Academic dishonesty refers to cheating, copying, plagiarizing,
or representing the work of others
as your own through verbal, written, graphic, electronic or other
means. Forms of academic
dishonesty and plagiarism include, but are not limited to, the
following:
- Looking at other students’ answers, using inappropriate materials
during a test, quiz, or other
individual evaluation, or providing other students the means to
copy answers
- Copying the work of another student and representing it as your own
- Downloading material from an on-line source and representing it as
your own without citing
sources or crediting the author
- Copying in any form another person’s computer program, program
translation, or software file
and representing it as your own
- Submitting, and claiming as your own, work received through purchase
or transfer
- Copying text in any form from a source, without proper citation, and
submitting it as your own
- Altering by any means, or attempting to alter, course grades, test
grades, grade point
averages, credits earned, or other confidential information about
yourself or others
- Acquiring and/or distributing tests, answers to tests, answer keys,
class projects, research
papers, reports, or school-owned materials through verbal, written,
graphic, or other means for
the purpose of giving unfair advantage to yourself or others
A student guilty of academic dishonesty will receive no credit (0%)
for his/her assignment
or test and will not be allowed to make up the work. Depending
on the severity and the
number of offenses, the impact on other students and teachers,
and/or the curriculum, a student
may also lose course credit, be withdrawn from the course without
credit, and/or be suspended. In
addition to the academic consequence(s), a student may also be
removed from positions of trust
and responsibility within the school (i.e., class office, club
office, NHS, etc.), for such actions are
contrary to personal integrity and the values of LFHS.
All cases of academic dishonesty shall be reported to the Superintendent,
Principal, the
Instructional Director, and to the parent.
