The Rensselaer Handbook defines various forms of Academic Dishonesty and procedures for responding to them.
All forms are violations of the trust between students and teachers.
Students should familiarize themselves with this portion of the Rensselaer Handbook and should note that the penalties for plagarism and other forms of cheating can be quite harsh. Credit will not be received in any case of Academic Dishonesty and may result in failure of the course along with disciplinary action. At no time should you copy any part of another student's work or permit someone else to copy any part of your work. For example, work done on campus or other computers should not be made available so that another student could copy any part of your work.
