Academic Misconduct

Academic misconduct is defined as any activity that tends to undermine the academic integrity of the institution. It may involve human, hard-copy, or electronic resources including cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, interference, violation of course rules, and the facilitation of academic dishonesty. It is a faculty member’s responsibility to report all cases of academic misconduct to the dean of students or appropriate official.
