LSUS is committed to making students with disabilities full participants in its programs, services, and activities. University policy calls for reasonable accommodations to be made for students with disabilities on an individual and flexible basis. However, it is the responsibility of the students to make their needs known. If you have a documented disability that impacts your academic work and for which you require accommodations, please see me or the Coordinator of Services to Students with Disabilities (ADM 220, Phone 797-5365) so that such accommodations may be arranged.

STUDENT CONDUCT

LSUS has the responsibility to protect its educational purposes and the health and safety of the university community through the setting of standards of scholarship and conduct for its students. Students are responsible for knowing and complying with the provisions of the LSUS Code of Student Conduct, particularly those pertaining to plagiarism and academic dishonesty. (Refer to the LSUS Student Handbook.)

All instances of academic misconduct (e.g. cheating, plagiarism) must be reported to the Office of Student Affairs. If a student is found guilty of academic misconduct, he or she could face loss of credit for the work and/or the course involved, probation, and/or separation from the university as determined by the Student Conduct Board. See the current Student Handbook for the complete "Student Code of Conduct."

All students at LSUS are required to have a copy of Understanding Plagiarism, the university guide to defining, understanding, and avoiding plagiarism. This booklet is available at the LSUS Bookstore.

ELECTRONIC DEVICES

Student use of electronic devices that are not part of a course’s instructional activities disrupt the learning environment and must be turned off during class time. These prohibited devices include, but not limited to, cell phones, pagers, wireless e mail receivers, music players, and laptop computers. Any exception to this policy must be approved by the instructor in advance.
