Academic Dishonesty

As per the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities, the Student Code of Conduct defines Academic Dishonesty as "A violation may include cheating, plagiarism, or other forms of academic dishonesty. All assignments submitted by a student must represent her/his own ideas, concepts, and current understanding or must cite the original source. Academic dishonesty includes assisting a student to cheat, plagiarize, or commit any act of academic dishonesty. Attempts to violate academic integrity do not have to be successful to be considered academic dishonesty. Academic dishonesty includes turning in substantial portions of the same academic work to more than one course without the prior permission of the faculty members."
