An integral part of the mission of Walla Walla College is to prepare its students to be responsible individuals with Christian values. The College expects all members of its community to have integrity, including a steadfast adherence to honesty. Faculty have a responsibility to foster integrity by example and instruction.
Students have a responsibility to learn, respect, and practice integrity.
All acts of dishonesty are unacceptable, including cheating, plagiarism, forgery, misrepresentation, falsification, prohibited collaboration, and prohibited use of files. Departments or schools may have specific criteria for behavior and skills suitable to their disciplines which will be communicated to students, typically in course syllabi. Academic Administration may consult the file when writing college recommendations. The file will be destroyed five years after the offense, unless the student is still in attendance. Upon review of the report, this administrator may initiate a request for further action.
