Academic Integrity: All members of the University community share responsibility for maintaining and promoting the principles of truth and academic honesty. The Office of Student Conduct has a policy defining academic dishonesty and the procedures to follow if dishonesty occurs.  This information can be found at www.conduct.wsu.edu.

Cheating or plagiarism in any form will not be tolerated. Cheating includes, but is not limited to, copying work or allowing your work to be copied.  Plagiarism includes copying homework solutions, or resubmitting graded assignments or lab reports from a previous semester, even if they were your own work.  All incidences of cheating will be reported to the Office of Student Affairs. If academic dishonesty has occurred on any homework, test or other assignment, the incident will be reported to the Office of Student Conduct and the student(s) involved will receive no credit (a score of zero) for that particular material. A second incident of cheating will result in possible dismissal from the University.

 

Safety on Campus: The University is committed to the safety of students, faculty, staff, and visitors. The Campus Safety Plan can be found at http://safetyplan.wsu.edu contains information related to campus safety, emergency management, and the health and welfare of the campus community. The university emergency management web site is http://oem.wsu.edu/emergencies.  Students are encouraged to visit both these sites.

College Success Workshops: Workshops on test preparation, time management, note taking and comprehension and reading strategies are available online at http://students.careers.wsu.edu/default.asp?PageID=3037.
