V. Academic Integrity:

Students and employees at Oakton Community College are required to demonstrate academic integrity and follow Oakton’s Code of Academic Conduct. This code prohibits:

• cheating,
• plagiarism (turning in work not written by you, or lacking proper citation),
• falsification and fabrication (lying or distorting the truth),
• helping others to cheat,
• unauthorized changes on official documents,

There are serious consequences to violations of the academic integrity policy. Oakton’s policies and procedures provide students a fair hearing if a complaint is made against you. If you are found to have violated the policy, the minimum penalty is failure on the assignment and, a disciplinary record will be established and kept on file in the office of the Vice President for Student Affairs for a period of 3 years.

XI. Other course information:

1. Important dates
   See Oakton's Academic Calendar.
2. Computer usage
   You may use any of the computer labs at either the Des Plaines or Ray Hartstein (Skokie) campuses to do work outside of the scheduled class time. You may use your own computer at home or work if you have whichever software package we are working with for that particular assignment. Use of Oakton Information Technology resources (software, computers, internet access) is subject to policies and guidelines posted online at http://www.oakton.edu/about/officesanddepartments/info_tech/policies/index.php.
   UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE ANY OF THE SOFTWARE PACKAGES TO BE COPIED. Our licensing agreement specifically forbids making more than the authorized number of copies; we have already made the maximum number of copies. Besides, due to the nature of Windows software, in most cases it won’t work when copied.
   HOWEVER, CERTAIN MICROSOFT SOFTWARE IS AVAILABLE:  Oakton Community College has partnered with the MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network) Academic Alliance to provide credit students who are registered for CTIS (CIS, CAB, WWW) courses some of Microsoft’s software that you may use to complete your studies. It may not be reproduced, redistributed, sold, rented, leased, or transferred to any third party including contractors, other students, other department’s personnel, other companies, or consultants performing services. Any reproduction or redistribution of the software is prohibited by law, and may result in severe civil and criminal penalties. Currently this software includes MS Visual Studio.NET 2010, Microsoft Office Access 2010, Windows 7 Professional, Project Professional 2010, and Microsoft Visio Professional 2010.  This service does not provide installation support, nor does Oakton.
   There are two additional Microsoft initiatives through which students can obtain software. The Ultimate Steal will sell students at certain colleges – including Oakton – Microsoft Office Professional Academic 2010 for $99.95. DreamSpark (https://www.dreamspark.com/default.aspx) makes available for free download a variety of software for programming and web development. Prices and terms of these offers are subject to change, and Oakton provides no technical support whatsoever.
   Other software is not available, but as a student you qualify for academic pricing on many software packages. Check with the Oakton bookstore or search for “academic priced software”.
3. College Policy on the Observance of Religious Holidays 
   Oakton Community College recognizes the broad diversity of religious beliefs of its constituencies. The College has embraced a practice of shared responsibility in the event a religious observance interferes with class work or assignments. Students who inform instructors well in advance of an intended absence for a major religious observance will not be penalized. The instructor will make reasonable accommodations for students, which may include providing a make up test, altering assignment dates, permitting a student to attend another section of the same course for a class period or similar remedies. Instructors are not responsible for teaching material again.
4. ASSIST
   If you have a documented learning, psychological, or physical disability you may be entitled to reasonable academic accommodations or services.  To request accommodations or services, contact the ASSIST office in the Learning Center.  All students are expected to fulfill essential course requirements.  The College will not waive any essential skill or requirement of a course or degree program.
5. Security Statement
   In response to Columbine and the NIU tragedies police agencies in Illinois have developed training for law enforcement and the public school systems. These Nationally accepted law enforcement response plans have been adopted by Oakton's Public Safety Department. Your actions will influence others therefore, Oakton is asking you as a student to:
   • stay calm
   • secure the immediate area; lock, block, & barricade
   • call 911 and:
     • report your specific location
     • report number of people at your location
     • report injuries
     • report assailants: location, number, race, gender, clothing, physical features, type of weapon
