CITIZENSHIP & ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Academic integrity is defined as the conscious intent of students and staff to honestly and responsibly use original, unique yet informed thoughts, ideas, opinions, and products toward the achievement of personal or professional academic goals. A violation against the Academic Code of Ethics is an act that could deceive, cheat, or defraud so as to promote or enhance one’s academic standing. Academic dishonesty also includes knowingly or actively assisting any person in the commission of a violation of the Code. A violation of the Academic Code of Ethics may result in disciplinary action. Violations can include, but are not limited to:
- Plagiarism – Failure to use original, unique yet informed ideas, thoughts, words, images, or products with the intent to represent the work of others as one’s own.
- Cheating – the willful intent to misuse sources for personal gain.
- Forgery/falsifying documents – Counterfeiting documents for personal unwarranted advantage.
