ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: Students are expected to adhere to the academic
integrity guidelines outlined in the Allegheny College Honor Code. While
collaborative efforts are encouraged, all submitted material – including
examinations, online homework and quizzes - must be solely one’s own work. Under
the rubric of “academic integrity,” it is expected that students respect the learning
environment in the classroom. This includes, among other things, arriving to class
on time, turning off cell phones, and treating other students with courtesy and
consideration.
