To minimize academic misconduct, it is important that every instructor include a clear statement on the course syllabus that provides an operational definition of academic misconduct, and states the grading penalties a student may receive if they are found responsible for academic misconduct.  Do not assume that students will already know about definitions and consequences, even if you are teaching an upper-level course.


Detailed information about academic integrity, misconduct, and processes at the College is available from the Academic Affairs team.
