WSU and the English Department encourage all English faculty to include statements about these topics in their course syllabi. The statements included below are suggestions and can be adapted to reflect your course:

Services for Students with Disabilities

Any student requiring accommodations or services due to a disability must contact Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) in room 181 of the Student Service Center, WSU-Ogden. SSD can also arrange to provide course materials (including this syllabus) in alternative formats if necessary.

Academic Dishonesty

The WSU Student Code defines plagiarism as "the unacknowledged (uncited) use of any other person’s or group’s ideas or work" (Section 6-22, part IV, subsection D). Any attempt to claim credit for another’s work, in whole or in part, is a violation of this policy and is regarded by the Developmental English Program as a serious offense. Penalties for plagiarism may range from, but are not limited to, the following: requiring the student to redo the plagiarized assignment, awarding the student zero points for the assignment, and/or awarding the student a failing grade for the course.
