Academic Integrity and Scholastic Dishonesty

Never copy another person's work, unless you put it in quotations and cite exactly what you are copying, who said it, and where it was printed. Even if you just borrow someone else's idea without quoting it word for word, you must cite where you got the idea. Severe penalties can occur if you copy without giving proper credit. This is known as plagiarism and is one example of scholastic dishonesty. Scholastic dishonesty includes but is not limited to, plagiarism, cheating, collusion, falsifying academic records, and any act designed to give unfair advantage to the student, or the attempt to commit such an act. Detailed definitions of these infractions are found in the General Information Catalog as well as the Dean of Students Office page. All cases of scholastic dishonesty will be submitted to the Dean of Students Office.
