Part Two Academic Integrity General Information Resources Center Learning and Teaching offers tutorial assistance in some introductory classes and workshops in general study skills. In addition, each college has a registrar and a Student Service Office where you may seek assistance. Academic Integrity American academic institutions have an important code of ethics regarding use of published materials for research, written reports etc. Failure to cite the sources of reference is plagiarism and is a violation of the University's Code of Conduct.
Students assume responsibility for the content and integrity of their academic work.
Students are subject to campus disciplinary proceedings if they knowingly represent the work of others as their own, give fraudulent assistance to another student, fabricate data to support laboratory or field work, forge a signature to certify completion or approval of any assignment. Helping a student during exams, either in-class or take home tests is also a violation of integrity. Thus, academic integrity requires that all submitted work, research written reports, examinations, term projects and laboratory reports be the students' own work. Details on academic ethics and the consequences of its violation and other student codes can be found in the Cornell Policy Notebook. The syllabus contains important information on texts to be used for the class, test dates, project due dates etc.
