1. Copying work from another.
2. Using unauthorized materials during a test.
3. Collaborating during a test with any other person by giving or receiving information.
4. Stealing, buying, or otherwise obtaining all or part of an un-administered or
unauthorized test.
5. Selling or giving away all or part of an un-administered or unauthorized test.
6. Bribing any other person to obtain an un-administered or unauthorized test or
information about an un-administered test.
7. Substituting for another student or permitting any other person to substitute for
oneself to take a test.
8. Submitting as your own to meet academic requirements, any form, assignment,
report, essay, lab or other written work, prepared totally or in part by another.
9. Selling, giving, or otherwise supplying to another student to meet academic
requirements any form, assignment, report, essay, lab or other written work.
10. When you use source material in your work, you must be sure that the reader knows
which ideas, words, graphics, photographs, video or audio material are yours and
which are someone elses. Plagiarism is using another writers ideas or work without
acknowledgment. Plagiarism is stealing! How much of another writers work can you
borrow without acknowledgment? None. Using one clause from another writers
work is plagiarism. Rearranging the clauses of another writers sentences is still
plagiarism. Substituting a few words of your own in another writers sentence is still
plagiarism.
The following procedure will be implemented to address any actions defined as
academic dishonesty.
Any teacher observing or becoming aware of an apparent violation of the academic honesty
policy shall contact the coordinator, who in turn will arrange a meeting with the principal.
