Transcripts

hours according to the needs of the school, the availability of prefects, and the schedule of the student. Until the completion of the community service hours and a review meeting with the Vice President for Academic Life occurs, the student is prohibited from participation in co-curricular activities. A second offense brings serious consideration to a decision to expel the student.

The following academic consequences are considered if a student violates this policy:

1. Homework: The student may receive a grade of zero (0) for the assignment.

Other than assignments that are determined to be “cooperative assignments,” this includes a student who copies another student’s homework, or a student who allows others to copy his work. 2. Cheating on a Quiz or Examination: The student may receive a grade of zero (0) for the quiz or examination. 3. Unauthorized Viewing of an Examination: The student may be dropped from the course with a grade of F. 4. Plagiarism: “The use of quotations within a paper is a way of representing the continuity of research within a field and introducing the ideas of others by referring directly to their works. By definition, a research paper involves the assimilation of prior scholarship and entails the responsibility to give proper acknowledgment whenever one is indebted to another for either words or an idea. ...Failure to give credit is plagiarism” (Cf. Kate L. Turabian, A Manual for

Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, Sections 5.1 and 5.2). The student may receive a grade of zero (0) on any assignment that is plagiarized.

TRANSCRIPTS

De La Salle High School defines its “transcript” as including all earned grades at DLS and grades reported by other schools (if applicable).

Transcripts will be released when the Registrar’s Office receives a written or electronic (via Naviance) request from the student and/or his parents. Transcript Request Forms are available in the Registrar’s Office. Students need to plan ahead when requesting transcripts to allow sufficient time for the Registrar to prepare transcripts. All Juniors and Seniors must request transcripts through Naviance.

Because a student’s transcript is an official document issued by De La Salle High School, the name that appears on a transcript must identically match that of the student’s birth certificate. Any change to the above will only occur if De La Salle High School has been provided with a copy of the legal (e.g. court issued) name change.
