Life challenges: While I expect you to do all the required work for the class I know you live busy and responsible lives. At times there are going to be crises, you might be ill or some other stressful event will occur. Ask for help if you need it. Either let me know that you are having a problem-I don’t need to know the details- or speak to someone at the Wellness Center, they will keep your business private. Use their services whenever you or your family need support. RM: L.68 (NB). http://www.jjay.cuny.edu/wellness-center mail: SingleStop@jjay.cuny.edu ; TEL: 212-237-8111.

Statement Regarding Students with Disabilities:
The Office of Services for Students with Disabilities (at 237-8122) provides support services and counseling for students who are physically challenged, have learning disabilities, and/or have medical conditions which affect their performance in the classroom setting. If you are in need of special assistance, please contact that office (and then me) no later than the second week of class.
CUNY’s Non-Discrimination Policy:
“The University must foster tolerance, sensitivity and mutual respect among all members of its community. Efforts to promote diversity and to combat bigotry are an inextricable part of the educational mission of the University." The use of epithets or demeaning terms for anyone based on sexual orientation, race, gender expression or identity, ethnicity, national origin, disability, or religion is unacceptable and is disruptive of the educational process. This will not be tolerated in my class and is unacceptable behavior on our campus. This is a safe classroom where professor and students mutually engage in respectful discourse and supportive, constructive exchanges that create and maintain a classroom environment that is truly conducive to teaching and learning.
Plagiarism: You must include something about this and the John Jay/CUNY policy. I prefer to spell it out even more like this:
