ACADEMIC HONESTY POLICY

(Rev. 10/17/98, Rev. 2/1/02)

(A copy of the following shall be provided to each student at the beginning of each class section taught in the Mathematics/Computer Science/Engineering Discipline.)

As a community committed to learning, Georgia Perimeter College recognizes and specifies that students, whether working as individuals or in a group, shall always present to the instructor their own work for an honest grade assessment.

Academic Honesty Procedures have been established by Georgia Perimeter College to insure due process in cases of cheating. A copy of procedures is in the Student Handbook (Appendix I).

Cheating of any kind may result in a penalty ranging from a grade of zero for the work in question to a grade of "F" in the course AND will be referred to the College Court for assignment of penalty that may include suspension from the College. Referral to the College Court is required whether the student admits or denies the violation.

Unless specifically authorized by the instructor, the following are examples of cheating. This is not an exhaustive list.
