Department & University Policies

• Academic honesty requires that credit must be given any time you use words and ideas other than your own. Proper citation is necessary; and APA style is preferred. In the 2006-2007 Portland State University Bulletin it states, "The Student Conduct Code, which applies to all students, prohibits all forms of academic cheating, fraud, and dishonesty. These acts include, but are not limited to, plagiarism, buying and selling of course assignments and research papers, performing academic assignments (including tests and examinations) for other persons, unauthorized disclosure and receipt of academic information, and other practices commonly understood to be academically dishonest" (p. 29).


• Incomplete grades will only be given to students when certain criteria and as the student's circumstance warrants. The instructor does not have an obligation to award an incomplete. To be eligible for an incomplete, the student must show satisfactory progress. Satisfactory progress includes, but is not limited to, a grade of C or better, completion of most coursework (approximately 75%) and a displayed commitment to the policies set forth in the course syllabus. The student and the instructor are required to complete a contract in which both parties agree to the essential work to be done. The student is required to also complete a justification statement. The contract and justification statement must be filed with the department. According to the 2006-2007 Portland State University Bulletin, "The deadline for completion of an Incomplete can be no longer than one year. The instructor may set a shorter deadline which shall be binding" (p. 52).


• Coursework completed for this class that is not retrieved by the student, will be available for the first three weeks of the following term. After this time, student coursework will be disposed; however, the grades will be held on record for two years.
