Forms of Academic Dishonesty

Acts of academic dishonesty may be categorized in one of the following ways:

1. Cheating: using or attempting to use unauthorized material in any academic exercise.
2. Fabrication and Falsification: altering or inventing any information or citation in any academic exercise.
3. Multiple Submission: submitting substantial portions of the same academic work for credit more than once without authorization.
4. Plagiarism: presenting the work of another as one’s own (i.e. without proper acknowledgment of the source). Citation is unnecessary when ideas or information are considered common knowledge.
5. Abuse of Materials: damaging, destroying, stealing, or in any way obstructing access to library or other academic resource material or academic records.
6. Complicity in Academic Dishonesty: intentionally helping or attempting to help another commit an act of academic dishonesty; unauthorized collaboration on any academic work. (Faculty members must clarify their expectations regarding permissible and nonpermissible collaboration.)
