Plagiarism and Academic Dishonesty​
: ACADEMIC HONESTY: Wayland students are expected to conduct themselves according to the highest standards of academic honesty. Academic misconduct for which a student is subject to penalty includes all forms of cheating, such as possession of examinations or examination materials, forgery, or plagiarism. Disciplinary action for academic misconduct is the responsibility of the faculty member assigned to the course. The faculty member is charged with assessing the gravity of any case of academic dishonesty and with giving sanctions to any student involved. The faculty member involved will file a record of the offense and the punishment imposed with the dean of the division, campus dean, and the provost/academic vice president. Any student who has been penalized for academic dishonesty has the right to appeal the judgment or the penalty assessed. Plagiarism “Plagiarism — The attempt to represent the work of another, as it may relate to written or oral works, computer­based work, mode of creative expression (i.e. music, media or the visual arts), as the product of one's own thought, whether the other's work is published or unpublished, or simply the work of a fellow student. 1. When a student submits oral or written work for credit that includes the words, ideas, or data of others, ​
the source of that information must be acknowledged through complete, accurate, and specific references​
, and, if verbatim statements are included, through use of quotation marks as well. By placing one’s name on work submitted for credit, the student certifies the originality of all work not otherwise identified by appropriate acknowledgements. ​
A student will avoid being charged with plagiarism if there is an acknowledgement of indebtedness.​
