PLAGIARISM, DETECTION and CHEATING PREVENTION TECHNOLOGY:
For the past several years, technology approaches to plagiarism and cheating prevention have focused on detection, meaning the ability for institutions to utilize software to analyze student papers, and to detect whether or not content was plagiarized or assisted by others, other than the designated student. Keystone National High School utilizes detection software products that use various methods to accomplish its analysis including, but not limited to text matching indexed sources, style analysis of content, and tests requiring students to fill in blanks in their course work. This detection technology is based on matching text from previous course work, first time signed in, attitude, and most importantly, the sensation of mood swings.
If a student attempts cheating three times in a course the system will display a warning sign, and if continued, that student will be automatically logged out and will be barred from proceeding any further without the assistance of the administrator. The administrator will then be notified via e-mail of the issue with the student, upon the discretion of the administrator the student may be allowed to continue, be dropped from that course, or even be dismissed from the entire program. Plagiarism and cheating are very serious issues, especially in virtual settings. We believe that our automation software and detection technology will prevent plagiarism and cheating in our virtual learning environment.
Thank you for choosing Keystone National High School, we look forward to serving your needs. You could be on your way towards earning your high school diploma.
God bless you all.

ADMISSIONS POLICY:
To be successful in an online class the student must be a self-starter, with a strong sense of direction and the ability to set goals and follow through with them. A disciplined online student can work independently, stay on task and maintain a regular schedule, such as keeping up with the readings, course assignments, homework, and other expectations. The content of online courses is generally rigorous as those found in traditional classroom settings.
ENROLLMENT POLICY:
The academic counselor will establish the student eligibility requirements (i.e. grade level, course selections, and enrollment status).
Keystone has an open enrollment policy.
The academic calendar of the teacher/online instructor and students who enroll in the class should be established prior to enrollment. The school counselor must be involved in the coordination of the scheduling process, to ensure that proper documentation is established for credit acceptance, and to verify that the student does not exceed the guideline established by the State for purposes of pupil accounting.
NONDISCRIMINATION POLICY:
Keystone National High School prohibits discrimination based on arbitrary considerations of such characteristics as age, color, disability, ethnicity, gender, marital status, national origin, race, religion or veteran status.
ADD/DROP POLICY:
The student will follow a prescribed application and a structured learning process. Students must have a contract agreeing to complete assigned courses and all required assignments. This contract also requires a parent signature, if the student is 16 years old, or 17 years old and under parental supervision.
Once the contract is signed, the only release will be in the event of the student withdrawing from school, or according to the terms of the said contract.
