Academic Integrity Grading
Academic integrity can be defined at NWTC as academic
dishonesty, including cheating, plagiarizing or furnishing
false information on such forms as transcripts or
applications for admission. Failure to report knowledge
of academic dishonesty to a College official may be
considered a violation of the Student Code of Conduct.
As a student at NWTC, students are expected to maintain
personal and professional honesty in all of their actions
at the College. Students must do their own work and take
steps to avoid plagiarism, collusion or cheating. Student
work includes tests, papers, projects, speeches or any
other assigned work that will be evaluated for a grade. • GRADES ARE DUE 72 hours from
the last date of the class.
Examples:
A student is guilty of dishonesty if the
student does any of the following:
• Uses unapproved resources on tests
(ie: internet, class notes)
• Reproduces tests (ie: takes photos of test and shares)
• Submits a paper, examination, computer
program, project, speech, or assignment as his
or her own work if someone else prepared it.
• Copies verbatim (word-for-word) the written
materials of others without putting such
words in quotation marks and or without
documenting the sources of those words.
• Submits the same assignment for more than one
course without the permission of all the instructors.
• Performs and/or accesses any work for another
student, regardless of delivery mode.
