Academic Integrity, Academic Misconduct

Academic misconduct may be found in any action that tends to distort the accurate assessment of any student’s individual accomplishments that are evaluated for the purpose of grading or conferring academic credit. Note that a student may be guilty of academic misconduct, for example, by cheating, collaborating, plagiarizing, or by allowing another student to cheat, collaborate, or plagiarize. Note also that the distortion applies, for example, to exams, homework assignments, and laboratory work. To the extent that any class activity (for example: attendance or participation) is used for evaluation for the purpose of grading or conferring academic credit, falsifying or distorting such activity, or permitting another student to falsify or distort such activity, represents academic misconduct.

Additional guidance about what represents academic integrity and misconduct, and related university-wide policies and procedures are available at the following locations:

Course-specific exceptions or amplifications to the departmental and university statements outlined above will be provided by the faculty instructor in writing, preferably as part of the course syllabus.

Note: Students should not request nor accept guidance on these matters from a teaching assistant, fellow student, or anyone other than the faculty instructor of record for this course.

Disabilities Statement

Any student who feels s/he may need an accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact the Office for Disability Services at 614-292-3307 in room 150 Pomerene Hall to coordinate reasonable accommodations for students with documented disabilities.
