Academic Integrity
A fundamental tenet of all educational
institutions is academic honesty; academic work depends
upon respect for and acknowledgement of the research and ideas of
others. Misrepresenting
someone else's work as one's own is a serious offense in any academic
setting and it will not be
condoned.
Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to, providing or
receiving assistance in a
manner not authorized by the instructor in the creation of work to be
submitted for academic
evaluation (e.g. papers, projects, and examinations); any attempt to
influence improperly (e.g.
bribery, threats) any member of the faculty, staff, or administration
of the University in any matter
pertaining to academics or research; presenting, as one's own, the
ideas or words of another for
academic evaluation; doing unauthorized academic work for which another
person will receive
credit or be evaluated; and presenting the same or substantially the
same papers or projects in two
or more courses without the explicit permission of the instructors
involved.
A student who knowingly assists another student in committing an
act of
academic misconduct
shall be equally accountable for the violation, and shall be subject to
the sanctions and other
remedies described in The Student Code.
