Academic honesty is essential in student conduct. An academic honesty violation includes, but is not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, forgery, falsification, alteration, copying, fabrication, bribery, and collaboration without expressed permission. Beal University students are responsible for the preparation and presentation of work representing their own effort, skills and achievements. Students will cite any quotations, materials or paraphrased materials taken from the work of others and fully acknowledge and identify the sources. The work of others includes published works as well as work completed by other students, and encompasses projects, assignments, computer exercises and exams. Cheating, including plagiarism or self-plagiarism, will result in an “F” grade for the assignment. If the offense occurs again, the student will receive an “F” for the course and may be grounds for dismissal from the University.
