A Statement on Academic Honesty
The College does not tolerate dishonest academic behavior. Any academic work that students represent as their own must be their own. Students must take responsibility to seek advice from faculty members and academic deans if they have questions about what constitutes academic honesty. Students must not resort to plagiarism, theft and mutilation of library books and periodicals, or any other form of academic dishonesty. Any student found guilty of academic dishonesty will be subject to disciplinary action. Procedures regarding charges of academic dishonesty are described in the Faculty Manual and the Student Handbook. Additional information is found in the booklet Plagiarism: A Cautionary Word to Students, furnished to all entering students and available from the Office of the Dean of Studies.
