Academic Honesty
We promote and rely on mutual respect, civility, concern for others and academic integrity in the pursuit of academic excellence. Academic dishonesty undermines all of these. All forms of academic dishonesty, unfair advantage, and plagiarism will have consequences in all instances. All members of the campus community have an obligation to report any suspected instance of academic dishonesty to the Associate Dean for Graduate Programs in the School of Education. In all cases where faculty or students suspect academic dishonesty, both faculty members and students have the obligation to bring the matter to the attention of the relevant Department Chair. All students will be held accountable to and must become familiar with the definitions, procedures, and sanctions outlined here and in the SOE Graduate Student Code of Conduct, whether or not the course syllabus explicitly specifies a policy on academic integrity.
For any act of academic dishonesty, the School of Education may impose one or more of the following sanctions or an additional sanction: rewriting the assignment and/or failing the assignment, failing the course, taking a mandated workshop or other remedial course, academic warning or probation, denial of placement for or removal from student teaching, withholding a recommendation for certification, and/or suspension or expulsion from the graduate program.
