- Policy on Make-up Work: Classroom Protocol:
Students are expected to be in each and every class, lab and simulation period unless otherwise approved by the course coordinator(s). It is at the discretion of your instructor to excuse you from a session, and you be considered absent without leave (AWOL) if not in class without prior approval. All students are to arrive prior to the start of class, cell phones are to be silenced and their use is prohibited during class. The student must participate in all lectures, practice sessions, and lab exercises. See GSN school handbook (add URL) for religious observance information. Incompletes, withdrawals will result in academic review by the program director and likely removal from the program.
Academic Integrity:
Your commitment to learning is evidenced by your enrollment at Uniformed Services University. Dishonesty in academics is a serious offense. Cheating on assignments or examinations, compromising test integrity, plagiarizing, or any other act which violates the rights of another student in academic work or that involves misrepresentation of your own work may result in Graduate School of Nursing Student Promotions and/or Uniform Code of Military justice action. The Graduate School of Nursing Academic Integrity policy can be found in your student handbook at (Add URL).
Articles, books, and other media (internet, video, CD, DVD) are rich sources of information for scholarly work, but the ideas and language from those works are the intellectual property of another person, and must therefore be used responsibly. Any information obtained from another source must be clearly credited to that source. Anytime someone else’s ideas or words (phrase, sentence, paragraph) are used or heavily paraphrased, the text must be appropriately punctuated (quotation marks) and the original author cited. Failure to do so is plagiarism. It is also unethical to plagiarize yourself. Authors may not submit the same manuscript to two journals, nor are students permitted to submit the same (or heavily paraphrased) paper to more than one course director.
