Violations listed below will be prosecuted.
Examples have been provided for
the purpose of illustration and are not intended to be
all-inclusive.
1. PLAGIARISM. Intentionally presenting the work of another
as one's own (i.e., without proper acknowledgement of the
source).
Typical Examples Include:
Using another's work from print, web, or other sources
without acknowledging the source; quoting from a source
without citation; using facts, figures, graphs, charts or
information without acknowledgement of the source.
2. CHEATING. Improper application of any information or
material that is used in evaluating academic work.
Typical Examples Include:
Copying from another student's paper or receiving
unauthorized assistance during a quiz, test or examination;
using books, notes or other devices (e.g., calculators, cell
phones, or computers) when these are not authorized;
procuring without authorization a copy of or information
about an examination before the scheduled exercise;
unauthorized collaboration on exams.
3. UNAUTHORIZED GROUP WORK. Unauthorized collaborating with
others.
Typical Examples Include:
Working with another person or persons on any activity that
is intended to be individual work, where such collaboration
has not been specifically authorized by the instructor.
4. FABRICATION, FALSIFICATION, AND MISREPRESENTATION.
Intentional and unauthorized altering or inventing of any

reporting false information about practicum or clinical
experiences; altering grade reports or other academic
records; submitting a false excuse for absence or tardiness
in a scheduled academic exercise; lying to an instructor to
increase a grade.
5. MULTIPLE SUBMISSION. Submitting the same academic work
(including oral presentations) for credit more than once
without instructor permission. It is each instructor’s
responsibility to make expectations regarding incorporation
of existing academic work into new assignments clear to the

Typical Examples Include:
Submitting the same paper for credit in two courses without
instructor permission; making minor revisions in a credited
paper or report (including oral presentations) and

Stealing or destroying library or reference materials needed
for common academic purposes; hiding resource materials so
others may not use them; destroying computer programs or
files needed in academic work; stealing, altering, or
intentionally damaging another student's notes or laboratory
experiments. (This refers only to abuse as related to an
academic issue.)
7. COMPLICITY IN ACADEMIC DISHONESTY. Intentionally helping
another to commit an act of academic dishonesty.
Typical Examples Include:
Knowingly allowing another to copy from one's paper during
an examination or test; distributing test questions or
substantive information about the material to be tested
before a scheduled exercise; deliberately furnishing false
information.
