Any student who submits work that is in violation of the academic honesty policy will be subject to the penalties described in the\u00a0College Catalog<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Student Handbook\u00a0and outlined in LVC\u2019s Academic Honesty Policy below. Lebanon °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø College expects its students to uphold the principles of academic honesty. Violations of these principles will not be tolerated. Students shall neither hinder nor unfairly assist the efforts of other students to complete their work. All individual work that a student produces and submits as a course assignment must be the student\u2019s own.<\/p>\n

Cheating and plagiarism are violations of the academic honesty policy. Cheating is an act that deceives or defrauds. It includes, but is not limited to, looking at another\u2019s exam or quiz; using unauthorized materials during an exam or quiz; providing unauthorized material or °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ¹ÙÍø to another student; colluding on assignments without the permission or knowledge of the instructor; furnishing false information to receive special consideration, such as postponement of an exam, essay, quiz, or deadline of an oral presentation; and fabricating evidence, sources, or source material.<\/p>\n

Plagiarism is the act of submitting as one\u2019s own the work (e.g., the words, ideas, images, compositions, or other intellectual property) of another without accurate attribution. Plagiarism can manifest itself in various ways: it can arise from sloppy, inaccurate note-taking; it can emerge as the incomplete or incompetent citation of resources; it can take the form of presenting passages or work prepared by another as one\u2019s own, whether from an online, oral, or printed source. It may also take the form of re-using one\u2019s own previously submitted work (such as a paper written for a different class) without the current instructor\u2019s knowledge and permission.<\/p>\n

A student is culpable for violations of the academic honesty policy, as outlined above, when caused by either academic negligence or academic dishonesty. An act of academic negligence is when a student engages in behaviors outlined above through irresponsible ignorance or carelessness. Acts of dishonesty involve the intent to deceive or mislead. Initially, the instructor will make the determination that a violation of the policy may have occurred.<\/p>\n
