Cheating
and Plagiarism*
A student using other than approved materials
when taking a test or who gives or receives information during an examination
is guilty of cheating.
Plagiarism
is presenting the work of others as one’s own. The “work
of others” includes any work bought or borrowed from another student as
well as work copied from a book, magazine, newspaper, or other medium.
Complicity
in another’s act of plagiarism is itself an act of plagiarism.
These acts are considered academic violations and are covered
by the Statement on Campus Rights and Responsibilities.
Discovery of
cheating or plagiarism could lead to the maximum sanction of
course failure and expulsion from school.
The
Statement on Campus Rights and Responsibilities is found on page 67 of the Student
Handbook.
