Academic Honesty Absolute truth is an essential belief and basis of behavior for those who believe in a God who cannot lie and forbids falsehood. Academic honesty is the application of the principle of truth in the classroom setting. Academic honesty includes the basic premise that all work submitted by students must be their own and any ideas derived or copied from elsewhere must be carefully documented. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to: cheating of any kind, submitting, without proper approval, work originally prepared by the student for another course, plagiarism, which is the submitting of work prepared by someone else as if it were his own, and failing to credit sources properly in written work. Institutional Policy All official college communications to students enrolled in this course will be sent exclusively to students institutional accounts. Students are expected to check their student accounts regularly and to respond in an appropriate and timely manner to all communications from faculty and administrative departments. Students are permitted to setup automatic forwarding of s from their student accounts to one or more personal accounts. The student is responsible to setup and maintain forwarding without assistance from college staff. If a student chooses to use this forwarding option, he/she will continue to be responsible for responding appropriately to all communications from faculty and administrative departments of the college.
