Services for Students with Disabilities Suffolk County Community College provides reasonable accommodations to registered students with disabilities who have self-identified and been approved by the Office of Disability Services. Once approved for reasonable accommodations, such students will be provided with an Accommodation Letter, describing the specific accommodations. Students must present this letter to each of their professors before accommodations can be provided. Students are encouraged to email this letter to their faculty member.

Suffolk County Community College provides students with the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge by submitting coursework that is uniquely theirs and giving proper attribution to the work of others. Participating honestly in the SCCC academic community ensures that students can take pride in their education and their contributions to scholarship. Without academic integrity, students gain unfair advantage over others and prevent their own intellectual progress. As a student in this class, you are expected to uphold the SCCC core value of Integrity and understand the Special Procedures for Academic Dishonesty in the relevant sections of the SCCC Student Code of Conduct. The Code prohibits academic misconduct, which includes any action that results in students giving or receiving unauthorized assistance in an academic exercise, or receiving credit for work that is not their own. Academic exercise includes all forms of work submitted for credit. Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to, the following behaviors: cheating on exams; plagiarizing - using another person’s work or ideas without crediting them; complicity - helping a student, or being helped, to engage in academic misconduct; multiple submissions - submitting the same work for credit in more than one course without the instructor’s permission; falsification and forgery - inventing information or falsifying the identity of a student. Information about the Student Code of Conduct, plagiarism and the citation process is in the Academic Integrity and Plagiarism Guide.
Diversity In alignment with our institutional mission and strong support of diversity, equity and inclusion, Suffolk County Community College reaffirms its commitment to providing access to higher education and a welcome environment to all students. No matter your age, race, ethnicity, national origin, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, family status, U.S. citizenship status, religion, socio-economic status, political ideology, military-connected status, or intellectual or physical ability - you belong here. Therefore, in this class, we will maintain an atmosphere of mutual respect, civil discourse and cross-cultural communication.
