Upholding academic honesty is key to maintaining one’s reputation professionally and succeeding in graduate school. Reusing a paper that you wrote for another class, copying a paragraph from an article and changing every other word, or collaborating on a solo take­home exam are all examples of academic integrity gone wrong.

Examples of dishonest conduct include, but are not limited to:

• Cheating including giving and receiving information in examinations.
• Falsification of data, results or sources.
• Collusion, such as working with another person when independent work is assigned.
• Plagiarism.
• Submitting the same paper or report for assignments in more than one course without permission (self-plagiarism).
