Attendance Policy
Students must attend class regularly. The school's regular attendance policy will also apply to Senior to Sophomore students participating in joint-enrollment courses for college credit.

Because college-level work requires a great deal of in-class lecture and study, poor attendance on the part of the student can adversely affect the student's Senior to Sophomore class grade.

Grading
Georgia Southern University gives grades of A through F to report each students' academic success in the course. Senior to Sophomore class grades are based on Georgia Southern's standards.

After consulting the University faculty liaison, a Senior to Sophomore instructor may choose to give a student two different grades for the course, indicating how well the student achieved course goals for the high school course and Georgia Southern course. The student's official college transcript will reflect only the Georgia Southern course grade.

Cheating and Plagiarism
The complete Student Conduct Code can be found online. Senior to Sophomore students who are enrolled in Georgia Southern University courses will be held to the same standards of academic honesty as all other Georgia Southern University students. As detailed in the Student Conduct Code, cheating or plagiarism is academic dishonesty that will not be tolerated by University administrators.

CHEATING
A. submitting material that is not yours as part of your course performance;
B. using information or devices that are not allowed by the faculty;
C. obtaining and/or using unauthorized materials;
D. fabricating information, research, and/or results;
E. violating procedures prescribed to protect the integrity of an assignment, test, or other evaluation;
F. collaborating with others on assignments without the faculty's consent;
G. cooperating with and/or helping another student to cheat;
H. demonstrating any other forms of dishonest behavior.

PLAGIARISM
A. directly quoting the words of others without using quotation marks or indented format to identify them;
B. using sources of information (published or unpublished) without identifying them;
C. paraphrasing materials or ideas without identifying the source;
D. unacknowledged use of materials prepared by another person or agency engaged in the selling of term papers or other academic material.

A student cannot drop a course in order to avoid being charged with academic dishonesty.
