University Information:
(18) Academic Honesty – Southeast Missouri State University expects all students, faculty and staff to
operate in an honest and ethical manner. Academic dishonesty is a very serious offense because it
undermines the value of your education and the education of others. Students who engage in academic
dishonesty face significant penalties. Forms of academic dishonesty include, but are not limited to,
plagiarism, cheating, contract cheating, misrepresentation, and other actions you take. Some of these
are defined below:
Plagiarism means passing off someone else’s work as your own, whether it is intentional or
unintentional.
Cheating includes copying from another person or source of information to meet the
requirements of a task.
Contract cheating is paying someone else or a company to do your work.
Misrepresentation means you are posing as someone else or someone else is posing as you to
complete a task.
Collusion means working with one or more people to cheat. If you help someone cheat or
plagiarize you will face the same penalties.

(19) Accessibility – Southeast Missouri State University and Disability Services are committed to making
every reasonable educational accommodation for students who identify as people with disabilities.
Many services and accommodations which aid a student’s educational experience are available for
students with various disabilities. Students are responsible for contacting Disability Services to register
and access accommodations. Accommodations are implemented on a case by case basis. For more
information, visit http://www.semo.edu/ds/ or contact Disability Services at 573-651-5927.
(20) Classroom Civility – Your university experience is purposely designed to introduce you to new ideas,
help you think effectively, develop good communication skills, evaluate information successfully,
distinguish among values and make sound judgements. Doing this well requires respectful and
courteous discussion among and between students and the instructor. Together, we must create a
space where we acknowledge and respect others have different experiences, perspectives and points of
view. Disagreements are likely. Mutual respect for one another and a willingness to listen are important.
Remember, you are responsible for your behavior and actions. There is a no tolerance policy on bullying
or harassment of any kind. Additional information on student conduct may be found at:

(21) Mandatory Reporting – I will keep information you share with me confidential to the best of my
ability, but as a professor I am legally required to share information about sexual misconduct and crimes
I learn about to make our campus and community safe for everyone.
(22) Student Success – This course uses SupportNET, Southeast’s student success network, to improve
communication between students, faculty and staff on campus. You’ll get emails through SupportNET
with information about resources or concerns. Please read these emails—they are sent to help you
succeed! You can access SupportNET through your portal, Moodle or directly at supportnet.semo.edu to
see any academic alerts, ask for help and to access resources to support your success at Southeast.
