American Graduate School of Education Honor Code

All students at the American Graduate School of Education are expected to be honorable and observe standards of conduct appropriate to a community of scholars. The graduate school promotes, as part of its mission and purpose, the development of educators of strong character and responsibility. Self-discipline is extremely important in participating and completing the online courses.

Academic Probation and Suspension

When a teacher-learner has completed three or more courses and the teacher-learner’s cumulative grade point average falls below 2.00, probation occurs. A teacher-learner on academic probation has one semester to raise the cumulative average above the minimum standard, either by completing additional courses or repeating courses bearing inadequate grades.

In the event a course is repeated, the original grade is replaced by the subsequent course grade. The cost for repeating a course is determined by the current tuition schedule. Academic suspension will follow only if a teacher-learner is unable to return to active status or the grade point average is not raised within the following semester. Suspended teacher-learners may apply for readmission to the American Graduate School of Education after a period of one year.

Plagiarism

If it is determined by the Learning Coach, or online professor, that plagiarism by a teacher-learner has occurred, the teacher-learner will not receive full credit for that course. If plagiarism re-occurs, the teacher-learner’s enrollment at American Graduate School of Education may be suspended.

Financial Probation and Suspension

It is the American Graduate School of Education policy that teacher-learners’ financial accounts must be current. If difficulties arise, appropriate arrangements must be made with the Registrar. Teacher-learners who fail to complete satisfactory arrangements or who default on their financial arrangement are subject to financial suspension.

No transcripts or other documents, including study materials or grade reports, will be issued to teacher-learners on financial suspension.
