Academic Integrity is directly linked to the Core Values of Illinois Valley Community College, three of which are RESPONSIBILITY, RESPECT, and HONESTY. It is the RESPONSIBILITY of each student to RESPECT the academic integrity of each class/course by doing their own work and by refusing to assist others in deception.
Academic dishonesty is defined as, but is not limited to:
- Cheating—using or attempting to use unauthorized materials, study aids, or information in any academic exercise,
including copying from another person's work or preparing work for another person that is to be presented as the other
person's own work. This includes utilizing phones or cameras to copy test or assignment materials.
- Fabrication—furnishing false information to a College official relative to academic matters, including but not limited
to, misrepresentation of written information provided in admission documents.
- Plagiarism—using the words or ideas of another as one's own either on purpose or unintentionally. This
includes, but is not limited to, copying whole, portions or information from any source in any academic exercise (written or oral) without giving credit to the author or source using an appropriate citation style. Students must be able to prove that their work is their own.
- Facilitating Academic Dishonesty—helping or attempting to help another to violate any provision of this code
