Solution
Academic Integrity
6
Academic honesty is of utmost importance at AUD, as described in the Student Handbook.
Students are expected to demonstrate academic integrity by completing their own work,
assignments and other assessment exercises. Submission of work from another person,
whether it is from printed sources or someone other than the student; previously graded
papers; papers submitted without proper citations; or submitting the same paper to multiple
courses without the knowledge of all instructors involved can result in a failing grade.
Incidents involving academic dishonesty will be reported to university officials for
appropriate sanctions.
Furthermore, students must always submit work that represents their original words or
ideas. If any words or ideas used in a class posting or assignment submission do not
represent the student’s original words or ideas, all relevant sources must be cited along
with the extent to which such sources were used. Words or ideas that require citation
include, but are not limited to, all hard copy or electronic publications, whether copyrighted
or not, and all verbal or visual communication when the content of such communication
clearly originates from an identifiable source.
Students are to bring photo identification to the exams. Possession of cell phones and any
other electronic devices during exams may result in an automatic failing grade (“F”) for the
exam. All phones, etc. will be collected before each exam. During the exams, spot checks
may be conducted where the instructor and/or invigilator may inspect students’ writing
utensils, hands, water bottles, tissues or anything in the students’ possession.
Make-up
SBA Undergraduate Exam’s make up policy.
There will be no make-up examinations or presentations for students absent on the
assigned dates for these events, except in extreme cases of illness upon legitimate
documentation. Accepting the documents is at the discretion of the professor.
Scheduled class meetings that do not take place because of declared holidays, instructor
illness or any unforeseen circumstances will be rescheduled by the University or the
instructor. These make up class sessions will be scheduled during the Study/Make-up
period allotted at the end of the semester, or by arrangement with the instructor. Any class
activity (lecture, exam, class presentation, etc.) that cannot be performed because of such
class cancellations will take place during the first class meeting held after reconvening, in
order to preserve the order of the class schedule as much as possible.
No make-up or late submission will be permitted for late projects, assignments, case
studies, quizzes, or presentations under any circumstances.
Students with Special Needs
A student with documentation of disabilities and in need of special accommodations during
class sessions or exams should contact AUD’s Student Services Office for assessments. It
is the responsibility of the student (and not the faculty member) to contact the office for an
interview and assessment. Any approved special accommodations or adaptations will be
coordinated between Student Services and the faculty member.
Classroom Atmosphere
7
As a courtesy to others, cell phones and any similar electronic devices must be silenced or
turned off so that they will not disturb the class. Students who violate this policy or who are
otherwise disruptive may be told to leave the classroom. YOUR CELL PHONE MUST BE
TURNED OFF AND PUT AWAY DURING CLASS.
Possession of cell phones and the like during tests will result in an automatic failing grade
(“F”) for the test. All phones, etc. will be collected before each test.
