Cheating is the use or attempted use of unauthorized materials, information, or study aids in any academic exercise. Examples of cheating include, but are not limited to:
Research on academic integrity is often focused on text-based disciplines, as are the related policies and procedures of most colleges and universities. This can cause confusion for both students and educators in regards to what would be considered academic misconduct in programs with math courses/components. The following sections, however, provide strategies for helping students in non-text based fields to learn with integrity and avoid academic misconduct.
The Academic Misconduct Procedures Manual which accompanies Policy A25 will point staff towards procedures and resources to help gather information for the identification of potential academic misconduct. Contact the Manager of Library Services for more information.
