Students are required to read assignments, to follow directions, to meet deadlines, to participate fully in class activities, and to complete all projects.

As responsible members of an educational community, students must conduct themselves courteously and in accordance with college policy at all times both face to face and on line. Respectful dialogue including alternative viewpoints is welcome in academic inquiry, where opinions are invited and evidence expected.

Students must do their own original work for their classes. Collaborative work and group activities require complete participation of all members of the group and acknowledgment of the collaboration. When outside sources are appropriate, these sources must be attributed fully and accurately using current documentation formats specified by the professor. Students are responsible for finding out the correct way to attribute work from contributors and sources. Cheating or plagiarism, which is the accidental or intentional misrepresentation of another's work as one's own, may lead to failure in the course. See the TCC Student Handbook for additional information on academic honesty and academic misconduct.
