Academic Honesty Cheating and plagiarism will not be tolerated. If you are caught cheating or plagiarizing in any form, you will receive a failing grade for the course and you may be reported to the university for appropriate action. If you are uncertain what constitutes cheating, please consult your current university catalog, student handbook, or therapist. Academic honesty is expected and required. Academic dishonesty defrauds all those who depend on the integrity of University courses and is a serious offense covered by Section 41301, Title 5 of the California Administrative Code.
