Students may not utilize calculators for quizzes or exams. The college expects all students to maintain high standards of academic honesty and integrity. Plagiarism is clearly an example of a violation of the Academic Ethics and is a major offense. Plagiarism is defined by the college to be the use of any other person's work or ideas as though the work or ideas were you own, without giving the appropriate credit. Faculty are required to provide students with a clear written definition of plagiarism, applicable to their discipline, as part of their course syllabus, which they provide to students during the first two-weeks of each course.
Students are responsible for understanding what plagiarism is in each of their classes.
The college's definition and that of your faculty will be used as a criterion against which all plagiarism allegations will be judged. Instances of plagiarism will be dealt with first by the faculty person who discovers, or is made aware of, the incident. Faculty must discuss the evidence of plagiarism with the student prior to taking action. Faculty who take action as a result of a plagiarism incident may report such action to the Dean of Students. There shall be a range of penalties at the discretion of the faculty person which may extend to a recommendation to the Dean of Students for expulsion from the college.
