exam and
counseling with faculty on the honor code, consequences for violating
the honor code, and the value of academic honesty in learning.
2nd Offense:
Student fails course and receives counseling with faculty on the honor code,
consequences for violating the honor code, and the value of academic honesty in
learning.
3rd Offense:
Student is expelled.
ADA Accommodations
In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section
504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, students with a documented disability
are eligible for support services and accommodations. If a student wishes to
request an accommodation, please contact the Director of Academic Support
Services, Henry Conover, at (775) 831-1314 x7534, hconover@sierranevada.edu, office
in Prim Library: PL-304.
The SNC
Email System
The SNC email system is the official
communication vehicle among students, faculty members and administrative staff and is designed to protect the confidentiality
of student information as required by the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 Act (FERPA). Students should
check their college email accounts daily during the school year.
Students have a right to forward their SNC e-mail to
another e-mail account (for example, @hotmail or @gmail). However,
confidentiality of student information protected by FERPA cannot be guaranteed
for SNC e-mail forwarded to an outside vendor. Having email redirected does not
absolve a student from the responsibilities associated with official
communication sent to his or her SNC email account.
