ACADEMIC HONESTY

Academic honesty is a fundamental attribute of higher learning.  Students who violate the principle of honesty deny themselves an opportunity to master the skills that they are credited to possess, cheat their classmates of deserved recognition, and demean the college and its degrees.  It is a matter of great concern that all members of the college community strive for high standards of personal integrity.

            Evaluation of each student’s level of knowledge and understanding is a vital part of the teaching process, and requires tangible measures such as reports, examinations, and homework.  Any act that interferes with the process of evaluation by misrepresenting the relationship between the work being evaluated and the student’s actual state of knowledge is an act of academic dishonesty.  These acts of dishonesty include but are not limited to:  fraud, cheating, plagiarism, forgery, and facilitating dishonesty.  (Definitions found in Northeast Procedures Manual).
