Academic Honesty:
In recent years, there has been an increased number of cheating incidents in many UC campuses, and unfortunately, UCSC is no exception.  The School of Engineering has a zero tolerance policy for any incident of academic dishonesty.   If cheating occurs, there may be consequences within the context of the course, and in addition, every case of academic dishonesty is referred to the studentsâ college Provost, who then sets the disciplinary process in motion.  Cheating in any part of the course may lead to failing the course and suspension or dismissal from the university

What is cheating?  In short, it is presenting someone elseâs work as your own.  Examples would include copying another student's written homework assignment, or allowing your own work to be copied.  Although you may discuss problems with fellow students, your collaboration must be at the level of ideas only.  Legitimate collaboration ends when you "lend", "borrow", or "trade" written solutions to problems, or in any way share in the act of writing your answers.  If you do collaborate (legitimately) or receive help from anyone, you must credit them by placing their name(s) at the top of your paper.

The following is from the Fall 1999 Schedule of classes under General Information:
 

Academic Integrity
All members of the UCSC academic community have an explicit responsibility to present as their original work only that which is truly their own. Cheating, plagiarism, and other forms of academic dishonesty are contrary to the ideals and purposes of a university and will not be tolerated. Note that plagiarism includes the deliberate misrepresentation of someone else's words and ideas as your own, as well as paraphrasing without footnoting the source. Students and faculty are jointly responsible for assuring that the integrity of scholarship is valued and preserved.

Due Process
Students charged with academic dishonesty have the right to due process through established policies and regulations concerning student conduct and discipline. Copies of these policies and regulations can be found in the Rule Book (www2.ucsc.edu/judicial/) which is available at the offices of each college provost, the dean of graduate studies, and the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs.


The official UCSC policy concerning academic integrity, including disciplinary procedures and student rights and responsibilities can be found at the website: http://oasas.ucsc.edu/avcue/integrity/
