Academic Dishonesty

The instructor or person accusing a student of academic dishonesty will report it to the Director of Nursing, who will investigate the matter. If the incident warrants further action, the guidelines in the Moberly Area Community College Student Handbook will be followed.

A student who has committed an act of academic dishonesty has failed to meet a basic requirement of satisfactory academic performance. Thus, academic dishonesty is not only a basis for disciplinary action but is also relevant to the evaluation of the student’s level of performance. Academic standards required that students do not cheat, or knowingly assist another to do so. Other unacceptable behavior includes but is not limited to plagiarism, which is the submission of someone else’s work as your own, and the unauthorized access to or changing of grades or examinations.
