Academic and Institution Policies
Academic Integrity:
The academic community is operated on the basis of honesty, integrity and fair play. Occasionally, this trust is
violated when cheating occurs, either inadvertently or deliberately. This Code will serve as the guideline for
cases where cheating, plagiarism or other academic improprieties have occurred.
1. The primary responsibility of the students, faculty and administration is to create an atmosphere where the
honesty of individuals will not be questioned.
a. Faculty members are responsible for providing guidelines concerning cheating and plagiarism at the
beginning of each course, and should use precautionary measures and security in cases where cheating is
likely to occur.
