Your pledge to uphold these principles guarantees that work done and progress made at 91视频 are legitimate within the broader academic community, as well as in the world beyond.

It also includes bringing unauthorized notes or electronic exchanges to examinations and copying from other students鈥 work.
Plagiarism:听the presentation of someone else's work as one's own. This includes the use of any ideas, words or data, in written, oral or electronic form, without properly attributing their source(s).

Fabrication:听the use of invented information, or the falsification of research or of other findings.
Obtaining unfair or illegal advantage:听gaining unauthorized access to examination materials;听participating in unauthorized collaboration;听tampering with common resources, databases or university records; and using unauthorized aids, including electronic devices.
Multiple submissions of student work:听submitting, without express permission, any coursework more than once or to fulfill requirements for more than one course.
Facilitating academic dishonesty:听participation in the violation of any provision of the Code of Academic Integrity.
If you have questions about any aspect of the Code of Academic Integrity, ask a faculty member, a librarian or a staff member of the Academic Resource Center for guidance.
