Supporting Services or Special Needs Students requiring additional services or special assistance must request these at the beginning of the course or as soon as they learn that they need them, through the appropriate register in the office of Mr. José Rodriguez, at the University Orientation Program located at the first floor of Harris Building. B. Honesty, Fraud and Plagiarism The lack of honesty, fraud, plagiarism and any other inadequate behavior in relation to academic work constitute major infractions sanctioned by General Student Regulations. Major infractions, according to General Regulation Students, may result in suspension from the University for a definite period of time greater than one year or the permanent expulsion from the University, among others sanctions. C. Use of Electronic Devices Cellular (mobile) telephones, IPODS, and any other electronic device that could interrupt the teaching-learning process or disrupt a milieu favorable for academic excellence will be deactivated. Critical situations will be dealt with in an appropriate manner. The use of electronic devices that permit the accessing, storing or sending of data during tests or examinations is prohibited. D. Special Requirements of Practice and Internship Centers Some academic programs of the University require students to complete a practice or internship in a real work scenario as part of the degree requirements. These external centers may be state and federal agencies, hospitals, and nongovernmental organizations, among others. It is students responsibility to comply with the external center s requirements in order to complete their practice or internship. Depending on the practice center, these requirements may be doping tests, HIV tests, an immunization certificate against hepatitis, a health certificate, a negative criminal record, or any other requirement that the institution or practice center may stipulate. If students refuse or are not able to meet any of the requirements, they will be unable to complete their practice or internship and, therefore, will not pass the practice or internship course or meet the graduation requirements of their academic program. 3
