There will be a ZERO tolerance policy and immediate steps taken toward withdrawal from Amarillo College.
Anyone who is caught cheating on an exam or quiz will immediately be excused from class and not allowed to return. This is an Amarillo College rule and will be strictly enforced. This applies to plagiarism as well.
Electronic Devices: All electronic devices producing audible sounds must be silenced during class and on the laboratory/training field. All visual slides and materials are the property of the College and may be copyright protected, hence no photocopy is allowed. See the syllabus for your instructor’s policy on this matter.
