Disability Statement: It is the general policy of Delgado Community College to provide an equal
opportunity for academic success to all students. Reasonable accommodations for a student with a
disability will be made provided the student has self-identified with the Office of Disability Services and
has provided the required documentation. Instructors will appropriately modify their methods of
instruction, course and examination requirements and general procedures to accommodate the special
needs of the student provided the academic integrity of the course or examination is not violated and
the accommodation does not jeopardize the health and welfare of all students. Accommodations will
not be made without the letter of accommodation from the Office of Disability Services. {Contact
Information unique to campus/site, and updated each semester is included here.}
Academic Honesty Statement: Delgado Community College requires that students adhere to the
highest standards of academic integrity. Students are entrusted to be honest in every phase of
their academic life and to present as their own work only that which is genuinely theirs. Cheating,
plagiarism, violation of test conditions, complicity in dishonest behavior, or other falsification of
academic work is a serious breach of College standards.
Plagiarism is defined as any attempt to represent the work of another as one's own original work.
More specifically, plagiarism is the direct appropriation of the language, thoughts, or ideas of
another--either literally or in paraphrase--without appropriate notation on the source and in such
fashion as to imply that the work is one's own original work.
Depending upon the nature of the case, a student guilty of academic dishonesty may receive
penalties ranging from a grade of "F" for the work submitted to expulsion from the College. Such
penalties may be of both an academic and disciplinary nature.  Please see the College Catalog for
additional information.
 
College and Classroom Policies: Instructors are encouraged to include policies and procedures
regarding attendance, discipline, make-up exams, etc., in their individual course syllabi.

Title IX Statement: Delgado Community College is committed to creating and maintaining an


environment in which sexual violence against men and women is not tolerated. Intervening in such
instances helps to foster a safe environment for all, while sending a message that this kind of behavior
will not be tolerated and is unacceptable in our community. As part of its commitment to providing an
educational environment free from discrimination, Delgado Community College complies with Title IX of
the Education Amendments, which prohibits discrimination and harassment based upon sex in an
institution’s education programs and activities. Title IX prohibits sexual harassment, including sexual
violence, of students at Delgado Community College sponsored activities and programs whether
occurring on-campus or off-campus. {Contact Information unique to campus/site, and updated each
