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 .
