Academic honesty and accommodations

Sample language for your syllabus:

Academic Honesty. All assignments must be the original work of the student, not used for any other course, and completed in a manner consistent with the NDSU University Senate Policy, Section 335: Code of Academic Responsibility and Conduct. You are expected to be familiar with these standards and policies; in the event of a violation, ignorance will not be accepted as an excuse. The NDSU Code of Academic Responsibility and Conduct can be found at http://www.ndsu.edu/policy/335.htm. Plagiarism – or any other form of academic dishonesty – will result in an automatic F for the course.

Academic Accommodations. Any students with disabilities or other special needs, who need special accommodations in this course, are invited to share their concerns or requests with the instructor at the beginning of the semester, or as soon as possible.
