Student Conduct

Each student is held responsible for complying with school policies and obeying local, state, and federal laws. Students should not interfere with others' rights, safety, health, or right to learn. In addition, the school will not tolerate any forms of academic misconduct, including but not limited to:

Cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, or license misuse;
Use of any unauthorized assistance in taking quizzes, tests, or examinations;
Use of sources beyond those authorized by the instructor in writing papers, preparing reports, solving problems, or carrying out other assignments, and use of sources either before or during a certification exam that contain unauthorized and/or illegal information;
The acquisition, without permission, of tests or other academic material belonging to a member of the faculty or staff;
Engaging in any behavior specifically prohibited by a faculty member in the course syllabus or class discussion;
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;
Using deceit to gain academic credit.

Students who violate school policy are subject to judicial sanctions which may include suspension or dismissal from the institution.
