Authorized accommodation forms must be in the instructor's possession one week prior to any anticipated accommodation.

Academic Dishonesty ACADEMIC DISHONESTY Academic dishonesty is a breach of trust between a student, one’s fellow students, or the instructor(s). By registering for courses at ESF you acknowledge your awareness of the ESF Code of Student Conduct (http://www.esf.edu/students/handbook/StudentHB.05.p df ), in particular academic dishonesty includes but is not limited to plagiarism and cheating, and other forms of academic misconduct. The Academic Integrity Handbook contains further information and guidance (http://www.esf.edu/students/integrity/). Infractions of the academic integrity code may lead to academic penalties as per the ESF Grading Policy (http://www.esf.edu/provost/policies/documents/Gradin gPolicy.11.12.2013.pdf). Remember…. ….these are the minimum components required by the Grading Policy and the MTP. The syllabus policy goes into effect next semester.
