Academic Honesty and other Departmental Policies
A standard of honesty, fairly applied to all students, is
essential to a learning environment. Students abridging
a standard of honesty
must accept the consequences; penalties are assessed by appropriate classroom
instructors
or other designated people. Serious cases may
result in discipline at the college or University level and may
result in suspension or dismissal. Dismissal from
a college for academic dishonesty constitutes
dismissal from
the University.
