Academic Honor Code

All students are covered by the Trinity University Honor Code that prohibits dishonesty in academic work. The Code asserts that the academic community is based on honesty and trust, and defines specific violations as well as the procedure to determine if a violation has occurred. The Code also covers the process of hearings for alleged violations and the various sanctions applied for specific violations. The Code also provides for an appeal process. The Code is implemented by the Academic Honor Council. Under the Code, a faculty member will (or a student may) report an alleged violation to the Academic Honor Council. It is the task of the Council to collect the pertinent evidence, adjudicate, and assign a sanction within certain guidelines if a violation has been verified. Students who are under the Honor Code are required to pledge all written work that is submitted for a grade: "On my honor, I have neither given nor received any unauthorized assistance on this work" and their signature. The pledge may be abbreviated "pledged" with a signature. The specifics of the Honor Code, its underlying philosophy, and the norms for sanctioning can all be found on the Academic Honor Council website, accessed through the Trinity Homepage.

NOTES:

1. Regular class attendance is required. Role will be taken and attendance is considered mandatory. One point will be awarded for each class attendance and one point will be deducted for each unexcused absence. These points will be included in the calculation of your final averages as described above in the section on "grading." Excessive absences will be reported to you and to appropriate university officials and may cause you to be withdrawn from the class. Excused absences require a note from the appropriate university offical or from appropriate medical personnel.

2. Homework assignments that are identical beyond coincidence are in violation of the Academic Integrity policy of the university and will result in disciplinary action, including, but not limited to a failing grade on that assignment for all parties involved. You are responsible for the security of your work, both electronic and hard copy.

3. Discussion of the homework assignments between students is encouraged, but when it comes time for the final submission, make sure it is your own work. You are cheating yourself if you get the homework from some source other than creating your own.

4. Homework will be due at the beginning of the class period on the day assigned. LATE WORK WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. Make sure you resolve problems with printing, workstations, communication, etc. IN ADVANCE so your work may be submitted in a timely manner. Homework will NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR CREDIT if submitted late. Those of you who submit work late penalize the conscientious students who turn in their work on time.

5. The only exceptions to these policies are for University sanctioned activities or illness and require a note from your supervising professor (coach) or doctor. If you have unusual circumstances (as we all sometimes do) please discuss these with your instructor in advance.
