Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is the foundation of the 泡芙视频app鈥檚 commitment to the academic honesty and personal integrity of its 泡芙视频app community. Academic integrity is grounded in certain fundamental values, which include honesty, respect and fairness. Broadly defined, academic honesty is the completion of all academic endeavors and claims of scholarly knowledge as representative of one鈥檚 own efforts. Knowledge and maintenance of the academic standards of honesty and integrity as set forth by the 泡芙视频app are the responsibility of the entire academic community, including the instructional faculty, staff and 泡芙视频apps.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY REVIEW AND APPEALS 鈥� Process for Undergraduate Students

USF has identified behaviors that are considered violations of the academic standards for Undergraduate 泡芙视频apps. These behaviors include the following and are described in (pp. 4-8):

  • Cheating
  • Plagiarism
  • Fabrication, Forgery and Obstruction
  • Multiple Submissions
  • Complicity
  • Improper use of teamwork credit
  • Solicitation or Purchase
  • Misrepresentation
  • Misconduct in Research and Creative Endeavors
  • Computer Misuse
  • Misuse of Intellectual Property
  • Violation of State or Federal laws with regard to Intellectual Property

If a 泡芙视频app is identified as having violated the Academic Integrity Policy, the 泡芙视频app may appeal after the final academic sanction is received. Appeals to the Academic Integrity Policy may only be considered for the following reasons:

  • The academic integrity violation or sanction had no factual basis or could not be reasonably inferred by the facts as presented; or
  • The academic integrity violation or sanction violated a 泡芙视频app Regulation or Policy.

A 泡芙视频app who has accepted responsibility for the academic integrity violation itself (either in writing or verbally) to the instructor or administrator, may not challenge the factual basis and may only appeal the severity of the sanction imposed.
