Academic Dishonesty

- The acquisition, without their permission, of tests or other academic material belonging to a faculty or staff member
- Engaging in any behavior specifically prohibited by a faculty member
- Unauthorized file sharing (authorized file sharing guidelines for a class are defined by the instructor); copying work or allowing work to be copied in whole or in part through any means (electronic copy, printed copy, manually-created copy, etc.)
- Collaboration beyond the scope that is allowed by the instructor

- Plagiarism
- Falsification of materials submitted for a grade
