Acknowledgement

I understand, in accordance with the UALR Student Handbook, that I have rights as a
student, including the right:

To expect an education of the highest quality


To develop my potential to the best of my ability
To inquire, discuss, listen, and evaluate
To express views relevant to the subject matter in the classroom, and
To be free from discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age,
national origin, or disability.

Along with my rights as a student, I understand I have academic responsibilities,


including showing academic integrity in my college coursework and engaging in
classroom conduct that does not disrupt the facilitation of knowledge and student
learning. I understand that such behavior is considered grounds for academic disciplinary
action. This will result in an imposed grade penalty along with reporting student behavior
to the Dean of Students on all violations of academic integrity, as defined in the UALR
Student Handbook as collusion, duplicity, and plagiarism, along with classroom
disruption that results in ejection.

I understand the guidelines and rules set forth by UALR, the Department of Rhetoric and
Writing, and the Composition Program.
