Center for Academic Integrity

If you haven't seen it, you should probably look at the Center for Academic Integrity. It's got a lot of useful links.

They have a great list for our current task...links to policies from all of their member institutions. So you don't have to look hard to find them, at least.

They also have a number of resources for members...looks particularly helpful when it comes to assessing academic integrity (and academic integrity policies/programs) on campus.

Article --> Culture of Honesty

Greetings. FYI, the article I mentioned that had a couple of pages talking about academic honesty is in the International Journal of Academic Integrity (http://www.ojs.unisa.edu.au/journals/index.php/IJEI). The article is at
http://www.ojs.unisa.edu.au/journals/index.php/IJEI/article/viewFile/14/9.

Pages 9-11 is the good part for this discussion.

Maximum Number of Units
Undergraduate students' requests to enroll for more than 19 units in the fall or spring semester must be approved by the student' s adviser and the department chair of the major. If such requests are denied, appeals may be made to the appropriate college dean. (Undeclared majors must receive the approval of the director of Academic Advising Services.) The minimum full-time program is 12 units.

Consistent with university policy for the fall and spring semesters, the following individual student enrollment limits are assigned for summer (YRO) sessions:

• No more than seven units in any five- or six-week session, or
• No more than nine units in an eight-week session, or
• No more than twelve units in a ten-week session, or
• No more than sixteen units in the entire summer (YRO) term

A student whose academic record justifies a study list in excess of the normal may request to be allowed to enroll for extra units. Request forms may be obtained from the Office of Admissions and Records. In general, only students with superior academic records are allowed to enroll for more than the maximum. In addition, the need to enroll for the extra study must be established. Factors such as time spent in employment or commuting, the nature of the academic program, extracurricular activities and the student's health should be considered in planning a study program.

The minimum and maximum units of a full-time program of study for graduate

students are defined in the “Graduate Regulations” section of this catalog.

COURSE LOAD LIMITS

An undergraduate may enroll in as few as 12 units or as many as 20 units. To enroll for more than 20 units or fewer than 12 units, students must obtain the authorization of their dean or, for undecided/undeclared students, the Dean of the Division of Undergraduate Education. Refer to the Reduced-Fee Part-Time Study Program section.
