Rules

Academic dishonesty (cheating) will not be tolerated.  Communication with other test takers (inside or outside) while testing (ex. gesturing, signing, talking, etc.) is prohibited.  Guidelines governing this can be found in the Student Code of Conduct Policy found on the Stanly Community College Website.  Instructors will be notified of suspected or confirmed instances of academic dishonesty.  Determining if actions are academic dishonesty infractions is at the discretion of the testing center staff.
