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.
