Their mission is to enhance the success of career-minded administrative professionals by providing opportunities for growth through education, community building and leadership development. There will be opportunities throughout the semester for you to participate in (and earn extra credit for) events sponsored by the local chapter of IAAP.Plagiarism/CheatingFor assignments, you may get help from someone else (roommate, family member, classmate) as long as it is minimal. Letting someone else do the work for you or copying an assignment from another source is cheating. Anyone found to be cheating will, at minimum, receive a zero for that assignment, at maximum, receive an F for the semester and the incident will be reported to the Dean. The complete policy can be found at the following - the ten-day roster, I am required to assess your attendance. If you have not attended regularly to that point, you will be dropped with no refund of tuition or fees. After the ten-day roster, you should not plan on an instructor withdrawal if you want to withdraw from the course. You are ultimately responsible for your own withdrawal by the withdrawal date. Non-attendance after the ten-day roster will result in an F if you do not withdraw yourself. Cells PhonesTurn your cell phones to vibrate. In the event of a significant campus emergency, many cell phones will vibrate at the same time. This is the only acceptable time to look at or use your phone during puter Use During ClassInternet surfing (e-mail, Facebook, Google, etc.), game playing, outside of class assignments, etc. are not allowed during class time.
