Submit Your Own Work
Academic honesty supports learning through practice, reflection and correction. Plagiarism means presenting another person’s words or ideas as your own. This includes material from print sources, the internet, other students and artificial intelligence. Cite sources and give credit for contributions.
Dishonest Practices
Copying assignments or allowing others to copy yours; sharing answers for individually assigned work.
Looking at another student’s test or quiz, or letting someone view yours.
Using unauthorized materials, passing information or using electronic devices to send or receive answers during an assessment.
Obtaining a secure test, quiz or answer key in advance; keeping, copying, possessing, using or circulating secure examination materials.
Discussing assessment information with students who have not yet taken it.
Incorrectly scoring work graded as a class activity.
Submitting another source’s text or ideas without citation, or buying or using someone else’s work as your own.
Claiming group credit without contributing, or listing a noncontributing partner on the final work.
Artificial Intelligence
Do not use ChatGPT or other AI tools to write any assignment for you. Ask your teacher when AI brainstorming is allowed, and be prepared to show your original ideas.
Consequences
The assignment may receive a zero.
The instructor meets with the student and provides guidance for avoiding future dishonesty.
The instructor informs parents about the incident and consequences.
The instructor may submit a dean referral for documentation.
Repeated dishonesty leads to administrative consequences in addition to these responses.
