Although students can access the course at a time that is convenient for them, they are expected to log on regularly and consistently. Students should meet all deadlines per the syllabus and/or pacing guide and notify the instructor in advance as quickly as possible when extenuating circumstances arise that prohibit the student from participating in the class or meeting an expected deadline. Students are to communicate with their instructor through the various methods available and posted in the course material. Intellectual Honesty and Plagiarism Expectations: Students are expected to do their OWN work at ALL times. Any acts of intellectual dishonesty, such as having someone else complete work, or plagiarizing a source will not be tolerated. On the first infraction, the student will receive a 0 on the assignment and the teacher will notify the student, parent, and home school via , informing them that if the student plagiarizes again, he/she may be withdrawn from the course with an F. If a second act of plagiarism is committed, the teacher will first contact the GCVSP administration. Then, the teacher will notify the student that he/she may be withdrawn from the course with an F (Withdrawn Failing = WF). The teacher is responsible for communicating with the student, parent, and home school via regarding these decisions. The GCVSP administration may review and withdraw the student from the course with an F for a violation deemed appropriate for course removal, including but not limited to, academic integrity or student conduct violations. The student may not take another course during the academic school year in which the violation occurred.
