Academic
Integrity
Cheating
is academic dishonesty, and it is a major violation of academic
integrity. Copying other students' assignments, allowing other students
to use your work, looking at class notes or other students’ papers during a
quiz or test are all examples of cheating.
Cheating is never a viable solution to academic problems.
It is within this context that the
following policies are established:
ü The first time a student is caught cheating: the
student will be given a zero on the assignment with the opportunity to redo the
task within the next 72 hours. The two
grades will be averaged together to compute the final grade.
ü If the infraction occurs again, the student will
receive a zero on the assignment without the opportunity to redo it. In addition, a phone call will be made home
and guidance personnel will be notified.
