Students at all levels are expected to pursue their studies with integrity and honesty in all school settings. All work that a student submits will be the original and authentic work of the individual student unless otherwise specified in the assignment.

 

Students have the responsibility to:

• Uphold the highest standards of academic integrity in the student’s own work

• Submitting an assignment purchased or otherwise obtained from a third party

• Distributing test questions, homework questions, assignments and other school testing or evaluation materials, or answers thereto in a manner that enables or advances the examples of Academic Dishonesty set forth herein
• Willfully or knowingly taking an online course or examination on behalf of another person, or allowing someone to take an online course or examination for you

(These are examples for guidance purposes and do not constitute an exhaustive list.)
