Academic Integrity: Academic integrity is a core institutional value at CCBC. Students, faculty, administrators and staff have the right to expect a learning environment where academic integrity is valued and respected. Students are responsible for demonstrating academic integrity and shall not engage in or condone acts of academic dishonesty. To protect that right, it is essential that CCBC address academic integrity issues when an incident is first identified. (Student Code of Conduct) CCBC reserves the right to require a final proctored attempt of ALEKS. What happens when I finish my ALEKS assessment? The Testing Center will be alerted of your completed and assigned ALEKs attempt. Testing Center staff will notify your assigned advisor that you have completed the assessment tool. Your academic advisor will contact you to review your score and discuss course selection. Thank you! CCBC Testing Center
