Honesty
University policy deals severely with students caught cheating, copying papers or programs, or participating in dishonest behavior. Plagiarism is a form of cheating. It is claiming a thought or idea as your own when it was actually set forth by someone else. In a paper or presentation, it is assumed that all information originated with you unless you state otherwise. If ideas or thoughts originate with another person, cite that source in your papers and presentations. Do not present another person’s work as your own.
If a student is suspected of dishonesty, a meeting with the instructor will be scheduled. Responses to such an offense may include a zero on the assignment or test, a grade of "F" in the course, or recommendation for removal from the degree program. All instances of dishonesty will be reported to the Vice President for Student Affairs. For more information see the University Calendar/ Handbook.
