Course Registration

Course Registration

*No withdrawal period is set for the Summer
and Winter Terms, since most summer/winter
courses take the short-term, intensive
approach. Students must drop a course during
the registration period, or successfully
complete all course requirements to avoid
failing any course.
Course registration consists of two parts:
registration and withdrawal periods. For the
registration schedule, please check the
“Academic Calendar for 2016-2017.”
1. The period for registration is for two
weeks around the commencement of each
term’s classes. You must register in this
registration period to attend classes that you
wish to take. No credits can be earned for
courses completed without registration.
You may add/drop course(s) during this period.

2. The withdrawal period provides the only
option to leave a course following the end of
the registration period. The transcript will
indicate a ‘W’ grade. Students cannot withdraw
after the withdrawal deadline.
How to Register

Cheating and Plagiarism
2
GRIPS View of Cheating and Plagiarism
x
Helping others to cheat in these ways is also a form
of cheating;
Cheating and plagiarism is viewed as a serious offense by
the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies
(GRIPS). It directly affects the morale of your fellow
students and lowers the reputation of the School. Cheating
and plagiarism, therefore, will not be tolerated and may
result in serious penalties, including suspension or
expulsion from the School. All staff and students have a
responsibility to prevent, discourage, and report cheating.
For more information about penalties, see the
“Disciplinary Policy in the Event of Student Misconduct.”
x
Falsifying data. This means manipulating research
materials or processes, or changing or omitting data
or results, such that the research is not accurately
represented in the research record. While there is
considerable leeway in interpreting data, the data
itself must not be manipulated or distorted.
Definition of cheating
Cheating is behaving in a fraudulent way in university
coursework and examinations. Cheating includes passing
off work done by someone else as your own work, or
otherwise trying to gain an unfair advantage.
Examples of cheating
Definition of plagiarism
Plagiarism is the copying of ideas, wording, or anything
else from another source without appropriate reference so
that it appears to be one’s own work. This includes
published and unpublished work, the Internet, and the
work of other students and staff.
Examples of plagiarism
Examples of plagiarism include, but are not limited to:
x
The submission of a work, either in part or in whole,
completed by another;
Examples of cheating include, but are not limited to:

Impersonating someone else in a test or examination,
or arranging such impersonation;
Failure to give credit for ideas, statements, facts, or
conclusions which rightfully belong to another;

Copying from another student during a test or
examination;
Paraphrasing the ideas, interpretation, or expressions
of another without giving credit;
x
In written work, failure to use quotation marks when
quoting directly from another, whether it be a
paragraph, a sentence, or even a part thereof;
x
Using another writer’s whole paper (or a substantial
part), even with a citation.

Referring to notebooks, papers, or any other
materials during a closed-book exam;

Submitting work for which credit has already been
received in another course without the express
consent of the instructor;
