Academic Dishonesty
When
College officials award credit, degrees, and certificates, they
must assume the absolute integrity of the work done by you;
therefore, it is important that you maintain the highest standard
of honor in your scholastic work.
Academic dishonesty
shall not be condoned. When such misconduct is established as
having occurred, it subjects you to possible disciplinary actions
ranging from admonition to dismissal, along with any grade penalty
the instructor might, in appropriate cases, impose. Procedural
safeguards of due process and appeal are available to you in
disciplinary matters. Academic dishonesty, as a general rule,
involves one of the following acts:
- Cheating on
an examination or quiz, including the giving, receiving, or
soliciting of information and the unauthorized use of notes
or other materials during the examination or quiz.
- Buying, selling,
stealing, or soliciting any material purported to be the unreleased
contents of a forthcoming examination, or the use of such
material.
- Substituting
for another person during an examination or allowing such
substitution for one's self.
- Plagiarizing.
This is the act of appropriating passages from the work of
another individual, either word for word or in substance,
and representing them as one's own work. This includes any
submission of written work other than one's own.
- Colluding with
another person in the preparation or editing of assignments
submitted for credit, unless such collaboration has been approved
in advance by the instructor.
- Knowingly furnishing
false information to the College; forgery and alteration or
use of College documents or instruments of identification
with the intent to defraud.
