Academic Integrity Policy
As a member of the School of Education and of the Syracuse University community, you are expected to show exceptional integrity in your academic work and to adhere to University-wide academic integrity standards and policies. The University's Academic Integrity Office (AIO) oversees academic integrity policy and mandates procedures and sanctions when violations have occurred. Actions constituting violations arise in situations involving the use of sources (plagiarism), course work and research, communications with instructors, and representation and materials misuse. Examples of violations include giving or receiving aid in an exam or where otherwise prohibited, fraud, plagiarism, the falsification or forgery or any record, dishonesty in requests for make-up exams and deadlines for papers, or any other deceptive act in connection with academic work. As a student here, you must begin to take responsibility for understanding the nature of academic integrity. You can begin by referring to http://supolicies.syr.edu/studs/acad_integrity.htm for links to the policies. And, as always, be conscientious about your work. Take credit for work that you have done, allow others to take credit for their work, do not take ideas and work without giving credit, and do not cheat. In any situation where someone else is trying to compromise your integrity, use your own judgment and conscience.
