Academic dishonesty is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Cheating, forgery,
plagiarism and collusion in dishonest acts undermine the college's educational
mission and the students' personal and intellectual growth. Baruch students are
expected to bear individual responsibility for their work, to learn the rules and
definitions that underlie the practice of academic integrity, and to uphold its
ideals. Ignorance of the rules is not an acceptable excuse for disobeying them.
Any student who attempts to compromise or devalue the academic process will be
sanctioned.
