What is Academic Honesty?
A violation of Academic Honesty consists of any attempt to falsify, fabricate or tamper with data, information, records, or any other material that is relevant to a student's academic career. Below are some specific examples of Academic Dishonesty but may not encompass a complete list:
- Cheating on exams or assignments by the use of books, electronic devices, notes, or other aids when these are not permitted, or by copying from another student.
- Collusion: two or more students helping one another on an exam or assignment when it is not permitted.
- Ringers: taking an exam for someone else, or permitting someone else to take one's exam.
- Submitting the same paper in more than one course without permission of the instructors.
- Plagiarizing: copying someone else's writing or paraphrasing it too closely, even if it is only some of your written assignment, without proper citation.
- Falsifying documents or records related to credit, grades, status (e.g. assignments or transcripts), or other academic matters.
- Altering an exam or paper after it has been graded in order to request a grade change.
- Stealing, concealing, destroying, or inappropriately modifying classroom or other instructional material, such as posted exams, library materials, laboratory supplies, or computer programs.
- Preventing relevant material from being included in the grading process on any assignment or examination.
- Presenting fabricated excuses for missed assignments or tests.
- Electronic Devices: electronic communication devices, including cellular phones, beepers, speakers, calculators and headphones must be secured in a closed container and should be turned off during any examination.
