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.
