Academic Honesty Policy:
ACCC expects unwavering integrity from students in submitted work. Acts of cheating or plagiarism will not be tolerated and the student will be subject to disciplinary action. Students are required to give credit to all individuals who contributed to the completion of an assignment. Specific sources of all information, ideas and quotations not original to the author of the assignment must be referenced. It should be noted that persons facilitating plagiarism or cheating by another student are equally culpable and such persons may also be subject to penalties. All students are reminded that they have an ethical responsibility to guard the academic process against corruption by such acts of dishonesty. In addition to the above, students must follow all course-specific or instructor-specific procedures established for examinations, laboratory experiments, reports and projects. All confirmed breaches of academic honesty will become part of the student’s permanent record. Two such offenses will constitute grounds for academic dismissal. For more information please see the ACCC student Handbook for the complete Academic Honesty Policy.

Because of the importance of academic honesty, academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. Cheating, plagiarism, copying, or anything similar shall result in a failing grade (0) for the assignment and possibly an “F” for the course.
