Academic Honor and Student Integrity

As members of the SCC College community, a student has the responsibility to study and learn, and to conduct themselves with integrity and honesty in relation to the College’s mission, goals, and policies and procedures. Each student registered for courses at SCC has the responsibility of attending all class sessions at the scheduled time and place on the course syllabus and semester class schedule.

The SCC administration, faculty, and staff expect students to be honest and to complete their studies to the best of their ability. By signing the SCC registration form, students promise to stand for the principle of Academic Honor.

1. Students are expected to complete their own Work – Students will not copy the work of another student or have other students, family members, or friends do their course assignments.
2. Students will refuse to do other student’s assignments.
3. Students will not plagiarize. Always give credit to the words and ideas of others while putting quotation marks around sentences they copy. Students will write paraphrases and summaries in their own words. Students will always cite sources i.e. MLA or APA style. Lastly, Students will end their assignment with a list of books and references.

Any student who violates academic honor may fail the assignment, fail the course, or face expulsion from the College
