(Student Handbook, pp. 17-18)
To Avoid Cheating* and Plagiarism*, Academic Honesty Requires Students to:
--Use an approved method to cite sources and identify quoted words, ideas of others and paraphrases
--Complete his or her own work on individual assignments
--Contribute as an equal partner on collaborative assignments, tests, and other assessments
--Neither give nor receive unauthorized help on tests or other assignments
Definitions:
*Cheating: The giving or receiving of unauthorized help during a test, quiz, or on work to be done individually without assistance
*Plagiarism: The use of a published work either in print or from the Internet without crediting the source
Undisputed Violations of the Academic Honor Policy Will Result in:
--The student receiving a zero for that assignment
--The teacher contacting the parent or guardian about the offense
--The teacher reporting the incident to the student's counselor and advisors of academic honor societies
--The teacher arranging an optional parent-student-teacher conference
Disputed Violations of the Academic Honor Policy Will Result in:
--A mandatory parent-student-teacher conference with appropriate consequences to be determined
--An opportunity for administrative review
