Key Things To Know

FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act )

Instructors and college personnel cannot give out a student’s academic  records, accommodations and disabilities to anyone other than the student, including the student’s parents. If a student wishes to have a parent receive information and be able to communicate with the college about grades or other student specific information, a FERPA form must be completed. This form is found on Self Service under Student Forms.

Student Conduct Statement

Students at Nash Community College are expected to conduct themselves as responsible adults in accordance with generally accepted standards of morality and decency at all times. The Conduct Code is printed in the NCC catalog and the NCC Student Calendar. A violation of any of the listed behaviors will warrant immediate disciplinary action and may result in suspension from the College.

Academic Integrity

Nash Community College upholds the integrity of the academic process.  Academic dishonesty  includes cheating and plagiarism. Cheating is an attempt to use unethical  or dishonest means to perform work for a course. These may include, but  are not limited to, copying the work of others, bringing unapproved  sources of information during tests or other work (“cheat sheets,” the use  of information stored on electronic devices, the use of others’ work on out  of class assignments, etc.), and any other covert means to complete work  without the approval of the instructor. Cheating encompasses both those  giving and receiving aid.  

Plagiarism is the undocumented use of information or the work of others  presented as one’s own. Nash Community College recognizes two types  of plagiarism - accidental plagiarism and deliberate plagiarism. Accidental  plagiarism occurs when a student attempts to cite their sources, but does  so improperly or incompletely. Nash Community College treats accidental  plagiarism as poor work, and it will be graded as such. Deliberate plagiarism occurs when a student copies the work of others or purposefully uses information from sources with no citation and presents it as their own.
