Academic Dishonesty

 “Academic dishonesty” or “scholastic dishonesty” is defined as all conduct that gives a student an unfair or undeserved academic advantage. It includes cheating, plagiarism, falsifying academic records, unauthorized collaboration/collusion, misrepresenting facts, the abuse of online resources, and multiple submissions.

The consequences of Academic Dishonesty are severe, including permanent expulsion from the university. For a full explanation of what academic dishonesty is, and how it is handled at the University of Texas at Austin, see
