Plagiarism
According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, to plagiarize means:
1. to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own
2. to use (another's production) without crediting the source
3. to commit literary theft
4. to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source.
In other words, Plagiarism is cheating and fraud! Software is used to check for plagiarism.
All of the following are considered plagiarism:
turning in someone elses work as your own
copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit
failing to put a quotation in quotation marks
giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation
changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit
copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your
work, whether you give credit or not (see our section on fair use rules)
In addition to the above disciplinary actions, your student transcript will reflect that you were in
violation of this policy as well and this will follow you throughout your educational pursuits.

5. Varicella (chickenpox) Two (2) doses of varicella vaccine are required or documentation of a
positive titer (blood test) with the lab values report. The two doses must be received at least one month
apart. NOTE: A statement from a physician or parent indicating the students previous varicella
disease history is no longer accepted. A statement of immunity is not accepted without a positive
titer report with lab values.
6. Hepatitis B series - Three (3) doses of Hepatitis B vaccine are required per the timetable below:
Initial dose, Second dose one month after the initial dose, Third dose five months after the second dose
If an applicant fails to adhere to the above schedule, the series may have to be repeated. If the applicant
received the Pediatric Hepatitis B series, he/she should have a titer done to prove immunity. If the titer
report indicates non-immunity, the application should receive the adult Hepatitis B series on the above
timetable.
NOTE: An individual must have received the first two Hepatitis B injections with documentation
submitted with their application materials. The third and final dose must be scheduled to be
received prior to the start of the health occupations program. Documentation of the third Hepatitis B
injection or a positive Hepatitis B titer must be presented to the Health Occupations Admissions
Office before the student will be registered for their program courses.
Additional immunizations
Documentation of a current flu immunization is no longer required as part of the application process.
However, health occupations students will be required to obtain a current flu inoculation prior to their
first clinical day and repeat the inoculation annually through their program.
Students enrolled in specific health occupations programs will also be required to complete the
Hepatitis A series prior to a pediatric clinical rotation.

SCANS STATEMENT
WHAT ARE SCANS SKILLS?
These are the skills that employers need the most form their workers. SCANS skills are the predictors
of success in the workplace.
WHO DEFINED THESE SKILLS?
In 1989, the U.S. Department of Labor and Education jointly surveyed U.S. employers to find out the
most important skills and competencies needed by workers. The results of that survey identified
SCANS (Secretarys Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills).
El Centro College Students and SCANS
El Centro College is committed to the preparation of our students for success in the workplace.
All El Centro College courses provide learning outcomes which result in the mastery of SCANS skills.
Although each course will not include every SCANS skill, each course syllabus will identify the specific
SCANS skills and competencies taught in that course.
Throughout a formal program of study (Certificate, Degree or Transfer Program) a student will have the
opportunity to master all SCANS skills and competencies.
