Schoolcraft College takes matters of academic integrity and dishonesty seriously. Therefore, it’s important for you to learn about plagiarism, cheating, and other forms of academic dishonesty to ensure you avoid them as you progess through your studies here.

Plagiarism includes the use, by paraphrase or direct quotation, of the published or unpublished work of another person without full and clear acknowledgement. It also includes the unacknowledged use of materials prepared by another person or agency engaged in the selling of term papers or other academic materials.

Cheating occurs when students receive unauthorized assistance on quizzes, tests, or exams; use unauthorized sources to write papers, reports, or otherwise complete assignments; acquire the academic materials of others, including faculty, without permission; copy someone else's work; submit someone else's work as their own or submit their work for others; or alter graded assignments.

Schoolcraft's Student Code of Conduct outlines these guidelines and other expectations of a Schoolcraft College student.
