There are many forms of Academic Dishonesty, SOME include the following:
- Cheating includes, copying from others during an examination; communicating exam answers with other students during an examination; offering another person’s work as one’s own; and taking an examination for another student or having someone take an examination for oneself.
- Dishonest Conduct includes, stealing or attempting to steal an examination or answer key from the instructor; changing or attempting to change academic records without proper sanction; submitting substantial portions of the same work for credit in more than one course without consulting all instructors involved; forging add/drop/change cards and other enrollment documents, or altering such documents after signatures have been obtained; and allowing another student to copy off of one’s own work during a test.
Plagiarism is intellectual theft. It means use of the intellectual creations of another without proper attribution. Plagiarism may take two main forms, which include stealing or passing off as one’s own the ideas or words, images, or other creative works of another; and using a creative production without crediting the source, even if only minimal information is available to identify it for citation.
Please note: Credit must be given for every direct quotation, for paraphrasing or summarizing a work. Students who have been found committing Academic Dishonesty may be suspended or disqualified from the university.
