Course Policies:
Attendance: Student who misses 15% of classes will be awarded an “FA” Grade. Academic
integrity is a cornerstone of the intellectual life at Universities and of any true learning
program. Plagiarism is academic offenses in which a person takes an idea, language, or
creative product from another person and submits it as if it were his/her own work. If a
student submits a research paper written by somebody else to an instructor, that is plagiarism.
If someone “cuts and pastes” a sentence or even a few words from another source without
giving credit to the original source, that is plagiarism. Students must always cite the original
author. At UAEU, penalties for student misconduct, which includes plagiarism, are explained
in the university bylaws (Nos. 136-146) and include such sanctions as a formal letter of
warning kept on file; suspension from a course or from the university; exclusion from taking
the final examination; dismissal from the university; and the withdrawal of a degree.

Academic Integrity:
Academic integrity is of central importance to education at UAEU. Students have the
responsibility to know and observe the requirements of the UAEU Code of Academic
Honesty available:
https://www.uaeu.ac.ae/en/catalog/plagiarism_and_academic_integrity.shtml and the
penalties resulting from violation of this code. This code forbids cheating, fabrication or
falsification of information, multiple submission of academic work, plagiarism, abuse of
academic materials, and complicity in academic dishonesty. Cheating in any form and on any
academic work results in serious penalties that include dissmissal from the university.
Students with Special Needs:
Students with special needs are encouraged to discuss their needs with the course instructor.
You need to contact the Special Needs Services Center at +971 3 7134264 or email
(disabilityservices@uaeu.ac.ae). All academic accommodations must be arranged through
that office: http://www.uaeu.ac.ae/en/student_services/special_needs/
Student Support Services:
If you need more support please go to the Student Academic Success Program:
http://www.uaeu.ac.ae/en/university_college/sasp/. This program provides students with
academic support services such as Independent Learning Centers (ILCs), Tutorials, Writing
& Speaking Centers. All students are encouraged to use these Centers.
