What is Academic Dishonesty?

In promoting a high standard of academic integrity, the University broadly defines Academic

dishonestybasically, all conduct that violates this standard, including any act designed to give an

unfair or undeserved academic advantage, such as:

Cheating

Plagiarism

Unauthorized Collaboration

Collusion

Falsifying Academic Records

Misrepresenting Facts (e.g., providing false information to postpone an exam, obtain an

extended deadline for an assignment, or even gain an unearned financial benefit)

Any other acts (or attempted acts) that violate the basic standard of academic integrity

(e.g., multiple submissionssubmitting essentially the same written assignment for twocourses without authorization to do so)

Several types of Academic dishonestyunauthorized collaboration, plagiarism, and multiple

submissionsare discussed in more detail on this Web site to correct common misperceptions

about these particular offenses and suggest ways to avoid committing them.

For the University's official definition of academic dishonesty, see Section 11-402, Institutional

Rules on Student Services and Activities.
