A student enrolling in any UMKC course is expected to exhibit high standards of academic honesty in all works, and are expected to refrain from cheating and plagiarism. Rules governing any suspected violation are clearly spelled out elsewhere in the UMKC catalog (www.umkc.edu/umkc/catalog/html/append/policy/0040.html.) Instructors are obligated to report any cases of alleged academic dishonesty, and any violation will result in sanctions being imposed on the student, ranging from a warning, probation, loss of financial aid, loss of privileges, suspension, and dismissal. Please note that both receiving and giving unauthorized assistance is considered academically dishonest.
