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 On the sixth absence a student may be withdrawn from the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". These are only to be used in

cases of illnesses or family emergencies. In some cases, verification may be

required.
