Cheating and plagiarism constitute fraudulent misrepresentation for which no
credit can be given and for which appropriate sanctions are warranted and will
be applied.
The university affirms that acts of cheating and plagiarism by students
constitute a subversion of the goals of the institution, have no place in the
university and are serious offenses to academic goals and objectives, as well
as to the rights of fellow students.
``Cheat'' means to intentionally misrepresent the source, nature, or other
conditions of academic work so as to accrue undeserved credit, or to cooperate
with someone else in such misrepresentation. Cheating includes, but is not
limited to:
- Obtaining or retaining partial or whole copies of examinations, tests or
quizzes before these are distributed for student use;
- Using notes, textbooks or other information in examinations, tests and
quizzes, except as expressly permitted;
- Obtaining confidential information about examinations, tests or quizzes
other than that released by the instructor;
- Securing, giving or exchanging information during examinations;
- Presenting data or other material gathered by another person or group as
one's own;
- Falsifying experimental data or information;
- Having another person take one's place for any academic performance without
the specific knowledge and permission of the instructor;
- Cooperating with another to do one or more of the above;
- Using a substantial portion of a piece of work previously submitted for
another course or program to meet the requirements of the present course or
program without notifying the instructor to whom the work is presented; and
- Presenting falsified information in order to postpone or avoid
examinations, tests, quizzes, or other academic work.
``Plagiarize'' means to take and present as one's own a material portion of the
ideas or words of another or to present as one's own an idea or work derived
from an existing source without full and proper credit to the source of the
ideas, words, or works. As defined, plagiarize includes, but is not limited to:
- a.
- The copying of words, sentences and paragraphs directly from the work of
another without proper credit;
- b.
- The copying of illustrations, figures, photographs, drawings, models, or
other visual and nonverbal materials, including recordings of another without
proper credit; and
- c.
- The presentation of work prepared by another in final or draft form as one's
own without citing the source, such as the use of purchased research papers.
