Academic dishonesty is defined as deceitful and/or deceptive attempts to fulfill academic requirements.  It can include:

• Plagiarism:  The adoption or reproduction of original creations of another author (person, collective, organization, community or other type of author, including anonymous authors) without due acknowledgement.

• Fabrication:  The falsification of data, information or citations in any formal academic exercise.

• Deception:  Providing false information to an instructor concerning a formal academic exercise – e.g. giving false excuse for missing a deadline or falsely claiming to have submitted work.

• Cheating:  Any attempt to give or obtain assistance in a formal academic exercise (like an examination) without due acknowledgement.

• Bribery:  or paid services.  Giving assignment answers or test answers for money.

• Sabotage:  Acting to prevent others from completing their work.  This includes cutting pages out of library books or willfully disrupting the experiments of others.

• Impersonation:  assuming a student’s identity with intent to provide an advantage for the student.

If a student has been academically dishonest in any one subject, the consequence is that the student may be exempt from academic, athletic and citizenship awards at the school and board level for the current school year.  In determining consequences, considerations will include intent, frequency, severity, and restitution.  Unless considered very minor, the Superintendent will be consulted in all cases of academic dishonesty.
