Scholastic dishonesty of any type
will not be tolerated. Violators will be referred to the Office of the Dean of
Students for possible disciplinary action, which in the extreme may result in expulsion
from the University. |
|
- Students with Disabilities:
|
Please notify me of any
modification/adaptation you may require to accommodate
a disability-related need. You will be requested to provide documentation
to the Dean of Students Office,
in order that the most appropriate accommodations can be determined. Specialized
services are available on campus through
Services for
Students with Disabilities. |
| |
- Attendance/ Religious Holidays:
|
By UT Austin policy, you must notify me of your
pending absence at least fourteen days prior to the date of observance
of a religious holy day. If you
must miss a class, an examination, a work assignment, or a project in
order to observe a religious holy day, you will be given an opportunity
to complete the missed work within a reasonable time after the absence.
The same goes for other UT-sanctioned
activities - please let me know in advance so I can arrange an
accommodation. |
