Academic Integrity Violations and Penalties

Academic integrity violations occur when students engage in dishonest behavior, such as cheating on exams, plagiarism, or falsifying documents. These actions undermine the trust necessary for a fair educational environment. Penalties for such violations can include failing the assignment, failing the course, or disciplinary actions from the school, which may range from probation to expulsion. Students have rights throughout this process, including the right to be informed of allegations, to present their case, and to appeal decisions. Upholding academic integrity is essential for maintaining the value of education and a fair learning experience for all.
