Academic Integrity:
|
|
|
Students, Faculty and
administration 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,
- making unauthorized changes
in official documents,
- pretending to be someone
else or having someone else to 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 with a fair hearing if a complaint is made. 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.
