Academic Integrity:
- Students are expected to act in accordance with the Baruch College policy on

"Academic dishonesty is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Cheating,
forgery, plagiarism and collusion in dishonest acts undermine the college's
educational mission and the students' personal and intellectual growth.
Baruch students are expected to bear individual responsibility for their work,
to learn the rules and definitions that underlie the practice of academic
integrity, and to uphold its ideals. Ignorance of the rules is not an acceptable
excuse for disobeying them. Any student who attempts to compromise or
devalue the academic process will be sanctioned. "
