A student who witnesses academic misconduct or who is approached with an offer to gain unfair advantage or commit academic misconduct is obligated to report that violation to the appropriate authority. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action. Faculty and staff are likewise responsible to report academic misconduct.
“Academic misconduct” involves any activity that tends to compromise the academic integrity of the University, or subvert the educational process, including, but not limited to:
- Cheating
- Plagiarism
- Falsifying academic records
- Misrepresenting facts
- Any other misconduct identified in School academic policies
For detailed definitions and procedures on reporting any of the above violations, please refer to the Institutional Student Handbook, part II, section D: https://elpaso.ttuhsc.edu/studentservices/institutional-handbooks.aspx
