Student Conduct / Academic Honesty
The rules of the host high school should be followed in non-academic behavioral misconduct situations. However, in cases involving academic misconduct, particularly academic dishonesty, the College’s regulations should prevail.
The following excerpt is taken from “Academic Policies and Procedures” section of the CCC Course Catalog, “Code of Student Conduct” on page 169:
“The principles of integrity, respect and ethical behavior are long standing traditions at CCC. It is expected that all students will recognize these values and adhere to all aspects of student conduct and academic honesty inside and outside of the classroom. The act of academic dishonesty is one in which a student is trying to gain an unfair academic advantage or is avoiding actions required by a course, which have been designated to improve some aspect of the student’s education. Knowingly and willfully aiding or collaborating with a student in the violation of an Academic Honesty policy, even if not personally committing any violation is considered academic dishonesty.”
For examples of academic honesty violations, see Student Code of Conduct: Academic Honesty in the course catalog or student handbook.
Attendance
Success in courses is directly related to attendance. Regular attendance in class and laboratory sessions is expected of all students; however, instructors determine student attendance requirements for their courses. These attendance requirements, along with their relationship to final grades, should be clearly stated in the course syllabus. Attendance will only be considered in the final grade of a student when individual participation is deemed necessary for meeting course objectives.

Honor's Program at CCC
The Honors Program at CCC offers motivated high school graduates the opportunity to sharpen their research skills, broaden their knowledge across disciplines, and create unique projects tailored to their specific career goals and academic interests while collaborating with other students and in cooperation with faculty. In pursuit of academic excellence, students are challenged critically, creatively, and in divergent ways.
Students can earn an Honors diploma by completing fifteen credits of Honors courses (including two Honors Forums and a combination of specialized Honors courses and seminars, independent study work, specialized research, or special projects) while maintaining a 3.5 GPA. Students who maintain a 3.5 GPA or its equivalent are eligible to take Honors courses, either toward an Honors diploma or to simply enhance their academic work across disciplines. While a 3.5 GPA is necessary for membership in the Honors Program, students with a 3.2 GPA are eligible to take Honors courses but will require a letter of recommendation from a faculty member. Interested students should contact the Honors coordinator.
