Honesty

Instructors may proctor examinations at their own discretion unless some other policy is adopted by the department in which they work. In cases of student dishonesty, if the student and faculty member concerned can resolve the case agreeably, the matter shall be considered settled and the action taken reported to the dean of the school/college in which the instructor teaches and to the dean of students. If the matter cannot be settled satisfactorily between the student and faculty member or if the situation calls for a stronger penalty than punitive grading, the case should be referred to the dean of students.

Dishonesty in connection with any University activity constitutes misconduct for which students may be subject to administrative action or disciplinary penalties. Cheating, plagiarism, or knowingly furnishing false information to the University are examples of dishonesty. (See University Regulations or Academic Procedure Manual, page O-47.)
