penallties are also immposed for succh conduct.
Acad
demic Integrrity
The faaculty expects from its stude
ents a high leve el of responsibility and acadeemic honesty. Because the vvalue of an acad demic degree
depends upon the aabsolute integrrity of the work done by the student for thaat degree, it is imperative that a student deemonstrate a
high sstandard of ind
dividual honor in his or her sccholastic work.
Scholastic Dishonessty, any studennt who committs an act of scholastic dishoneesty is subject to discipline. SScholastic dishonesty
