Academic Integrity Policy Do not expect to receive credit in this course for work you have not done yourself. You may need to get a Spanish word or phrase from a dictionary, online translator, classmate or native speaker to complete an assignment. Be prepared to tell me what any of these mean in English if you choose to use the words in your compositions, etc. Otherwise, I will assume that you are taking credit for work done by someone or something else. This is one type of violation of SGSC's academic integrity policy. Cheating on a test would be another example. If you violate this policy in this or any other SGSC course, you should expect to be reported to the Dean of Students. |

Academic Support Center The Academic Support Center (ASC) is located in Powell 216 and provides free peer tutoring to SGSC students currently enrolled in the course in which they seek assistance. ASC Tutors are fellow students who have excelled in various courses. The ASC Tutors will work with you to solve difficult problems or to understand difficult concepts, however they will not give answers, will not complete a student’s homework, and will not complete other graded assignments. The ASC will offer last-minute help for students who have read their texts, have kept current with the course material, and have put forth a genuine effort of their own. Visit www.sgc.edu/student_life/asc for information on the hours and locations of free peer tutoring. Jasmine Flores, Academic Support Center Specialist Office: Powell 216, 912-260-4415 |
