Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Department of Couple and Family Therapy 2024–2025 272 Students shall be afforded the opportunity for an internal and private (no nonuniversity participants) meeting with the SPAC in matters relevant to academic dishonesty. Such matters will be brought to the attention of the program director who will inform the department chair and, in turn, will refer them to the SPAC. The university is an academic community and expects its students to manifest a commitment to academic integrity through rigid observance of standards for academic honesty. The university can function properly only when its members adhere to clearly established goals and values. Accordingly, the academic standards are designed to ensure that the principles of academic honesty are upheld. The following acts violate the academic honesty standards: Cheating—intentionally using or attempting to use unauthorized materials, information, or study aids in any academic exercise Fabrication—intentional and unauthorized falsification or invention of any information or citation in an academic exercise Facilitating Academic Dishonesty—intentionally or knowingly helping or attempting to help another to violate any provision of this code Plagiarism—the adoption or reproduction of ideas, words, or statements of another person as one’s own without proper acknowledgment Students are expected to submit tests and assignments that they have completed without aid or assistance from other sources. Using sources to provide information, without giving credit to the original source, is dishonest. Students should avoid any impropriety, or the appearance thereof, in taking examinations or completing work in pursuance of their educational goals. Students are expected to comply with the following academic standards: Original Work—Assignments such as course preparations, exams, texts, projects, term papers, practicum, or any other work submitted for academic credit must be the original work of the student. Original work may include the thoughts and words of another author. Entire thoughts or words of another author should be identified using quotation marks. At all times, students are expected to comply with the university and/or program center’s recognized form and style manual and accepted citation practice and policy. Work is not original when it has been submitted previously by the author or by anyone else for academic credit. Work is not original when it has been copied or partially copied from any other source, including another student, unless such copying is acknowledged by the person submitting the work for the credit at the time the work is being submitted, or unless copying, sharing, or joint authorship is an express part of the assignment. Exams and tests are original work when no unauthorized aid is given, received, or used before or during the course of the examination, reexamination, and/or remediation. Referencing the Works of Another Author—All academic work submitted for credit or as partial fulfillment of course requirements must adhere to each program center’s specific accepted reference manuals and rules of documentation. Standards of scholarship require that the writer give proper acknowledgment when the thoughts and words of another author are used. Students must acquire a style manual approved by their center and become familiar with accepted scholarly and editorial practice in their program. Students’ work must comport with the adopted citation manual for their particular center. At NSU, it is plagiarism to represent another person’s work, words, or ideas as one’s
