Academic Integrity: |
| |
|
| |
Students
and employees at Oakton Community College are required to
demonstrate academic integrity and follow Oakton’s
Code of Academic Conduct. This code prohibits:
• cheating,
• plagiarism (turning in work not written by you,
or lacking proper citation),
• falsification and fabrication (lying or distorting
the truth),
• helping others to cheat,
• unauthorized changes on official documents,
• pretending to be someone else or having someone
else pretend to be you,
• making or accepting bribes, special favors, or
threats, and
• any other behavior that violates academic integrity.
There are serious consequences to violations of the academic
integrity policy. Oakton’s policies and procedures
provide students a fair hearing if a complaint is made
against you. If you are found to have violated the policy,
the minimum penalty is failure on the assignment and,
a disciplinary record will be established and kept on
file in the office of the Vice President for Student Affairs
for a period of 3 years.
Details of
the Code of Academic Conduct can be found in the Student
Handbook.
