Glendale
Community College District 6133 Board Policy
Policy on Academic Honesty College study is the process of acquainting
students with values and procedures central to scholarship. All students are expected to do their own
work. All forms of cheating and
plagiarism are absolutely forbidden.
This is the official policy of Glendale Community College. The following behaviors serve as an
operational description of student violations of academic honesty: 1. The student takes or copies answers
from another student or source or uses unauthorized materials during a test. 2. The student turns in an assignment
(labs, art projects, homework, prewritten or purchased papers, or work
downloaded from the Internet) which is not his/her own. 3. The student uses words or ideas which
are not his/her own without acknowledgment of the source (plagiarism). 4. The student knowingly deceives an
instructor with the intent to improve his/her standing in class. 5. The student submits the same paper or
project previously submitted in another class without the permission of the
current instructor. 6. The student depends upon tools or
assistance prohibited by the instructor in writing papers, preparing reports,
solving problems, or carrying out other assignments. 7. The student acquires, without
permission, tests or other academic materials belonging to a member of the GCC
faculty or staff. When a student engages in academic dishonesty,
faculty have the options of requiring the student to see a college counselor;
assigning a lower grade, including F or O, on the assignment in question;
assigning a lower or failing (F) final grade in the course (or denying
promotion from a non-credit course). Violations of this Policy will be reported
to the Executive Vice President of Instruction and will become part of the
Glendale College Cheating Incident file, unless the instructor finds compelling
reasons not to report a violation. The
Executive Vice President of Instruction may then impose sanctions authorized by
Administrative Regulation 5420. The
sanctions include, but are not limited to, issuing a reprimand, suspending the
student for up to ten days of instruction, and/or requesting a hearing by the
Campus Judicial Board to see if the student should be suspended, or permanently
expelled from the college. The student has the right of due process for
all the above sanctions. Adopted: 1/27/97 |
