Academic Integrity
At GLCC Academic Honesty is an important asset for both an institution of higher learning and an individual learner. A student must always submit work that represents his or her original words or ideas. If any words or ideas are used that do not represent the student's original words or ideas, the student must cite all relevant sources. The student should also make clear the extent to which such sources were used. Words or ideas that require citations include, but are not limited to, all hardcopy or electronic publications, whether copyrighted or not, and all verbal or visual communication when the content of such communication clearly originates from an identifiable source. Academic dishonesty could involve:
• Having a tutor or friend complete a portion of your assignments.
• Having a reviewer make extensive revisions to an assignment.
• Copying work submitted by another student to a public class meeting.
• Using information from Online information services without proper citation.
• Utilizing notes or searching the web for answers during a closed-book quiz or test.
Academic dishonesty has grave repercussions for the learner. Within the institution, the learner will receive a failure of the assignment and potentially the course and a report to the administration. A second instance of academic dishonesty will result in failure of the course, reporting of the incident to the administration, and removal of the learner from the program.
