Academic Code of Conduct


From the 2006-2007 Student Handbook: (view)

 

"The principle of Academic Integrity prohibits all forms of academic dishonesty – including cheating, lying, bribery and plagiarism. The following examples illustrate conduct that violates Academic Integrity, but this list is not exhaustive.

  1. Giving or receiving unauthorized assistance, or attempting to give or receive such assistance in connection with the performance of any academic work.

  2. Unauthorized use of materials or information of any type or the unauthorized use of any electronic or mechanical device in connection with the completion of any academic work.

  3. Access to the contents of any test or examination or the purchase, sale, or theft of any test or examination prior to its administration.

  4. Use of another person’s work without proper acknowledgment of source, i.e. plagiarism.

  5. Intentional misleading of any person in connection with any academic work (including the scheduling, completion, performance, or submission of any such work).

  6. Offering or giving any favor or thing of value for the purpose of influencing improperly a grade or other evaluation of a student in an academic program.

  7. Conduct intended to interfere with an instructor’s ability to evaluate accurately a student’s competency or performance in an academic program.

Only the appropriate faculty member can “authorize” assistance, use of materials, etc. Whenever a student is uncertain as to whether conduct would violate Academic Integrity, it is the responsibility of the student to seek clarification from the appropriate faculty member prior to engaging in such conduct.."
