Academic Honesty
Students are expected to abide by ethical standards in preparing and presenting material which
demonstrates their level of knowledge and which is used to determine grades. Such standards are founded
on basic concepts of integrity and honesty. Please refer to page 25 of the Fullerton College 2000-2001
Catalogue for further details about Academic Honesty.

Emergency Response Message

Please take note of the safety features in and close to your classroom, as well as study the posted
evacuation route. The most direct route of egress may not be the safest, because of the existence of
roofing tiles or other potentially hazardous conditions. Similarly, running out of the building can also be
dangerous during severe earthquakes. During strong quakes the recommended response is to duck--
cover--and hold until the shaking stops. Follow the guidance of your instructor. You are asked to go to the
designated assembly area. Your cooperation during emergencies can minimize the possibility of injury to
yourself and others.

Fullerton College is committed to providing reasonable accommodation for students with disabilities upon
request of the student (in a timely fashion) and upon verification of disability.
