Academic Integrity Policy

 

 As defined in the ASU Student Academic Integrity Policy, each student has an obligation to act with honesty and integrity, and to respect the rights of others in carrying out all academic assignments. A student may be found to have violated this obligation and to have engaged in academic dishonesty if during or in connection with any academic evaluation, he or she: 

  1. Engages in any form of academic deceit;

Refers to materials or sources or uses devices (e.g., computer disks, audio recorders, camera phones, text messages, crib sheets, calculators, solution manuals, materials from previous classes, or commercial research services) not authorized by the instructor for use during the Academic Evaluation or assignment;
          
  3. Possesses, reviews, buys, sells, obtains, or uses, without appropriate authorization, any materials intended to be used for an Academic Evaluation or assignment in advance of its administration;
     
  4. Acts as a substitute for another person in any Academic Evaluation or assignment;
     
  5. Uses a substitute in any Academic Evaluation or assignment;
     
  6. Depends on the aid of others, including other students or tutors, in connection with any Academic Evaluation or assignment to the extent that the work is not representative of the student's abilities;
     
  7. Provides inappropriate aid to another person in connection with any Academic Evaluation or assignment, including the unauthorized use of camera phones, text messages, photocopies, notes or other means to copy or photograph materials used or intended for Academic Evaluation;
     
  8. Engages in Plagiarism;
     
  9. Uses materials from the Internet or any other source without full and appropriate attribution;
     
  10. Permits his or her work to be submitted by another person in connection with any Academic Evaluation or assignment, without authorization;
     
  11. Claims credit for or submits work done by another;
     
  12. Signs an attendance sheet for another student, allows another student to sign on the student's behalf, or otherwise participates in gaining credit for attendance for oneself or another without actually attending;
     
  13. Falsifying or misrepresenting hours or activities in relationship to an internship, externship, field experience, clinical activity or similar activity; or
     
  14. Attempts to influence or change any Academic Evaluation, assignment or academic record for reasons having no relevance to academic achievement.

The School of Accountancy follows the ASU Academic Integrity Policy (complete policy) in the administration of all course examinations, projects/assignments.

 

As outlined in the policy, any student who is found to have violated the University’s Student Academic Integrity Policy will, as a minimum, receive a grade of zero on the assignment and as a maximum be removed from the class with a grade of XE.

 

As a part of my enrollment in this course I verify that I have read and understand the ASU Academic Integrity Policy. I will act with integrity during all course examinations and in the preparation of my projects/ assignments. I will seek the help of the instructor and/or the teaching assistant (and not the solutions of other students in the course) if I need help.
