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 cease where cheating, plagiarism or 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. 

b.

Students are responsible for submitting their own work.  Students who cooperate 

on oral or written examinations or work without authorization share the 

responsibility for violation of academic principles and the students are subject to 

disciplinary action even when one of the students is not enrolled in the course 

where the violation occurred.
