Academic Honesty
The principle of academic honesty requires that all work submitted for evaluation and course credit
be the original, unassisted work of the student. Cheating or plagiarism including borrowing, copying,
purchasing or collaborating on work, except for group projects arranged and approved by the faculty
member, or otherwise submitting work that is not the student’s own violates this principle and will
not be tolerated. Instances of academic dishonesty, including assisting another student to cheat, will
be penalized as detailed in the Student Handbook.
Students who have any questions regarding whether or not specific circumstances involve a breach of
academic honesty are advised to discuss them with the faculty member prior to submitting
the assignment in question.
Discrimination and Harassment
Sheridan is committed to provide a learning environment that respects the dignity, self esteem and
fair treatment of every person engaged in the learning process. Behavior which is inconsistent with
this principle will not be tolerated.
Details of Sheridan’s policy on Harassment and Discrimination are available in the Student Handbook.
