Student Rights & Responsibilities
Students are responsible for reading and following all college policies outlined in the current Student Handbook. Some of the most important are summarized below. The Handbook can be accessed at http://www.daytonastate.edu/academics.html under “Student Resources.”
Academic Integrity
In order to preserve academic excellence and integrity, the College expects you to know, understand, and comply with the Academic Integrity Policy, which prohibits academic dishonesty in any form, including, but not limited to, cheating and plagiarism. The grades you earn must be based upon your own work and must accurately reflect your own knowledge and skills.
An instructor who finds that a student has violated Academic Integrity may apply an academic consequence ranging from a zero percent for the assignment, up to and including failure for the entire course. Violations may be reported to the academic department chair for review and/or referred to the student disciplinary process for appropriate disciplinary resolution. For more information about Academic Integrity and the appeal process see: https://www.daytonastate.edu/academicintegrity/
Honor Pledge: I, as a member of the DSC community, pledge that I will neither give nor receive unauthorized aid in my work nor will I present another’s work as my own, nor will I tolerate anyone who does. For more information on academic integrity, view the Honor Code.
Forms of Academic Dishonesty are clearly defined on the Academic Integrity webpage. You may use this link to review and discuss Academic Integrity with your students. It is also recommended that you explain the specific penalties you plan to attach to violations of Academic Integrity in this course.
Self-Plagiarism: If you plan to prohibit self-plagiarism, you must clearly explain this and communicate penalties you will apply to self-plagiarism. If your syllabus never addresses self-plagiarism, it is assumed that you will accept such work with no penalty.
