Instructional Policy on Academic Dishonesty

Cheating, plagiarism, fabrication and deliberate misrepresentation with intent to mislead are examples of academic dishonesty which are prohibited at CCA as detailed in the Student Code of Conduct. Cheating is the unauthorized use of another student’s work or assistance with intent to deceive an instructor or other individual responsible for evaluating a student’s work, examples of which include:

• Submission of any materials presented by a student as their own but not prepared by that student.
• The unauthorized possession and/or use of notes or books, the solicitation of assistance from another student or the secretive use of another student’s answers during an examination.
• Illegitimate possession or distribution of examination or test materials and/or answer keys to tests and examinations.
•Plagiarism refers to the use of another person’s work without giving proper credit to that person. If a student needs to use or reference another person’s work, the student must give proper credit through the use of appropriate citation format when copying verbatim another person’s work (i.e., words, phrases, sentences, or entire passages); paraphrasing another person’s work (i.e., borrowing but rewording that person’s facts, opinions, or ideas); or summarizing another’s work (i.e., use of one’s own words to condense longer passages into a sentence or two).
