Policy on Academic Honesty
The College of Engineering has set a high standard of academic excellence for the students we serve. Our goal is to prepare students as highly skilled and talented engineers by providing a quality education that includes lectures, laboratory experience, and exams. All students at RIT are expected to behave is a manner consistent with the RIT academic honesty policy:
Rochester Institute of Technology does not condone any form of academic dishonesty. Any act of improperly representing another person's work as one's own is construed as an act of academic dishonesty. These acts include, but are not limited to:
- Plagiarism in any form (including the use of all or parts of computer programs created by others without clearly indicating that you are not the author; directly copying text from any source without placing in quotations and providing the reference; and any attempt to present another person's work as your own).
- The use of information and materials not authorized by the instructor during an examination.
If a faculty member judges a student to be guilty of some form of academic dishonesty, the student may be given a failing grade for that piece of work, or for the entire course, depending upon the severity of the misconduct. If the student believes that the action taken by the instructor is incorrect, or that the penalty is too severe, the student may appeal to the Academic Conduct Committee of the college in which the course is offered.
Academic Accomodations Policy
Students requesting academic accomodations may choose to present documentation regarding their accomodation to their course instructor or faculty guide. NTID supported students should schedule interpreting services through their regular channels, to request support for team meetings and activities, etc.
