ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

Fundamental to academic integrity is the presentation of your work as your
own, the acknowledgment of others’ work, and the accurate reporting of
results obtained. It is your responsibility to act truthfully and honestly in your
academic pursuit, and to acquaint yourself with the University’s policies on
academic integrity and discipline. You will be subject to disciplinary action
should you be found to be in violation of these policies.

Plagiarism is one of the most serious academic offenses. If you
present work that originates from other sources without adequate
referencing, for credit in a course, a program of study, or for
ACADEMIC fulfillment of degree requirements, you are committing plagiarism.
This pertains to academic work in any form, including theses,
examinations, tests, term papers and assignments.
LIFE Cheating and other acts of academic dishonesty are also serious
offenses.
