The following policies and procedures pertain to conduct and should be noted by all students. Full text of these policies
and procedures is located in Board Policies and Administrative Procedures and can be found on the FRC website

Code of Student Conduct
Admission to Feather River College carries with it the presumption that the student will conduct him/herself as a
responsible member of the College community. Thus, when a student is admitted to and/or enrolled at FRC, the
student likewise assumes the obligation to observe standards of conduct which are appropriate to the pursuit of
educational goals. Violations of student conduct and other disruptive behavior are reported to the Chief Student
Services Officer who in turn may take appropriate disciplinary action when the conduct is deemed to be disruptive
to the operation of the College. For details on conduct violations, sanctions, and disciplinary due process hearing
procedures, consult Student Rights and Responsibilities. (BP/AP 5500)
Academic Integrity
Students of Feather River College are expected to behave as responsible members of the college community and to
be honest and ethical in their academic work. FRC strives to provide students with the knowledge, skills, judgment,
and wisdom they need to function in society as educated adults. To falsify or fabricate the results of one’s research; to
present the words, ideas, data, or work of another as one’s own; or to cheat on an examination corrupts the essential
process of higher education. The following guidelines will assist students in upholding academic integrity:
• Students assume full responsibility for the content and integrity of the coursework they submit and are
responsible for adhering to coursework requirements as specified by the instructor in the course syllabus.
• Students must follow all written and/or verbal instructions given by instructors or designated college
representatives prior to taking examinations, placement assessments, tests, quizzes, projects, reports, and other
forms of evaluating student learning.
• Students may collaborate or cooperate with other students on graded assignments or examinations as directed
by the instructor.
For details on types of academic dishonesty and academic dishonesty complaint and hearing procedures, consult
Student Rights and Responsibilities. (BP/AP 4245)
