Academic Honesty and Integrity Policy

 

 

The following policy and expectation has been adopted from the Officer Candidate School in the United States Marine Corps.:

 

Violations of integrity will not be tolerated in this course.  The reputation and foundation of our University and Department are based on the integrity of each graduate.  Any student who observes cheating will immediately report the incident to the course instructor.   Any attempt on the part of a student to give, receive, or have in his possession, any unauthorized information or material during a quiz or examination shall be considered as an integrity violation which constitutes grounds for immediate failure of the course and upon formal investigation, dismissal from the program.  Cheating also consists of any attempt to obtain unauthorized information, whether or not the information is actually received or used.

 

As in the Marine Corps, perception is reality; if it even looks like you are cheating, you are.  Think about what your integrity is worth before jeopardizing it.

 


 

In case you’ve forgotten, or never learned, the meaning of these two important values, they are repeated below:

 

 

Honesty: the quality of being honest; uprightness and fairness; truthfulness, sincerity, or frankness.

 

Integrity: adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty.
