The no tolerance policy of cheating. . . • Creates a community of honor- a level academic playing field for students and trusting environment in the classroom for faculty. • Connects the faculty and students beyond the classroom through shared trust. • Means students hold each other accountable for their actions.

  5. Do you really want to cheat? • The understanding that the cost greatly outweighs the benefit of cheating- Academically lose twice what might have been gained. • A record in the Dean of Students Office for academic dishonesty can be damaging. • The grade penalty can sometimes set students back a semesters/graduation and become costly financially and academically.

The Honor Code is a guide and faculty fill in the details as it applies to their class. • Give expectations for each assignment/test, eliminate the gray as possible. • Provide copies of old exams and assignments to the Library for review. • Understand and follow the Conduct process-REPORT MISCONDUCT.

  10. The Conduct Process • You will receive an email from OSI or will be contacted by your professor, review our website for instructions. • Given an “I” until case is completed • Students can quickly resolve an allegation if:- it is shown the student is not responsible or. . .- if the student accepts responsibility and the decision of the administrator or faculty member.
