Honesty and integrity are as highly valued at StraighterLine as they are at all of StraighterLine’s partner colleges. Academic integrity violations include all forms of academic dishonesty, including, but not limited to:
- Cheating - Giving or receiving unauthorized assistance, attempting to give or receive such assistance, or using unauthorized materials in connection with the performance of any academic work. This includes providing your login to another individual to access content and complete work on your behalf.
- Plagiarism - Use of another person’s work or ideas without proper acknowledgment of the source.
- Fabrication - Falsification or invention of any information, citation, data, images, or documentation.
- Collusion - Helping or allowing another student to commit any act of academic dishonesty.
Plagiarism, cheating, or other types of academic integrity and policy violations may constitute immediate failure of the assignment in question. Deliberate or sustained violations will result in automatic failure of the course and could result in a student being removed from all current enrollments and services without refund. StraighterLine reserves the right to audit any and all student work for potential cheating, as well as require additional proctoring/ monitoring of students whose accounts have been flagged for suspicious behavior.
