Academic Honesty:

From the Provost’s Office:

“As a core part of its mission, the University provides students with the opportunity to further their educational goals through programs of study and research in an environment that promotes freedom of inquiry and academic responsibility. Accomplishing this mission is only possible when intellectual honesty and individual integrity prevail.

Each University student is required to be familiar with and abide by the University’s ‘Academic Integrity Policy’ which may be found at…. Students with questions about how these policies apply to a particular course or assignment should immediately contact their instructor.”
