ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

AUHS is a community of scholars. All members, including faculty, staff and students are responsible for maintaining standards of academic honesty. Cheating, plagiarism, collaborative work, multiple submissions without permission of the professor or other kinds of academic dishonesty are considered unacceptable behavior and will result in formal disciplinary proceedings resulting in loss of credit for a project, a failing grade for a class, and/or dismissal from the university. Every student is responsible for following the University’s Academic Honor Code. The policy may be found in the University Catalog.
