Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is submitting one's own work and properly acknowledging the contributions of others. Any violation of this principle constitutes academic dishonesty and is liable to result in a failing grade and disciplinary action. Forms of academic dishonesty include:

• Plagiarism — submitting all or part of another's work as one's own in an academic exercise such as an examination, a computer program, or written assignment.
• Cheating — using or attempting to use unauthorized materials on an examination or assignment, such as using unauthorized texts or notes or improperly obtaining (or attempting to obtain) copies of an examination or answers to an examination.
• Facilitating Academic Dishonesty — helping another commit an act of dishonesty, such as substituting for an examination or completing an assignment for someone else.
• Fabrication — altering or transmitting, without authorization, academic information or records.

Each incident of academic dishonesty will be reported in writing to the appropriate academic Dean. A disciplinary notation for academic dishonesty may be entered on the student's academic record. The penalty for the first incident of academic dishonesty will be a score of zero on the item in question. A second incident of academic dishonesty will result in disciplinary dismissal, unless appealed.
