All exams are "closed book" and it is the student's responsibility to be present at the scheduled time. Textbooks, cell phones, symbolic calculators or any other forms of wireless communication are strictly prohibited in an exam. Giving or receiving aid in an examination is cause for dismissal from the University. Any other violation of academic honesty can have the same effect.
