WVSCTC has an exemplary standard of conduct relating to academic honesty. Thus, the guiding principle of academic integrity shall be that a student shall not submit any work that he/she has not produced. Students shall be guilty of violating the honor code if they:
1. Represent the work of others as their own.
2. Use or obtain unauthorized assistance in any academic work.
3. Give unauthorized assistance to other students.
4. Modify, without instructor approval, an examination, paper, record, or report for the purpose of obtaining additional credit.
5. Misrepresent the content of submitted work.
6. Use notes or other means to assist in taking an examination beyond what is allowed by the instructor.
7. Use a calculator during examinations unless permitted by the instructor.
The penalty for violating the honor code is severe. Any student violating the honor code is subject to receive a failing grade for the course and will be reported to the Office of Student Affairs. If a student is unclear about whether a particular situation may constitute an honor code violation, the student should meet with the instructor to discuss the situation.
General advice and interaction is encouraged outside of class. Each person, however, must develop his or her own solutions to assignments. A student may not use or copy (by any means) another's work (or portions of it) and represent it as his/her own. If you need help on an assignment, contact the instructor.
If an instructor notices cheating in progress, either in his own class or in another class, he should announce the fact that "I strongly suspicion that cheating may be in progress" to the perpetrators, have the cheating activities ceased, get the students names, and confiscate cheating materials such as unauthorized notes. The event should be reported in writing capturing as many of the details as possible, including student names, along with any confiscated materials, and submitted to the department head.
