Academic Misconduct
Students will be strictly penalized for any acts of academic dishonesty on examinations or in their written work. Submitting a written assignment is like an examination or a class test in that it is a way of determining a student's academic ability. As such, any violation of the university's rules for written assignments will result in a failing grade, and may have even further, more serious consequences.
Please make sure to read the following document carefully.
