Classroom Policies
Classroom Activity
- The instructor, in the classroom and in conference, should encourage free discussion, inquiry, and expression. Student performance should be evaluated solely on an academic basis, not on opinions or conduct in matters unrelated to academic standards.
- The student should be free to take reasoned exception to the data or views offered in any course of study, and to reserve judgment about matters of opinion. He or she are responsible, however, for learning the content of any course of study for which he or she are enrolled.
- The student should be evaluated through orderly procedures. The student is responsible for maintaining standards of academic performance established for each course in which they are enrolled.
Class Attendance
Regulations governing punctual and regular class attendance are outlined under Academic Regulations and Policies.
Dress and Appearance
Each student is expected to dress and maintain a personal appearance in a manner which will not endanger his or her health, welfare, or safety. This will be in accordance with state and local laws and the College’s Code of Conduct.
Student Honor Pledge
All students enrolled at Pensacola State College are expected to fulfill the Honor Pledge, which is as follows:
“I pledge myself to uphold the highest standards of truth, honor, and integrity. I refuse to tolerate violations of these standards on the part of any other student.”
The following shall be considered infractions of the honor pledge:
- Lying is a deliberate falsification of facts. It includes a deliberate act of deception or the telling of an untruth during direct questioning before members of authority, either fellow students or faculty members.
- Cheating is giving or receiving aid, whether written, oral, or otherwise, in order that a student may receive undeserved credit.
