3.0 Sneaky Forms of Academic Dishonesty
Let's talk plagiarism. It's when someone passes off someone else's work as their own. And trust us, it's not cool. Whether you're copying a whole essay or just a part of it, always give credit where it's due. There are other things too, like cheating on exams or using material without approval.

Everyone needs to be on the same page. Familiarize yourself with the academic honesty standards. They're in the University Calendar and the Registration Handbook. No excuses, okay?
5.0 Penalties for Cheating
If you're caught in the act, there are consequences. It could be a warning, reprimand, or even suspension. The severity depends on factors like how deliberate the act was or if it's a repeat offense.
Remember, understanding these rules is on you. Read carefully and ask if you're unsure. Let's keep it honest!
Important Note on Plagiarism
In your papers, always cite your sources. If you're quoting, use quotation marks and give the source. Even if you're paraphrasing, give credit. Plagiarism is a serious offense, and it's not worth the risk. So, do the right thing!
