Cheating, lying, and stealing in any format are honor code violations. Violation of the policy which include academic dishonesty will result in a zero for the assignment and possible failure of the course. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, and lying about academic work. A student who submits the work of others, whether in whole or in part, without proper acknowledgement or permission, or who has falsified information within his own work, is in violation of the Honor Code, and is therefore subject to appropriate sanctions resulting from such a violation. The unauthorized use of publisher-supplied materials or websites that require a fee to access which are used or accessed contrary to the copyright and payment of appropriate fees is considered stealing. All instances of suspected honor code violations will be submitted to the Office of the Associate Provost for Student Academic Success. The Honor Code: "As a member of the Catawba College Community, I will uphold the value of academic honesty that grounds our institution, and I will not lie, cheat, or steal." The Pledge: "On my honor, I have not violated the Honor Code in completing this work." Academic Dishonesty Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, and lying about academic work. A student who submits the work of others, whether in whole or in part, without proper acknowledgement or permission, or who has falsified information within his own work, is in violation of the Honor Code, and is therefore subject to appropriate sanctions resulting from such a violation. VIII: Attendance Policy: Catawba professors retain the right to fail any student who is absent from 25% of class sessions. This policy is in the college catalog.

Two absences (cumulative) will result in a one letter grade deduction from the final grade after the earned points are calculated. A student who misses MGT2501 Page 4
