Academic Integrity:
The academic community is operated on the basis of honesty, integrity,
and fair play. It is the expectation that all students, as members of the college community, adhere
to the highest levels of academic integrity. This means that:
•
Students are responsible for submitting their own work. Student work must not be
plagiarized.
•
Students must not cooperate on oral or written examinations or work together on
evaluated assignments without authorization.
To learn how to avoid plagiarism in your work, review the website from Purdue University, "Is It
Plagiarism Yet?"
Violations of academic principles such as cheating, plagiarism, or other academic improprieties
will be handled using the guidelines outlined in the Student Handbook, pages 18, 19, and 37.
Disabilities and Special Needs:
If you have a disability for which you need accommodation, contact the Learning Center to
request disability support services: phone: 701-228-5477 or toll free 1-888-918-5623
