Academic
Integrity
For Students
The Student Code is an important document all students and instructors
should familiarize themselves with, paying particular attention
to the preamble on Academic
Integrity and the section on
Infractions of Academic Integrity—Definitions. Instructors
should review the Code, especially since every course sylabus ought
to include expectations of course work and grading as well as key
provisions of the Student Code, including ". . . policies and
procedures concerning the use before examinations of shared study
aids, examination files, and related materials and forms of assistance.
Such advance notice is especially important in the case of take-home
examinations. "
