TRANSCRIPTED CREDIT
Academic Integrity
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 .
Transcripted credit teachers should reach out to their NWTC faculty mentor to explain the concern and seek guidance on the best response that would align with NWTC Student Code of Conduct . There is a possibility that the violation may have to be further investigated and / or documented in our internal system .
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 .
