• Individual effort and Group Effort

ATTENDANCE
Students are reminded that The Mico University College is interested in ensuring that each
student receives adequate time for teaching and learning; as a consequence students are required

the Registrar with a suitable explanation. Please be reminded that a student who is absent for
more than 20% (9 hours) of scheduled classes for a course may be barred from taking the course.

PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism is the act of taking and or using the ideas, work and or writings of another person as
one’s own. Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, the exact duplication of another’s work and
the incorporation of a substantial or essential portion without appropriate citation (Refer to the
Graduate Handbook).
To avoid plagiarism, give written credit and acknowledgement to the source of thoughts, ideas,
and or words quoted directly, paraphrased, or used with reference to a general idea.
• The American Psychological Association style (APA 6th edition) is used at The Mico
for referencing.

• For words quoted which someone else wrote, enclose the cited portion with quotation
marks, and provide an appropriate citation.

• Research, as well as the complete written paper, must be the work of the person
seeking academic credit for the course. This includes papers, reports, presentation,
and or class assignments.
Disciplinary Action against the Student Charged with Plagiarism
Lecturers and or Examiners may respond to cases of plagiarism in any of the following ways,
depending on the offence:
• Warning: Indicate to the student, in writing, that further academic dishonesty will
result in other sanctions being imposed.

• Resubmission of work: Require the work in question to be rewritten to conform to

the proper academic standards.
