    Academic Integrity Statement:

    Plagiarism, cheating, and other forms of academic dishonesty are prohibited. In addition to other possible disciplinary sanctions, which may be imposed through the regular institutional procedures as a result of academic misconduct, your instructor will assign an "F" for the exercise or examination that evidences academic misconduct for the first offense and assign an "F" for the course for repeated offenses.

    Students with documented disabilities:

    If you would ordinarily seek accommodations or modifications when taking a face-to-face class on campus, you may find that taking an online class eliminates the need for any adjustments. However, you may find that some accommodations are still necessary to make your online experience fully accessible. We urge you to: 1) make sure that all aspects of this class are accessible to you - and - 2) make sure that all the accommodations you would need in a face-to-face class are appropriately addressed in this class. To discuss your specific requirements, please contact Wesley Satterwhite, Disability Services Coordinator at (828)339-4229 or wesleys@southwesterncc.edu. Information, documentation and other records provided will be maintained in a confidential manner as outlined in the Family Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974.
