Ethics and Academic Dishonesty:

The Student Code of Conduct prohibits activities and prescribes penalties for academic dishonesty.

Students' rights to appeal grades and/or other disciplinary action and the procedures which students must follow for appeals are published the College Catalog under the Student Code of Conduct and at the NLC Web Site under Operational Memoranda.

If you are caught engaging in academic dishonesty in an NLC web design course you will receive a zero on the assignment, and the matter will be turned over to the division dean, who will handle the matter from that point.
