Dual Credit Handbook: http://www.epcc.edu/dualcredit/Documents/Dual%20Credit%20Handbook%2010-30-12.pdf

All students should consult the instructor before dropping this course. Under the EPCC Instructor Withdraw Failing option if a student does poorly from the beginning of the course then the instructor is required to recommend the student drop the course and be placed in a regular Eastlake High School, English IV class. If the student declines, then he/she will know that their work will continue to be graded according to standard, and the grade he/she earns will remain on his/her transcript.

B. Plagiarism:

Plagiarism is the use of another person’s work or original idea without giving credit to that person. Plagiarism also includes unauthorized collaboration with another person in preparing an assignment. Examples of plagiarism include, but are not limited to:

1) copying word for word out of a book, magazine, or the internet and not giving credit to the original source

2) turning in another person’s work with your name on it3) paraphrasing too closely or changing only a few words in a sentence or

paragraph

C. Cheating:Cheating is copying another student’s work and includes: homework, class-work, or test answers. This applies whether copying is done with or without the other person’s knowledge. Cheating also includes the use of “cheat sheets” or writing information and/or answers on clothing, arms, or hands (text messaging an answer with a cell phone or other electronic device).

D. Penalties for plagiarism and cheating:

These penalties apply to all assignments, including research papers. A referral will be sent to the assistant-principals’ office for documentation of the violation. Any student who is caught cheating or plagiarizing in any way while enrolled in Dual Credit classes will be immediately reassigned to regular classes. A report will also be sent to the Academic Dean and Vice President for Student Services, EPCC. All assigned writing assignments may be checked using the Safe Assign Program.
