Policies
ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: PLAGIARISM AND CHEATING
The University System supports and promotes academic honesty and personal integrity.
Cheating can take the following forms:
 Submitting another person's work
 Writing a paper for someone else
 Working in a group effort without faculty consent
 Buying a paper from a research service
 Getting outside help or giving outside help without a teacher's expressed permission
 Submitting the same work for credit without approval (e.g. submitting the same assignment
twice for different courses)
The Web & Plagiarism Note: The Web has made it quite easy to copy and insert materials into a
paper. Students must be careful to properly attribute materials found on the Web. In a collegiate
setting, attribution typically relies on a formal academic style manual for its citation models (See
Citation and Reference Style). Such models describe how to append footnotes and endnotes,
when:
 Quoting another’s exact words, you are obviously expected to name the author and place the
words in quotation marks or in indented text blocks. The citation number is placed
immediately at the end of the quotation.
 Acknowledging background sources to your own descriptions--. The citation number is
normally placed at the end of the paragraph.
Note: The University offers tools in its Online Library to help you analyze your papers for
possible plagiarism violations and for instructors to uncover such activities.
WRITING EXPECTATIONS
All written submissions should be submitted in a font and page set-up that is readable and neat. It
is recommended that students try to adhere to a consistent format, which is described below.
 Typewritten in double-spaced format with a readable style and font and submitted inside the
electronic classroom (unless classroom access is not possible and other arrangements have
been approved by the professor).
 Arial 11 or 12-point font or Times New Roman styles.
 Page margins Top, Bottom, Left Side and Right Side = 1 inch, with reasonable
accommodation being made for special situations and online submission variances.
CITATION AND REFERENCE STYLE
Assignments completed in a narrative essay or composition format must follow APA guidelines.
This course will require students to use the citation and reference style established by the
American Psychological Association (APA), in which case students should follow the
th
guidelines set forth in Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5 ed.).
(2001). Washington, D.C.: American Psychological Association. Please review the examples by

COURSE EXTENSIONS
Students must determine the need for their first Course Extension and submit their "Request

end of the course. Students must include a realistic plan for completion of the course with their
request. Coursework must be completed within the time limit of the extension. Students must
notify instructor by email any time they upload assignments to the classroom while on an
extension. Any subsequent extension requests must be submitted online prior to the expiration of
the current extension. With instructor approval, courses may be extended in 30-day intervals for a
maximum of 90 days.
Students who will be prevented from participating in a course due to extenuating circumstances
may be eligible for a Deployment and/or Special Circumstances extension. Students wishing to
discuss this option may contact the Registrar's Office at registrar@apus.edu or 877-468-6268,
ext. 3600.
LATE ASSIGNMENTS
Students are expected to submit classroom assignments by the posted due date and to complete
the course according to the published class schedule. As adults, students, and working
professionals I understand you must manage competing demands on your time. Should you need
additional time to complete an assignment please contact me before the due date so we can
discuss the situation and determine an acceptable resolution. Routine submission of late
assignments is unacceptable and may result in points deducted from your final course grade.
DISABILITY ACCOMODATIONS
This institution complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act, and state and local requirements regarding students with disabilities. In compliance with
federal and state regulations, reasonable accommodations are provided to qualified students with
disabilities.
A request for accommodation is deemed reasonable if the request:



is based on documented individual needs. ·
does not compromise essential requirements of a course or program. ·
does not impose an undue financial or administrative burden upon APUS.
A qualified student can, with or without reasonable accommodations, perform the essential
functions of program or course requirements. The essential requirements of an academic course
or program need not be modified to accommodate an individual with a disability.
Final responsibility for selection of the most appropriate accommodation rests with the
University's Disability Support Services Committee and is determined on an individual case-bycase basis, based on the nature of the student's disability. Students are encouraged email
registrar@apus.edu to discuss potential academic accommodations and begin the review
process. It is the student's responsibility to:




Follow the accommodation procedure outlined in this section
Identify the disability to the staff and/or faculty of the university
Provide (and incur expense for) current appropriate documentation of disability and
accommodation needed from a qualified medical or other licensed professional.
Request specific accommodations or services

degenerate into needless insults and “flaming.” Such activity and the loss of good manners are
not acceptable in a university setting--basic academic rules of good behavior and proper
“Netiquette” must persist. Remember that you are in a place for the fun and excitement of
learning that does not include descent to personal attacks, or student attempts to stifle the
discussion of others.

Technology Limitations: While you should feel free to explore the full-range of creative
composition in your formal papers, keep e-mail layouts simple. The Educator classroom may
not fully support MIME or HTML encoded messages, which means that bold face, italics,
underlining, and a variety of color-coding or other visual effects will not translate in your email messages.
Humor Note: Despite the best of intentions, jokes and--especially--satire can easily get lost
or taken seriously. If you feel the need for humor, you may wish to add “emoticons” to help
alert your readers: ;-), : ), 
