Academic dishonesty is defined as any form of cheating or dishonesty that has the effect or intent of interfering with any academic exercise or fair evaluation of a student’s performance.

The Panther Code of Honor prohibits Cheating, Plagiarism, Conspiracy, Collusion, and Other forms of Academic Dishonesty, to include, but not limited to:

Cheating: Deception in which a student misrepresents that he/she has mastered information on an academic exercise that he/she has not learned, giving or receiving aid unauthorized by the instructor on assignments or examinations. Examples: unauthorized use of notes for a test; using a “cheat sheet” on a quiz or exam; any alteration made on a graded test or exam which is then resubmitted to the teacher.
Plagiarism: Careless or deliberate use of the work or the ideas of another; representation of another’s work, words, ideas, or data as your own without permission or appropriate acknowledgment. Examples: copying another’s paper or answers, failure to identify information or essays from the Internet and submitting or representing it as your own; submitting an assignment which has been partially or wholly done by another and claiming it as yours; not properly acknowledging a source which has been summarized or paraphrased in your work; failure to acknowledge the use of another’s words with quotation marks.
Conspiracy: Agreeing with one or more persons to commit an act of academic/scholastic dishonesty.
Collusion: When more than one student or person contributes to a piece of work that is submitted as the work of an individual.
Multiple Submission: Submission of work from one course to satisfy a requirement in another course without explicit permission. Example: using a paper prepared and graded for credit in one course to fulfill a requirement and receive credit in a different course.
Fabrication of Information/Forgery: Use or submission of contrived, invented, forged, or altered information in any assignment, laboratory exercise, or test; tampering with or production of a counterfeit document, particularly documents that make up the student’s academic record. Examples: making up a source or citing nonexistent publication or article; representing made-up data as real for an experiment in a science laboratory class; forging a change of grade or student withdrawal record; falsifying any document related to a student academic exercise.

The Difference between Copyright Infringement and Plagiarism—and Why It Matters | Peer to Peer Review
HELP FROM THE LIBRARY

As librarians, what can we do to help our patrons understand and avoid plagiarism and copyright infringement, and understand both the connections and the very important differences between them? I would recommend at least three basic strategies:
Never deliver a copyright instruction session without talking about plagiarism, and never deliver a plagiarism instruction session without taking about copyright. Help the class understand both how they are related and how they differ.
Incorporate brief discussions of plagiarism into libguides and other library instructional materials that deal with copyright—and vice versa.
Students, in particular, need to understand how fair use works and what its parameters are—and they need to understand that making fair use of others’ copyrighted work in their papers and projects doesn’t absolve them of the responsibility to give the original authors appropriate attribution. We can remind them of this both in classroom settings and one-on-one research help sessions.

Students Cheating with Cell Phones Statistics [Infographic]
Statistics on how common it is for students to use cell phones and smartphones to cheat on tests and exams in school. The tendency for students to cheat on tests and exams has existed since the beginning of education. Cell phones and smartphones however, have only been around for a short period of time and have definitely increase the temptation for high school and college students to use modern technology to cheat in school.
Students Cheating in Online Classes Statistics [Infographic]
Are students more likely to cheat in a class or course taken online than in a classroom? Are college students more likely to cheat in an online class than in a traditional classroom setting?
As technology continues to play a larger and larger role in education in the 21st century, the question regarding college students’ online cheating habits is raised time and time again.
One would think that students taking online courses would be more likely to cheat because they’re not being monitored as closely as students in a live classroom.
