Academic honesty is an essential part of the learning process at 51²è¹İapp, both in and out of the classroom. Your instructors expect you to do your own work, cite your sources, and acknowledge assistance from others when you receive it. Such acts of academic honesty are closely connected to 51²è¹İapp’s philosophy of self-governance by which you have many choices but are ultimately accountable for your actions within our community. Below you will find information on our Academic Honesty Policy as well as resources and procedures for both students and instructors.

Faculty Handbook Excerpt (pp 17-18): “Honesty is fundamental to the academic enterprise, and it is important that faculty make this expectation clear. Students should be reminded of the need for appropriate documentation in all academic work. Faculty members should take reasonable precautions to ensure that work presented by a student in papers, examinations, and take-home examinations is the student’s own or is acceptably documented. If an instructor find evidence that a student’s submitted work may be in violation of the College’s honesty standards ,that instructor must bring it to the attention of the Committee on Academic Standing. This process ensures that all cases will be adjudicated by the same body. Academic dishonesty is viewed as a grave offense that will incur a serious penalty. The Committee on Academic Standing is responsible for equitable review as well as for maintaining the standards of intellectual integrity in the College.â€
