=== 6.12 Academic Integrity Expectations ===
Students who violate University rules on academic misconduct are subject to the student conduct process. A student found responsible for academic misconduct may be assigned both a status sanction and a grade impact for the course. The grade impact could range from a zero on the assignment in question up to a failing grade in the course. A status sanction can include a written warning, probation, deferred suspension or dismissal from the University. To learn more about academic integrity standards, tips for avoiding a potential academic misconduct violation, and the overall conduct process, please visit the Student [http://deanofstudents.utexas.edu/conduct Conduct and Academic Integrity website].
[It is strongly recommended that you outline any individual expectations for assignment completion- including parameters around group work, authorized resources, citation requirements, etc. in the assignment directions. Clear and detailed expectations not only reduce the likelihood of a possible violation, but they also aid the Student Conduct team in holding students accountable that fail to adhere to the assignment directions.]

All instructions, assignments, readings, rubrics and essential information will be on the [https://utexas.instructure.com/ Canvas website]. Check Canvas regularly. '''Changes''' to the schedule may be made at my discretion if circumstances require. I will announce any such changes in class and will also communicate them via a Canvas announcement. It is your responsibility to note these changes when announced, and I will do my best to ensure that you are notified of changes with as much advance notice as possible.
[Syllabus must include all major course requirements and assignments, along with the dates of exams and assignments that count for 20% or more of the class grade. Also, recall that [https://catalog.utexas.edu/general-information/academic-policies-and-procedures/examinations/ per the General Information Catalog] no exam counting for more than 30% of the final course grade may be given during the last week of class, or during no-class days/reading days preceding the final exam period.]

Students in this class should be aware of the following university policies related to Texas’ Open Carry Law:
* Students in this class who hold a license to carry are asked to [https://www.utexas.edu/campus-carry#ac review the university policy regarding campus carry].
* Individuals who hold a license to carry are eligible to carry a concealed handgun on campus, including in most outdoor areas, buildings and spaces that are accessible to the public, and in classrooms.
* It is the responsibility of concealed-carry license holders to carry their handguns on or about their person at all times while on campus. Open carry is NOT permitted, meaning that a license holder may not carry a partially or wholly visible handgun on campus premises or on any university driveway, street, sidewalk or walkway, parking lot, parking garage, or other parking area.
