Academic Integrity: The academic senate at MJC shares the original jurisdiction for conduct violations in the area of academic integrity.
"The grading of a student’s work rests on the fundamental idea that an instructor is evaluating a student’s own work, so cheating or plagiarism demonstrates a failure to complete this most basic requirement of any course. Thus a faculty member may administer academic consequences for violating the Academic Integrity Policy ranging from partial credit to an F on the assignment or exam. The instructor may also consider that a student’s violation of academic integrity should be a consideration for disciplinary measures. Disciplinary action for violating academic integrity is administered by the Student Discipline Officer under Board Policy 5500 Standards of Conduct.“
Classroom environment: Students are entitled to and deserve a classroom environment that is safe and conducive to learning. Accordingly, students are required to adhere to generally accepted procedures for handling sharps and biohazardous fluids and materials. In addition, disruptive behaviors are not permitted; this includes, but is not limited to, talking and using cell phones when not integral to the class.
Cell phones: Turn off and do not use cell phones unless their use is integral to the class. In addition, use of a cell phone for any reason during an exam will result in zero (0) points for that exam (SME Policy).
Eating and drinking are not permitted in the classrooms especially in the lab rooms.
Attendance: It is the responsibility of the student to drop a course that she/he are no longer attending. However, the instructor may drop a student after two consecutive days of non-attendance unless arrangements are made in advance. Avoid absences and leaving early.
