Sinclair’s policies on academic integrity, attendance, grades, and adding/dropping classes are published centrally in the college’s official policy and catalog sites, not in individual course materials alone.

Main place to find the policies

You can find all of these policies through Sinclair’s official Policies and Catalog pages:

  • The online Policies site lists college-wide rules, including the Academic Integrity Policy and attendance expectations.
  • The official Sinclair College Catalog includes the “Policies & Procedures” section, which covers grading information and registration rules like adding and dropping classes.

In practice, instructors also usually repeat or summarize the relevant parts of these policies on the course syllabus, but the catalog and policy pages are the authoritative sources.

Where each specific policy lives

  • Academic integrity : Detailed definitions, procedures, and penalties are in the Academic Integrity Policy section of the Student Code of Conduct / Academic Integrity document on Sinclair’s policy site.
  • Attendance requirements : The Attendance policy page states that students are expected to be present at all class sessions and that it is the student’s responsibility to read and understand the class attendance policy (which is usually elaborated in each syllabus).
  • Grades : Grading policies and related rules (such as how grades are assigned or appealed) are described in the Policies & Procedures section of the Sinclair College Catalog.
  • Adding/dropping classes : Rules and timelines for registration changes—such as when you can add or drop a course and what happens on your transcript—are also in the catalog’s policies/registration sections.

Quick answer in one line

You can find Sinclair’s policies on academic integrity, attendance, grades, and adding/dropping classes in the Student Code of Conduct / Academic Integrity documents on the official policies site and in the Policies & Procedures section of the Sinclair College Catalog.
