GUIDELINES ON ACADEMIC HONESTY
 All works submitted such as homework,
assignments, papers, examinations & the like are
expected to be the student’s own work.
 Students should always take great care to
distinguish their own ideas and knowledge from
information derived from sources.
 The term “sources” includes not only published
primary & secondary material, but also
information & opinions gained directly from other
people. The responsibility for learning the proper
forms of citation lies with the individual student.
 Quotations must be properly placed within
quotation marks and must be completely
acknowledged.
GUIDELINES ON ACADEMIC HONESTY
 Whenever ideas or facts are derived from a student’s
reading or research, the sources must be indicated.
 A student who reiterates or draws on ideas or facts used
in another paper must cite that other paper as source in
their own paper.
 A computer program written to satisfy a course
requirement is, like a paper, expected to be the original
work of the student submitting it. Copying a program from
another student or any other source is a form of academic
dishonesty, as is deriving a program substantially from the
work of another.
 A student’s papers and other works are expected to be
submitted to only one course. If the same or similar work is
to be submitted to any other course, the prior written
permission of the instructor must be obtained. If the same or
similar work is to be submitted to more than one course
during the same term, the prior written permission of the
instructors involved must be obtained.
