Academic Dishonesty
Academic dishonesty includes practices such as plagiarism, cheating on tests, examinations and assignments. Academic dishonesty may result in the suspension of online privileges.

Plagiarism
When you borrow another writer's words and/ or ideas and include them in your work, you must acknowledge this whether it is a direct quotation or a restatement of an idea. Failure to do so is a form of academic dishonesty known as plagiarism and will result in a mark of zero for the work submitted.

Late Policy

If you know that you will not be able to meet a given due date, contact your teacher in advance of the final deadline to request an extension. Once the final deadline has arrived, extensions will be granted for extenuating circumstances only.
