Scholastic Dishonesty Policy:? “Acts prohibited by the college for which discipline may be administered include scholastic dishonesty, including but not limited to cheating on an exam or quiz, plagiarizing, and unauthorized collaboration with another in preparing outside work.?

Students are encouraged to do this three weeks prior to the start of the semester.”(see Student Handbook)Freedom of Expression Policy:? “Each student is strongly encouraged to participate in class.? In any classroom situation that includes discussion and critical thinking, there are bound to be many differing viewpoints.? These differences enhance the learning experience and create an atmosphere where students and instructors alike will be encouraged to think and learn.? On sensitive and volatile topics, students may sometimes disagree not only with each other but also with the instructor.? It is expected that faculty and students will respect the views of others when expressed in classroom discussions.”RULE OF THREE:? Per state law, effective spring 2006 any student taking a class for the third time or more may be charged an additional $60 per credit hour unless exempted. We call it the Rule of Three.The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has mandated that all publicly funded higher-education institutions will not receive funding for courses a student takes for the third time or more. Without the state funding for those affected classes, ACC will charge additional tuition to pay for the cost of the class. The new “Rule of Three” tuition costs will not apply to developmental courses, Continuing Education courses, special-studies courses in which the content changes each time, or other select courses. For additional information go to affected by this policy should note the following:This policy affects class enrollments beginning with the fall 2002 semester (Aug. 2002). Financial aid may be used to cover the additional tuition charge. If you are taking a class for the second time and are considering a third attempt in the future, consult with your instructor and/or advisor. ACC is here to help you succeed. Appeals for waivers will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the relevant Dean of Student Services at each campus.ADDITIONAL STUDENT CONTACTThe Texas Coordinating Board requires an additional student contact with the instructor.? The student will be responsible to contact the instructor in person, by phone, or by email during the semester.??CHAPTER OBJECTIVES:?
