Academic Integrity:
The very nature of higher education requires that students adhere to accepted
standards of academic integrity. Therefore, Oakton Community College has
adopted a Code of Academic Conduct and a Statement of Student Academic Integrity.
These may be found in the Student Handbook. You may also find a summary
of the Code of Academic Conduct in the College Catalog. Among the violations
of academic integrity listed and defined are: cheating, plagiarism, falsification
and fabrication, abuse of academic materials, complicity in academic dishonesty,
falsification of records and official documents, personal misrepresentation
and proxy, and bribes, favors, and threats.
It is the student's responsibility to be aware of behaviors that constitute
academic dishonesty.
Pursuant to the due process guarantees contained in the Policy and Procedures
on Student Academic Integrity, the minimum punishment for the first offense
for a student found in violation of the standards of academic integrity
is failure in the assignment. In addition, a disciplinary record will be
established and kept on file in the office of the Vice-President for Student
Affairs for a period of 3 years. |
