V. The Honor System 
Ferrum College’s honor system is based on the philosophy that academic endeavor is undermined by cheating, plagiarism, or lying for academic advantage. The Honor Board is made up of faculty and student members and hears cases related to the above violations. The full honor policy can be found online in the Student Handbook.  Students are responsible for following its provisions.
 
VI. Academic Integrity:
In all instances, policies identified in the Ferrum College Catalog and the Ferrum College Student and Faculty Handbooks regarding the Honor System shall be followed.  Students are expected to display academic integrity at all times and in all circumstances.
 
Office of Academic Accessibility (OAA):
                  As directed by Ferrum College’s policy, any student with a disability who qualifies for and seeks academic accommodations (such as testing or other services) must work through the Office for Academic Accessibility  for accommodations.  The office is located Lower Stanley Library, Office 110 and the director may be reached by phone at 365-4262 or by email at nbeach@ferrum.edu . Please remember that accommodations cannot be granted retroactively; they must be requested in a timely manner prior to when the accommodation is needed.  Students who wish to use accommodations through OAA are encouraged to meet with the director during the first weeks of the semester to discuss the process, and are also invited to read the policy manual on www.ferrum.edu/disability for specific information.
