In concert with the University's Academic Honesty Policy, students shall complete all assignments independent from external assistance in any form unless approved by the faculty (i.e., group activity/report). The student shall refrain from any form of academic and professional dishonesty or deception in the classroom, practicum, or other learning settings. These behaviors include cheating, plagiarism, illegal possession of examinations, violation of client confidentiality, falsification of data, falsification of records, and/or aiding and abetting dishonesty. Students who cheat on examinations and/or assignments are subject to disciplinary action that may range from a grade assignment of "F" for the examination or the assignment up to and including dismissal from the nursing program. As future healthcare professionals, students shall report cases of suspected dishonesty to the faculty at the time of occurrence. Information concerning the SON Integrity policy is available in Appendix A of this Handbook.
