Academic Honesty Policy

The full SAC Academic Honesty Policy can be found at:  https://www.sac.edu/StudentServices/AdmissionsRecords/Pages/Academic-Honesty-Policy-.aspxLinks to an external site.

Introduction

Students at Santa Ana College are expected to be honest and forthright in their academic endeavors. To falsify the results of one’s research, to steal the words or ideas of another, or to cheat on an examination, corrupts the essential process by which knowledge is advanced. Academic dishonesty is seen as an intentional act of fraud, in which a student seeks to claim credit for the work or efforts of another without authorization, or uses unauthorized materials or fabricated information in any academic exercise. As institutions, we also consider academic dishonesty to include forgery of academic documents, intentionally impeding or damaging the academic work of others, assisting other students in acts of dishonesty or coercing students into acts of dishonesty.

Procedures

In cases where a violation of academic honesty is discovered, the faculty member is encouraged to file an “Academic Misconduct Incident Report” form and distribute the form to the appropriate offices listed.

There are two categories of sanctions: Limited and College-wide.

Limited sanctions include an academic action such as assigning a lower grade or a grade of “F” for the assignment, project, or test. College-wide sanctions include any sanction that will affect a student’s standing with the college-at-large, up to and including suspension or expulsion from the College.

In matters relating to academic honesty viol​ations, the primary responsibility for disciplinary proceedings rests with the instructor and the academic division where the violation allegedly occurred.

WGSN Policy

Free access for SAC students through the SAC library websiteLinks to an external site.(Links to an external site.):Links to an external site. https://libguides.sac.edu/az.php

Students are allowed to use WGSN templates for assignments, as long as the template is significantly changed.

A template is considered to be significantly changed if it is changed by 30% or more.

This means that the student must make changes to the content, structure, and/or format of the template in order to avoid plagiarism or academic honesty policy violations. Please ensure you are familiar with the Santa Ana College Academic Honesty PolicyLinks to an external site..

Attendance Policy

In accordance with the college drop policy, students who do not access the class course site and submit the “first assignments” by the due date may be dropped as a no show.

Students who fail to turn in any one of the listed weekly assignments will be considered “absent” and may be dropped from the class for “excessive absence.” If two weeks of non-participation is observed by the instructor the student will be dropped.

Students are responsible to officially drop the class or they will receive a letter grade based on their performance.

No Show Drop: In this course, you must complete all of the module one activities by Sunday of the first week of classes or you will be dropped as a “No Show”:

If two weeks of non-participation is observed by the instructor the student will be dropped.

Preparation

• This course is geared for students who are self-directed, manage their time and have basic computer skills.

• It is mandatory to be able to use the Internet and type all assignments.

• Complete our “SAC Student Canvas Training”, on your Canvas dashboard. It will familiarize you with Canvas and give you practice with the necessary skills that you will use in our course.

Expectations

This is a college level course. Many students expect that an online course will be easier, or entail less time. This is not true. This online class will take just as much time as a traditional classroom course. College credits are based on the Carnegie Unit, the structure of the US Education system, for a system of “units”. One semester unit represents one lecture hour of required classroom time and two hours of student preparation time. Thus, our three unit course requires, 3 lecture hours  and 6 hours of student preparation, or approximately 9 hours total, per week that you will need to spend on this course.
