Academic Integrity
Resources for Faculty
Proposed Paragraph for Faculty Syllabi
"By enrolling in this course, each student assumes the responsibilities of an active participant in UMBC's scholarly community in which everyone's academic work and behavior are held to the highest standards of honesty. Cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, and helping others to commit these acts are all forms of academic dishonesty, and they are wrong. Academic misconduct could result in disciplinary action that may include, but is not limited to, suspension or dismissal. To read the full Student Academic Conduct Policy, consult the UMBC Student Handbook (page. 7),the Faculty Handbook (Section 14.3), or for graduate courses, the Graduate School website."
