of academic dishonesty, the instructor or other personnel may elect to bring
the matter up for judicial review. The maximum penalty for any form of academic
dishonesty is dismissal from the College. The procedures for judicial review
are listed under the section of CCSJ handbook that addresses student

Citation
Guidelines:
Calumet College of St. Joseph adheres to citation guidelines
as prescribed by the particular discipline (i.e., MLA, APA, and Chicago Manual
of Style or Turabian.). All of these
guidelines are available in the Calumet College of St. Joseph library or
bookstore. These texts outline how to
cite references from a variety of sources, including electronic media.
Withdrawal
from Classes Policy:
After the last day for class changes has passed (see College
calendar), students may withdraw from a course in which they are registered
with permission from the faculty member conducting the course. A written request
detailing the reason(s) for the withdrawal must be filed with the Registrar.
Written request for withdrawal must be received by the Registrar by the last
day of classes prior to the final examination dates specified in the catalogue.
Written requests may be mailed to the Registrar or faxed to the College fax
number 219-473-4259. Students are to make note of the refund schedule when
withdrawing from courses. The request is forwarded to the faculty member, who
makes the final determination to accept or deny the request. If the request is
honored, the student will receive notification of official withdrawal; if
denied, the notification will indicate why the withdrawal is disallowed. Note:
Degree Completion Division (DCD) students should consult the DCD Student
Handbook for information on DCD withdrawals.
An official withdrawal is recorded as a "W" grade
on the student's transcript. Dropping a course without written permission
automatically incurs an "F" grade for the course (see Refund
Schedule).
