Academic Integrity
As one of the components of
professional and ethical behavior, academic integrity is a very serious
matter. In academic matters, mutual
responsibility between faculty and students requires cooperation and trust in
maintaining the ideals and spirit of academic and professional integrity. Each student is responsible for doing his/her
own work. Any student who witnesses or
has reason to suspect an incident of cheating or plagiarism has an ethical and
professional obligation to report it to a faculty member. Any student suspected of cheating or of
failing to report academic dishonesty, will be reported to the Program Director
and may be subject to disciplinary action as specified in the Institute
Catalog.
All students and faculty
will sign a form, acknowledging review of the “Policy on Academic Integrity,”
as a condition of enrollment. For more
information, see the “Academic Integrity” section under Students’ Rights and
Responsibilities in the Institute Catalog.
