TRANSCRIPTED CREDIT
Academic Integrity
Lack of academic integrity can be defined 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 . NWTC students , including transcripted credit 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 the violation may have to be further investigated and / or documented in our internal system .
