Academic Integrity Academic integrity is a fundamental principle of collegial life and is essential to the credibility of the College's educational programs. Moreover, because grading may be competitive, students who misrepresent their academic work violate the right of their fellow students. The College, therefore, views any act of academic dishonesty as a serious offense requiring disciplinary measures, including course failure, suspension, and even expulsion from the College. Violations of academic integrity include, but are not limited to cheating, aiding or suborning cheating or other acts of academic dishonesty, plagiarism, and misrepresentation of data, falsification of academic records or documents and unauthorized access to computerized academic or administrative records or systems. Definitions of these violations may be found in the college catalog. Plagiarism Plagiarism is the presenting of others' ideas as if they were your own. When you write a paper, create a project, do a presentation or create anything original, it is assumed that all the work, except for that which is attributed to another author or creator, is your own. Plagiarism is considered a serious academic offense and may take the following forms: 1. Copying word-for-word from another source and not giving that source credit. 2. Paraphrasing the work of another and not giving that source credit. 3. Adopting a particularly apt phrase as your own 4. Using an image or a copy of an image without crediting its source 5. Paraphrasing someone else's line of thinking in the development of a topic as if it were your own. 6. Receiving excessive help from a friend or elsewhere, or using another project as if it were your own. The penalties for plagiarism are at minimum failure on the particular piece of work to failure in the course.
