Academic Integrity

Academic Integrity, based on honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility, is a fundamental principle of scholarship in higher education. Clarkson’s Academic Integrity Policy prohibits plagiarism (using another person’s writing or copying any work without proper citation), falsification, unauthorized collaboration during a test or on an assignment, or substitution for another student to take an exam, course, or test, and other forms of academic dishonesty.

If you are to benefit from this class and be properly evaluated for your contributions, you need to be familiar with and follow Clarkson University’s Academic Integrity policy. Please review this policy online: Graduate section IV – Academic Integrity. Work that violates this policy will not be tolerated. Students who are found responsible for violating the Academic Integrity Policy will have both a university process sanction and an academic outcome that could include a failing grade on the assignment or exam or a failing grade for the course.

Please refer to Clarkson Library’s Guide to Plagiarism and the Guide to Citing Sources for assistance in avoiding plagiarism and properly citing sources.
