You will be given the opportunity to review the charge(s). If you believe you are not responsible, you will have the opportunity for a hearing. You should consult with your instructor if you are uncertain about an issue of academic honesty prior to the submission of an assignment or test.  In particular, use of a cellphone or other electronics during any testing will be considered an attempt to cheat.  Only an approved calculator is permitted.

You can access the Code of Honor and general academic policies on such issues as diversity, religious observance, student disabilities at the respecitive web sites:   www.wmich.edu/conduct, www.wmich.edu/registrar and www.wmich.edu/disabilityservices.
