Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism (changed beginning fall 2013)
The following statement will be included in each course syllabus:
The following statement will be included in each course syllabus:"Wentworth Junior College's official definition
of Acade1nic Dishonesty and Plagiarism is as follows: dishonesty in connection with any College activity,
including but not limited to cheating, plagiarism, or knowingly furnishing false information to the College, as well
as the commit1nent of acts of cheating, lying, and deceit in any of their diverse forms (such as the use of
substitutes for taking examinations, the use of illegal cribs, plagiarism, and copying during exa1ninations ).
Moreover, to willingly and knowingly aid and/or abet, whether directly or indirectly, other parties in co1nmitting
dishonest acts is in itself dishonest. Penalties for infractions of academic dishonesty vary from a warning and
written notification of the Academic Dean, failure for the course, and expulsion from the college. Wentworth
College considers the previous explanation to be official notification of the nature and seriousness of all acts of
academic dishonesty. See the Student Handbook and College Catalog for examples of academic dishonesty.”

an appointment to meet with the student and academic dean to discuss the consequences.
