Student Code of Conduct Instructional Policy on Academic Dishonesty Academic dishonesty includes cheating and plagiarism. Cheating is the unauthorized use of assistance with an intent to deceive an instructor or any individual assigned to evaluate a student's work submitted to meet course and program requirements. Submission of any materials not prepared by students but presented as their own.
Plagiarism refers to the use of another person's work without giving proper credit to that person.
In addition, the first cheating incident may result in the student's loss of testing privileges in the Learning Resource Center for the current and next semester in which the student is enrolled in the college. Also, a second offense may result in the student's loss of testing privileges in the Learning Resource Center. The instructor or LRC proctor who suspects a student of dishonesty must notify the student as quickly as possible after the alleged infraction. The instructor or LRC proctor shall collect all pertinent materials. The LRC proctor will not make any decisions regarding the suspected dishonesty incident but will report it to the instructor.
