Academic Code of Conduct

Academic integrity is the honest and responsible pursuit of scholarly activity, a practice that depends on a commitment to learning. It is a basic guiding principle for all academic activity at the University of Science & Arts of Oklahoma. All members of the Science & Arts community are obligated to support this practice, as well as to discourage and punish academic dishonesty. Each student must subscribe to the following honor code:

“I will not engage in academic dishonesty or assist others who attempt to do so.”

Any form of academic dishonesty is unacceptable to the University. The following sections describe such offenses and outline the punishments that may be imposed on the student who cheats, ranging from an “F” on an assignment to expulsion from the University with a statement on the student’s transcript that the student was “dismissed for academic dishonesty.” All students are required to follow the academic code of conduct that is outlined in the section that follows.

• Section I: Definitions of Academic Dishonesty
• Section II: Degrees of Academic Dishonesty
• Section III: Procedures
