Academic Dishonesty

Students are expected to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity. Behavior that violates these standards is not acceptable. Examples are the use of unauthorized material, communication with fellow students during an examination, attempting to benefit from the work of another student, and similar behavior that defeats the intent of an examination or other classwork. Cheating on examinations, plagiarism, improper acknowledgment of sources in essays, and the use of a single essay or paper in more than one course without permission are considered very serious offenses and shall be grounds for disciplinary action as outlined by Southeastern Louisiana University's Academic Integrity policy. 

Student Code of Conduct

The Office of Student Advocacy and Accountability (OSAA) is responsible for administering a campus-wide student disciplinary system that is student-centered and based on educational and developmental principles. OSAA strives to uphold community standards while respecting the rights of the individual. Students are expected to familiarize themselves with the Student Code of Conduct and University Policies and to conduct themselves in a manner that supports the educational mission of the University, as well as comply with University rules.
