Academic Ethics: The college may initiate disciplinary proceedings against a
student accused of scholastic dishonesty. Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is
not limited to, statements, acts, or omissions related to applications for
enrollment or the award of a degree, and/or the submission of material as one’s
own work that is not one’s own. Scholastic dishonesty may involve one or more of
the following acts: cheating, plagiarism, collusion, and/or falsifying academic
records. Cheating is the willful giving or receiving of information in an
unauthorized manner during an examination, illicitly obtaining examination
questions in advance, using someone else’s work for assignments as if it were
one’s own, copying computer disks or files, and any other dishonest means of
attempting to fulfill the requirements of a course. Plagiarism is the use of an
author’s words or ideas as if they were one’ s own without giving credit to the
source, including, but not limited to, failure to acknowledge a direct
quotation. Contact the Dean of Students at 972-881-5604 for the student
disciplinary process and procedures or consult the Collin College Student
Handbook.
Academic penalty for scholastic dishonesty: Students will receive a zero on
those assignments where they were found guilty by the Dean of Students for
scholastic dishonesty, i.e., cheating, collusion, etc. as stated above; also,
for repeated occurrences of these incidences, students will receive a failing
grade in this class section.
I reserve the right to change any term on
this syllabus at any time during the semester.
