Academic Honesty All students are responsible for maintaining the highest standards of honesty and integrity in every phase of their academic careers. The penalties for academic dishonesty is severe and ignorance is not an acceptable defense. Students should pay particular attention to sections 5 and 7 of the academic honesty statement at www.uga.edu/ovpi/academic_honesty/culture_honesty.htm Attendance Policy Students are allowed no more than 5 absences including both excused and unexcused absences. On the sixth absence a student may be withdrawn from the course with a grade of W or WF (definitely WF after midpoint). Do not regard these 5 allowed absences as "personal free days".
