A late registration fee will be charged. A student may not enroll in classes which meet simultaneously. Permission to Attend Another College A student in a degree program must have the written approval of the academic advisor and the Registrar to take courses at another college. This request may not be granted if the student is within thirty hours of a degree, if the course is available on campus, or if the student does not have a  “C” average. Students not obtaining written permission prior to studying off campus may risk not receiving credit at Avila University. Permission forms may be obtained in the Registration and Student Records Office. Repeated Course Work Once enrolled at Avila University, a student may repeat a course only twice regardless where the course is taken. If a student repeats or duplicates a course, the most recent grade earned is reflected in the cumulative grade point average. However, all course entries remain a part of the permanent record, and credit is forfeited for all previous attempts. The Registration and Student Records Office cannot be responsible for notifying students of loss of credit by repeat course work until the student files an application for a degree. The student record is carefully checked at that time and repeats are reflected on the summary sheet sent to the student. Class Attendance Students are expected to attend all sessions of courses for which they are registered. Excessive absence may result in a grade of “F.” Active Military Duty Avila University supports students who are members of a branch of the United States armed services and makes efforts to accommodate them academically when possible if they are called to active duty. All requests under this policy must be sent to the Academic Affairs Office. Academic Honesty Avila University expects and requires academic honesty from all members of the university community.  Cheating,  plagiarism  and  falsification  of  documents  will  not  be  tolerated  and appropriate sanctions will be imposed. TheUuniversity defines “cheating” to include the following practices: stealing an exam; collab- orating on projects where not allowed by the instructor; copying during exams; exchanging information during exams; using unallowable information as designated by the instructor; and buying, selling or stealing copies of exams or other projects. The University defines “plagiarism” as taking ideas from another and passing them off as one’s own. Included would be the practice of incorporating portions from a printed or online book or article into a paper and not acknowledging the source; copying a whole paper or report direct- ly from a book or article; securing a paper or report from another person or an online source and submitting it as one’s own work.
