If an instructor or other Calumet College of St. Joseph personnel find that a student has plagiarized or been involved in another form 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 grievances.

Calumet College of St. Joseph adheres to citation guidelines as prescribed by the particular discipline (i.e., MLA, APA, 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.

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).

Attendance is mandatory! Each student will begin the semester with 50 attendance points towards the final grade. One absence will be permitted without consequence. Subsequent absences will result in a 25 point deduction from the attendance points. More than three absences will result in lowering the final grade by one letter. Classes canceled by the school or the professor will have no effect on the student's attendance record. If class is canceled, the student will still be responsible for all assignments. If unable to attend class, a courtesy call to the instructor would be appreciated

Written assignments are to be turned in at the beginning of class on the date due. Late assignments will not be accepted. If you are unable to attend class when an assignment is due you may fax or mail it. All written assignments are required to be typed, double spaced and printed on one side of the page. Spelling, grammar and language are expected to be correct and presented in a professional business style. There will be two written assignments, each worth 100 points towards your final grade.

Each exam will consist of 50 - 100 objective questions. From time to time an extra credit question may be included. Extra credit questions are optional to the student. There will be no make up exams. However, if you miss and exam you may take the optional final to replace the lost exam grade.

The final will be cumulative and consist of 100 objective questions. It will be administered the last evening of class. All students are encouraged to take the final exam. If a student takes the final and scores higher on the final than on one of the previous exams, he / she may replace the lower score with the higher final score. Likewise if the student missed a previous exam, he / she may use the final exam score to replace the missed score. If a student scores lower on the final than on one of the previous exams, the final score will be disregarded and will have no effect on the student’s final grade. The final exam score may replace any exam grade but may not replace a written assignment score.
