Students are also responsible for insuring that instructors receive all assignments, especially when assignments are submitted electronically or left for pick-up. New students are required to attend an orientation session on academic dishonesty in general and different forms of plagiarism in particular. All students must sign a statement confirming they are familiar with CMC’s policies and expectations with regard to academic dishonesty.
