Disruptive Behavior
The
University will not tolerate disorderly or disruptive conduct which
substantially threatens, harms, or interferes with university personnel or
orderly university processes and functions.
Disruptive behavior includes indecent exposure, lewd behavior, bomb
threats, false fire alarms and other actions which disrupt normal university
functions, activities and processes. A
faculty member may require a student to leave the classroom when his/her
behavior disrupts the learning environment of the class. A student found responsible for disruptive
behavior in the classroom may be administratively withdrawn from the course.
Academic dishonesty
is defined to include any form of cheating and/or plagiarism. Cheating includes, but is not limited to
such acts as stealing or altering testing instruments; falsifying the identity
of persons for any academic purpose; offering, giving or receiving unauthorized
assistance on an examination, quiz or other written or oral material in a
course; or falsifying information on any type of academic record. Plagiarism is the presentation of written or
oral material in a manner which conceals the true source of documentary material;
or the presentation of materials which uses hypotheses, conclusions, evidence,
data, or the like, in a way that the student appears to have done work which
he/she did not, in fact, do. In cases
involving academic dishonesty, a failing grade or a grade of zero (0) for
either an assignment and/or a course may be administered. Students who are expelled or suspended for
reasons of academic dishonesty are not admissible to other institutions within
the University System of Maryland.
Suspension or expulsion for academic dishonesty is noted on a student's
academic transcript.
NOTE: It
is the policy of the Department of Business Administration that any student
found to be guilty of Academic Dishonesty will receive, as a minimum, a grade
of "F" for the course and will be forbidden to enroll in any business
classes for a period of not less than 1 calendar year. (Courses taken at another institution during
this period will not transfer to our program).
