CDS Academic Integrity Statement and Policy
All students, faculty, instructional staff, administrators, and individuals involved in the Center for Data Science must follow the academic integrity policies listed below. Academic integrity is a shared responsibility; therefore, all must make a serious commitment to academic integrity. The consequences of violating academic integrity are serious for those involved and for the Center as a whole. Particularly,
- Faculty must define, communicate, and enforce academic integrity and collaboration policies for their courses.
- Instructional staff must be alert for signs of academic integrity violations and report possible violations to the instructor.
- Students are expected to adhere to all academic integrity policies. This includes communicating with other students in any way and/or use of any materials or technology not explicitly allowed by the instructor.
