ACADEMIC, COMPUTING, & DISABILITY POLICIES
Academic Integrity
An integral part of the mission of Walla Walla University is to prepare its students to be responsible individuals with Christian values. The College expects all members of its community to have integrity, including a steadfast adherence to honesty. Faculty have a responsibility to foster integrity by example and instruction. Students have a responsibility to learn, respect, and practice integrity.
All acts of dishonesty are unacceptable, including cheating, plagiarism, forgery, misrepresentation, falsification, prohibited collaboration, and prohibited use of files. Departments or schools may have specific criteria for behavior and skills suitable to their disciplines which will be communicated to students, typically in course syllabi.
Computer Science Department Addendum All submitted work should be the student's own work. Where there is a deviation from this ideal, the source of ideas and assistance must be properly credited including fellow students, teachers, and reference material. Academic dishonesty may result in course failure and notice will be given to the Academic Administration of the college.
