College
Policy on Class Attendance: ATTENDANCE Courses at Abraham
Baldwin Agricultural College are provided for the intellectual growth and
development of students. The
interaction with instructors and other students is an important element of
the learning process, and a high correlation exists between class attendance
and course grades. Therefore to attain maximum success, students should
attend all their classes, be on time, and attend all scheduled course
activities. Absence from class, for whatever reason, does not excuse a
student from full responsibility for class work or assignments missed. Students must accept this responsibility. Individual instructors will establish attendance
policies for each class, will publish the policy in the course syllabus, and
keep attendance records. The penalty for absences is at the discretion of the
instructor and may include failure of the course. Whenever a student is absent, the student
must assume responsibility for making arrangements for any assignments missed
due to the absence. A student who stops attending class
without officially withdrawing will still receive a grade for the
course. A student penalized for excessive absences
may appeal through the grade appeal process, as stated in ABAC’s college
catalog and student handbook. INSTITUTIONAL ABSENCE A student who
serves as an official representative of the college is defined as one who: - is authorized to use the college
name in public relationships outside the institution; - regularly interacts with
non-college individuals and groups over an extended period of time (at least one semester); - represents the college as a part
of a group and not as an individual; - represents the college under the
direct supervision of a college faculty or staff member; - is authorized, in advance, by the
President of the college. Such a student is in no way released
from the obligations and responsibilities of all students, but will not be
penalized with unexcused absences when absences result from regularly
scheduled activities in which he/she represents the college. Further, it is the responsibility of
each student to contact instructors prior to the absence and to make
arrangements to make up any work that will be missed, in a manner acceptable
to the instructor. Advisors of activities will schedule off-campus activities
in a manner that does not unduly disrupt the learning process for a student. http://www.abac.edu/catalog/2009_2010/AcademicPolicy.pdf |

College
Policy on Academic Dishonesty: ACADEMIC CONDUCT CODE A. Academic Dishonesty Academic
irregularities include, but are not limited to, giving or receiving of
unauthorized assistance in the preparation of any academic assignment; taking
or attempting to take, stealing, or otherwise obtaining in an unauthorized manner
any material pertaining to the education process; selling, giving, lending,
or otherwise furnishing to any person any question and/or answers to any
examination known to be scheduled at any subsequent date; fabricating,
forging, or falsifying lab or clinical results; plagiarism in any form
related to themes, essays, term papers, tests, and other assignments;
breaching any confidentiality regarding patient information. B. Disciplinary Procedures 1.
When a faculty member suspects that a
student has engaged in academic dishonesty, the faculty member will contact
the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. The Vice President for Academic Affairs
will notify the student in writing of the report and will appoint a neutral
person from among the faculty or staff to meet with the faculty member who
reported the matter and the student(s) believed to have engaged in academic
dishonesty. The purpose of the
meeting, to be scheduled by the Office of the Vice President for Academic
Affairs, will be to provide a facilitated discussion about what may have
occurred. The faculty member who
reported the matter, the student(s) believed to have engaged in academic
dishonesty, and the facilitator are the only participants in the
meeting. Neither audio nor video
recordings of these proceedings will be permitted. Following the discussion, the facilitator
will submit a form summarizing results of the proceedings to the Office of
the Vice President for Academic Affairs. 2.
The faculty member and student(s) may
reach an agreement about the matter and, if dishonesty is involved, may
determine the appropriate consequences.
If no resolution is agreed upon, the matter will be forwarded to the
Dean of Student Life and Housing, who will convene the Student Judiciary
Committee to determine the outcome of the allegation. 3.
Guidelines for disciplinary procedures
as outlined in Section V of the Student Code of Conduct will be applicable in
cases involving alleged academic dishonesty.
A written copy of the recommendations by the Student Judiciary
Committee shall be sent not only to the student but also to the faculty
member who made the allegations of academic dishonesty against the student,
to the Vice President for Academic Affairs, and to the President. 4.
Prior to any finding of responsibility
on the part of the student, the faculty member shall permit the student to
complete all required academic work and shall evaluate and grade all work
except the assignment(s) involved in the accusation of dishonesty. The faculty member may, however, take any
action reasonably necessary to collect and preserve evidence of the alleged
violation and to maintain or restore the integrity of exam or laboratory
conditions. 5.
A student may not withdraw from a
course to avoid penalty of plagiarism or other forms of academic dishonesty. http://www.abac.edu/catalog/2009_2010/AcademicPolicy.pdf |
