Academic Integrity
:
Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary defines plagiarism as: "The appropriation or

evidence appears of students not doing their own work, plagiarism, or outright cheating on
quizzes/exams, the matter will be investigated. If it is concluded that such dishonesty occurred,
the student in question will receive an automatic "F” for the course. Furthermore, the matter will
be reported to the appropriate university office and the instructor will participate in any
proceedings against the guilty party.
