Academic Conduct and Consequences

"The classroom is an educational learning environment where students are expected to engage in behaviors which are conducive to their own learning and the learning of their peers. To facilitate this, respect for self and others is mandatory and necessary. Should a student exhibit disruptive behavior and/or use profane language to the extent that it interferes with the learning environment, an academic consequence may be imposed. Any student found by a faculty member to have committed academic misconduct may be subject to the following academic consequences:

Warning – A notice in writing to the student that the student has violated the academic code.

Grade Adjustment – Lowering of a score on a test or assignment.

Discretionary Sanctions – Additional academic assignments determined by the faculty member.

Course Failure – Failure of a student from a course where academic misconduct occurs.

Further information can be found in the SCC Student Handbook, Academic Misconduct 2.3.11"
