Useful Information

1.  Student Workload:

    At UNCW, most courses are designed with the assumption that the "typical" student will spend approximately 2-3 hours per week studying outside the classroom for every hour in class.  Thus, you plan on approximately 6-9 hours per week outside of class time for each of your courses.  Being a student really is a full time job!

2.  Academic Honor Code:

    The University of North Carolina Wilmington is committed to the proposition that the pursuit of truth requires the presence of honesty among all involved.  It is therefore this institution's stated policy that no form of dishonesty among its faculty or students will be tolerated.  Although all members of the university community are encouraged to report dishonesty, honesty is principally the responsibility of each individual.  Academic dishonesty takes many forms, from blatant acts of cheating, stealing or similar misdeeds to the more subtle forms of plagiarism, all of which are totally out of place in an institution of higher learning.  Reporting and adjudication procedures have been developed to enforce the policy of academic integrity, to ensure justice and to protect individual rights.  Complete details may be found in the current Code of Student Life:          http://www.uncw.edu/stuaff/doso/documents/Code.Of.Student.Life.pdf
