standards, critical to building character. Ensuing your integrity is vital and your responsibility.

plagiarism) to the college review process, which could result in severe consequences, including
potential dismissal from the college. You are encouraged to work and study with other students
in class and to learn from one another. However, turning in the work of another or providing
your work to someone else will be considered academically dishonest. For further information
