As a student of an Iowa Community College (College), I will abide by all rules and regulations published in the student handbook of the college at which I am enrolled and by the Iowa Community College Online Consortium (ICCOC).  

I agree I am subject to the jurisdiction of all codes of conduct, disciplinary procedures, and policies established by the College to address violations of rules or the honor code of the College.  As a student, all assignments I submit to the professor and all tests I take shall be solely performed by me, except where my professor has requested participation in group projects.  I will not submit plagiarized work nor work which otherwise violates copyright laws of the United States of America. 

As a student user of online courses, I will respect the privacy of other users (student and instructor) in the same manner I would like to be respected, and respect the integrity of the computer systems and other users' data.  It is my responsibility to respect the copyright protection of licensed computer software.  I will not intentionally obstruct, disrupt, or interfere with the teaching and learning occurring on the website through computer "hacking" or any other manner.  I understand I could be held liable criminally or civilly for any such wrongful actions I undertake. 

I agree that any issues or misunderstandings with the instructor shall be addressed first with the instructor and, without resolution, would proceed through the applicable procedure of the College through which I am enrolled, most likely with the Administration/Dean at my College.  I understand that my online course environment is not the proper venue for such individual disputes.

I will not harass, stalk, abuse, or attack any student, professor or administrator using the ICCOC online system or any other computer system utilized by the ICCOC or its partner colleges, and in a manner that violates College conduct policies and expectations.  This includes, but is not limited, to the use of profanity, harassing written or oral comments based on a person’s protected class (race, sex, disability, religion, etc.), and unwanted sexual advances or intimidation.

As a member of the ICCOC community, I will be held accountable not only for engaging in lawful conduct, but College standards as well. Enrollment does not confer either immunity of special consideration with reference to civil and criminal laws.  Disciplinary action by the College may not be subject to postponement on the grounds criminal charges involving the same incident have been dismissed reduced or are pending in a civil or criminal court.
