responsibility to withdraw if you so desire.

4. Withdrawal deadline: June 24, 2003 (Tuesday)

5. Incomplete grade policy

Incomplete grade will only be granted for medical/emergency reasons. Students must have

successfully completed at least 50% of the course materials to get an incomplete.

6. Scholastic dishonesty

"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. Academic work submitted by

students shall be the result of their thought, research or self-expression. Academic work is

defined as, but not limited to, tests, quizzes, whether taken electronically or on paper; projects,

either individual or group; classroom presentations; and homework.”

The penalty for cheating in the testing center is withdrawal from class or a F grade.

7. Students with disabilities

"Each ACC campus offers support services for students with documented physical or

psychological disabilities. Students with disabilities must request reasonable accommodations

through the Office of Students with Disabilities on the campus where they expect to take the

majority of their classes. Students are encouraged to do this three weeks before the start of the

semester.” Students who are requesting accommodation must provide the instructor with a letter

of accommodation from the Office of Students with Disabilities (OSD) at the beginning of the

semester. Accommodations can only be made after the instructor receives the letter of

accommodation from OSD.”

8. Academic freedom

"Institutions of higher education are conducted for the common good. The common good

depends upon a search for truth and upon free expression. In this course the professor and

students shall strive to protect free inquiry and the open exchange of facts, ideas, and opinions.

Students are free to take exception to views offered in this course and to reserve judgment about

debatable issues. Grades will not be affected by personal views. With this freedom comes the

responsibility of civility and a respect for a diversity of ideas and opinions. This means that

students must take turns speaking, listen to others speak without interruption, and refrain from

name-calling or other personal attacks."

9. Student discipline policy

"Students at the College have the rights accorded to all persons under the Constitution to

freedom of speech, peaceful assembly, petition, and association. These rights carry with them the

responsibility for each individual to accord the same rights to others in the College community

and not to interfere with or disrupt the educational process. As willing partners in learning, it is

expected that students will comply with College rules and procedures. ACC students are

recognized as responsible persons who neither lose the rights nor escape the responsibilities of

citizenship. Enrollment in the College indicates acceptance of the rules set forth in this policy,

administered through the office of the Campus Dean of Student Services. Due process, through

an investigation and appeal process, is assured to any student involved in disciplinary action."

STUDENT SUMMARY GUIDE FOR USE OF ACC TESTING CENTERS

 

In order to ensure test integrity and adequate space for testing, the following summary guidelines have

been established; the entire guidelines are available in any Testing Center and will be issued by your

instructor via course syllabi or other verbal or written information – which you are expected to follow.

 

1. You are required to have a current ACC student I.D. and an acceptable photo I.D. in order to test.

An official fee receipt marked “Paid” may be substituted temporarily until your ACC student I.D. is

obtained. An acceptable photo I.D. includes:

A. Current Drivers License, Department of Public Safety I.D., or Department of Defense I.D.;

B. Current Resident Alien Card or Passport;

C. Digitally-produced photo from a recognized company (i.e. Sam’s Club), bearing your name;

D. A temporary ACC Testing Center photo I.D. ($5.00 fee); or

E. Accompanied by an instructor for personal I.D. (student must take test at that time).

 

2. You are required to complete the Student Test Request Form. For re-testing, you must provide the

yellow student copy from the original test. Initial and re-testing on the same day is not allowed. If

the test deadline has passed, you must also bring written permission from your instructor.

 

3. Any student suspected of and/or caught cheating (including the use of unauthorized materials during

testing) is considered scholastic dishonesty. You will be referred to the appropriate administrator.

Disciplinary actions for scholastic dishonesty range from exclusion from Testing Centers to expulsion

from ACC. You may refer to the ACC Student Handbook for disciplinary policies and procedures.

You may also be subjected to disciplinary action for behavior that significantly interferes with or

disrupts Testing Center operations.

 

4. Bring only the materials allowed by your instructor for the given test. Approved items such as English

dictionaries (non-electronic), Scantron answer sheets, and all types of paper are provided by the

Testing Centers. All other items (pagers, cell phones, laptops, purses/wallets, calculator/pencil

cases, food/tobacco items, etc.) must be stored elsewhere, in a locker, or shelved in the Testing

Center at your own risk. Children are not allowed in the Testing Centers.

 

5. You are responsible for the return of your locker key to Testing Center staff. Your property will not be

surrendered in the case of a lost key until a report is filed with Campus Police. The incident will be

reported to Student Services and a hold will be placed on your record until the key is returned or

replaced.

6. You may be assigned seating in the Testing Center. When the Testing Center is full, you will be

placed on a waiting list, issued a ticket, or be asked to line up outside the Testing Center. Only one

test is allowed per sitting; you must leave the Testing Center and begin the process again for a

second test. You may not leave the Testing Center for breaks while testing (except for a medically

verified reason), otherwise, your test must be turned in to be graded.

 

7. Testing for a grade of Incomplete requires an Incomplete Grade Form or verification from Admissions

and Records and instructor signature.

 

8. If an answer key is available, your test will be graded and you will be given your raw score. Once the

test has been scored, it cannot be reviewed or examined again in the Testing Center; contact your

instructor for feedback. Keep the yellow copy of the Student Test Request Form for the remainder of

the semester for proof you took the exam and that the grade was posted.

 

9. All exams must be turned in no later than thirty (30) minutes after closing – NO EXCEPTIONS. No

students will be admitted and no distribution of new test materials will be allowed after closing time.

Hours of operation for the Testing Centers are located at .
