KENTUCKY STATE UNIVERSITY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Providing false information to a faculty member or administrator.
Forgery
Forgery is falsely recording the signature of an advisor, instructor, or any University official on any official University academic document.
“FX” Grade
A grade that denotes a failure in a course due to academic dishonesty.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is the intentional or unintentional act of submitting the work of another as one's own. If a student has any uncertainty regarding plagiarism in the submission of any class material, he or she should discuss the matter with the instructor prior to submission of the material. Examples of plagiarism include:
submission of the complete or partial work, or of the words, ideas, or format of another, published or unpublished, without appropriate reference and source credit; and
employing or permitting another person to produce, alter, or revise material that the student submits as his or her own work.
It is important to note that the University has not banned the use of artificial intelligence (AI). However, if an instructor requests that students refrain from using AI on a particular assignment, a violation of that request would constitute academic dishonesty and could result in academic sanctions. For further guidance, see the KYSU Online Policy on the Use of Artificial Intelligence.
