Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to,
providing or receiving assistance in a manner not authorized
by the instructor in the creation of work to be submitted for academic
evaluation (e.g. papers, projects, and examinations); any attempt
to influence improperly (e.g. bribery, threats) any member of the
faculty, staff, or administration of the University in any matter
pertaining to academics or research; presenting, as one's own, the
ideas or words of another for academic evaluation; doing unauthorized
academic work for which another person will receive credit or be
evaluated; and presenting the same or substantially the same papers
or projects in two or more courses without the explicit permission
of the instructors involved.
A student who knowingly assists another student in committing an
act of academic misconduct shall be equally accountable for the
violation, and shall be subject to the sanctions and other remedies
described in The Student Code.
Depending on the act, a student could receive an F grade on the
test/assignment, F grade for the course, and could
be suspended or expelled from the University.
Please see the Student
Code for more details and a full explanation of the Academic Misconduct
policies.
Faculty can mention that during the previous semester a number of
students at the Waterbury Campus were given F's for papers due to
Internet Plagiarism. A few students failed their courses due to plagiarized
work.
