Deadlines

Academic Misconduct

As a community college, Brown’s Town Community College strives to instill and foster intellectual honesty and integrity.

Effective evaluation of students’ work can only take place in an environment in which intellectual honesty is respected. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to inappropriate giving or receiving of help during tests and plagiarism.

Acts of academic dishonesty are serious infringements, which subvert the integrity and credibility of the educational process.

The College will therefore initiate action to discipline students who engage in acts of academic dishonesty.

Internal Examination Procedures

evaluation requirements, there are official examinations held during specified times throughout the
academic year.

The schedule is as follows:
Semester 1 – December
Semester 2 – April/ May
Semester 3 – August

It is the responsibility of each candidate to check the General Examination Timetable and report any problems such as clashes, omissions etc to the Coordinator of Examinations within three (3) days of the posting of the timetable.

Only students who are in good financial standing and have satisfied all other requirements will be admitted to examinations.

Examination Card

Examination cards should be collected from the Registrar’s office or other designated locations on the scheduled dates.
