Students in violation of the code of academic ethics may automatically receive a zero for their assignment, their violation may be part of their permanent record, and further discipline could be taken. The determination of action taken or discipline given will be dependent upon the joint decision of the Vice President of Academic Affairs, Academic Dean, and the professor involved.
Code of Academic Ethics Rochester College students are expected to practice and uphold academic integrity and honesty. Students must assume that individual, unaided work on exams, homework, and written projects is expected unless the instructor specifically says otherwise. Academic integrity means representing oneself and one’s work honestly. Misrepresentation is cheating or stealing because a student claims credit for ideas or work that are not actually his/hers and therefore is attempting to obtain a grade that is not actually earned. Academic dishonesty includes: 1. Cheating on exams or academic work by using unauthorized notes or materials.
