responsible manner. Academic integrity is a basic

G-9: Academic Integrity
From the Academic Administrative Policies and
Procedures Manual (AAPPM), the procedures to follow
when academic misconduct is suspected are listed. In
part: “The shared conviction, represented in the
procedures that follow, is that academic integrity is best
taught and reinforced by faculty as an element of the
teaching and learning process. Only in the limited
instances in which faculty believe that disciplinary, as
well as academic, sanctions are called for should the
process move to the Office of Student Conduct.”
This tutorial defines the scope of the plagiarism issue at
Penn State and provides strategies for both discovering
plagiarism and crating assignments which may be able
to reduce plagiarism. Also linked from this site are Penn
State’s Turnitin Plagiarism Detection Tool, sample

Module for students.
Office of Student Conduct
This office is a unit within Student Affairs. Its goal is to
