Policies & Procedures:
Course Integrity, Cheating and Plagiarism
Delaware Institute of Health Sciences students are expected to abide by "The
Code of Student Conduct" (see "Clinical
Guidelines..."). Please note that any act of academic dishonesty will
place you in jeopardy of the most severe form of sanction, which is expulsion
from the Delaware Institute of Health Sciences.

The code of conduct guides student behaviors in the classroom, lab and clinical
settings. Included among dishonest behaviors in an academic setting are cheating
(using or attempting to use unauthorized assistance, materials, information,
photographing materials, using cell phones to communicate testing materials or
using study aids in an academic exercise), plagiarism (adopting or reproducing
ideas, words, or statements of another person without appropriate
acknowledgement), interference (stealing, changing, destroying, or impeding
another student's work), and facilitating (intentionally or knowingly helping or
attempting to help another student commit an act of academic misconduct).
In an
examination setting, unless the instructor gives explicit prior
instructions to the contrary, violations of academic integrity shall consist of
any attempt to receive assistance from written or printed aids, from any person
or persons or electronic devices, or any attempt to give assistance, whether the
student doing so has completed his or her own work or not. Other violations
include, but are not limited to, any attempt to gain an unfair advantage in
regard to an examination, such as tampering with a graded exam or claiming
another's work to be one's own. Failure to comply will lead to sanctions against
the student in accordance with "The Code of Student Conduct". |

Discipline/Dismissal Policy (See also "Clinical
Guidelines...")
Because you want to do your best in the program of study, we do not expect to
have disciplinary problems. However, should a problem arise, we are confident
that the incident can be resolved accordingly as follows: |
|
|
|
1. |
Your instructor will meet with you to discuss the problem. Administration and
faculty request that you submit your complaint/problem in writing for this
meeting. |
|
|
|
|
2. |
If you need further guidance, you may meet with the Program Director. |
|
|
|
|
3. |
Refer to the "Due Process in Student Discipline" in the STUDENT HANDBOOK for
additional information. Be sure to follow the chain of command and outlined
process. Follow the Grievance Policy outlined in the campus handbook. |
|
|
|
|
Nursing requires a great deal of self-discipline and behavior suited to the
vocation. You must begin to think like a "professional nurse" and potential
employee. Practical nursing students are held to the same standards of the
Licensed Practical Nurse as outlined by the Delaware Board of Nursing rules &
regulations. |
