Scholastic Dishonesty

Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating on a test, plagiarism, and collusion. Cases of dishonesty may be handled as a scholastic matter or as a student conduct code matter at the discretion of the instructor. Instructors choosing to treat the case as a scholastic matter have the authority to decide how the incident will affect the student's course grade. Instructors choosing to treat the case as a disciplinary matter will refer the case to UMC's Student Conduct Code coordinator. A more complete policy statement on scholastic dishonesty is included at the UMC Policies Website.
