College-wide Policies & Services

Plagiarism Policy: This class will be conducted in compliance with Lehman College’s Academic Integrity Policies. Any student suspected of cheating or plagiarism will be reported to the college. If a student is discovered to have plagiarized, or copied and pasted from the internet, or handed in someone else’s work under their name, the assignment will be given a zero and a student’s overall grade will be reduced by one letter grade.

If you have any disability and may need classroom accommodations, I encourage you to let me know and to register with the Office of Student Disability Services.

Counseling Center: Many people say that college is the best time of your life, but it’s sadly very common to struggle with an incredibly isolating experience. If you are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or are otherwise struggling, know that you are not alone and you do not have to feel ashamed. The Counseling Center is available to you should you need it. The Counseling Center is located in the Old Gym Building, Room 114. Regular office hours during the fall and spring semesters are the following: Monday, Thursday, and Friday 9am – 5pm; Tuesday and Wednesday, 9am – 7pm; and Saturday 10am – 2pm. Please contact them directly for further information 718-960-8761 or [email protected]. Their website is http://www.lehman.edu/counseling-center/index.php

AI Policy Statement: In this course, academic integrity and originality are paramount. Lehman College recognizes that there are a variety of Generative AI programs available to assist learners. However, AI programs are not a replacement for human creativity, originality, and critical thinking. Rather, AI tools should serve learners as a model that can help to craft writing outlines for assignments. Writing is a craft that you must develop over time through trial and error to develop your own individual voice as a writer.

However, within limited circumstances, and with proper attribution, AI programs may be

used as a tool. The use of Generative AI in any academic assignment must be cited.

Camera Use Guidelines: There may be occasions when an otherwise in-person class is scheduled to be delivered remotely on a limited basis because of a temporary University or College pivot to remote instruction or because of faculty need. In these circumstances, students are required to turn on their cameras. This requirement will be covered on the first day of class.
