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).
