Academic Integrity

Because the University is an academic community in which commitment to the principles of truth and academic honesty are essential, the Code of Academic Integrity prohibits students from committing the following acts of academic dishonesty.

1. Cheating: intentionally using or attempting to use unauthorized materials, information, or study aids in any academic exercise.
2. Fabrication: intentional and unauthorized falsification or invention of any information or citation in any academic exercise.
3. Facilitating academic dishonesty: intentionally or knowingly helping or attempting to help another violate any provision of the Academic Code.
4. Plagiarism: intentionally or knowingly representing the words or ideas of another as one’s own in any academic exercise. ANY PLAGIARISM will result in a mark of zero for the assignment/exam.
