Academic Dishonesty
Guidelines: (from Academic Affairs website, revised May 2003)
Students
at the University of Missouri-St. Louis are expected to exhibit the highest
standards of academic integrity. An act of academic dishonesty is an offense
against the university. For that reason, university rules prescribe
disciplinary as well as academic consequences for academic dishonesty.
The
bulletin and student planner provide guidelines for appropriate academic
conduct. The following procedures guide the campus in upholding the University
of Missouri Collected Rules for Student Academic Conduct. Academic Dishonesty
is defined by Collected Rule 200.010 STANDARD OF CONDUCT (http://www.system.missouri.edu/uminfo/rules/programs/200010.htm).
Academic
dishonesty, such as cheating, plagiarism, or sabotage.
The
Board of Curators recognizes that academic honesty is essential for the
intellectual life of the University. Faculty members have a special obligation
to expect high standards of academic honesty in all student work. Students have
a special obligation to adhere to such standards. In all cases of academic
dishonesty, the instructor shall make an academic judgment about the student's
grade on that work and in that course. The instructor shall report the alleged
academic dishonesty to the Primary Administrative Officer.
