Academic Honesty Agreement
The essential rules of academic honesty are that every assignment should be the original work of the student who turns it in, and appropriate credit should be given to all sources used.
Academic dishonesty is evidenced by cheating or plagiarizing and involves an attempt by a student to show possession of knowledge and skills he/she does not possess. Students should consult with the instructor if anything about these guidelines is unclear. By agreeing to take a summer course, you agree to all the terms and conditions stated.
Student, Parent/Guardian, and Teacher Responsibilities:
-
Students are expected to adhere to the principles of academic honesty in completing all tests, quizzes, reports, assignments, discussions, and other academic work represented as their own.
-
Parents/guardians are expected to support the spirit and intent of this agreement by reviewing the principles of academic honesty with their student and encouraging the student to practice them.
-
Teachers are expected to promote the academic honesty policy by making clear to students that the principles of academic honesty will be strictly enforced, and to act on and enforce appropriate consequences when a student is found to have violated the academic honesty policy.
Students found to have been involved in any act of academic dishonesty may be subject to a failing grade on related assignments, removal from the class with no credit, suspension from their host school, and/or other appropriate consequences as indicated by the host school’s policies and procedures.
