Academic Dishonesty
Definition: Academic dishonesty includes conduct aimed at making false
representation with respect to a student’s academic performance. Some examples of
academic dishonesty cases are listed below. Actions such as stealing examinations,
course materials or falsifying records will be adjudicated under the regular student
disciplinary procedure.
A. Cheating;
B. Plagiarism;
C. Collaborating with others in work to be presented, if contrary to the stated rules of
the course;
D. Knowingly and intentionally assisting another student in any of the above actions,
including assistance in an arrangement whereby any work, classroom performance,
examination or other activity is submitted or performed by a person other than the
student under whose name the work is submitted or performed.
Eastern Florida State College subscribes to a web-based plagiarism detection
service called Turnitin.com. This service accepts electronically-submitted student
papers and cross checks them against billions of online documents for contextual
matches. Instructors may use this service to detect whether a student has
plagiarized on an assignment.
Academic Dishonesty Procedures
1. Violations of the academic dishonesty policy are brought to the attention of the
student by the instructor.
2. If there is suspicion of wrongdoing without corroborating evidence, the matter will
be discussed with the student and if warranted, a verbal warning will be issued.
3. If there is clear evidence that a violation has taken place, a sanction may be
imposed by the instructor ranging from a written warning to expulsion from the
course with a failing grade.
4. Final Appeal: The student may appeal the case to the instructor’s supervisor. If the
matter cannot be resolved at that level, the student may request a hearing before
the Collegewide Student Appeals Committee. No record will be made of the closed
deliberations of the committee. The names of the committee members will not be
disclosed until after the hearing is held. The committee’s recommendation is sent
to the President. The President’s decision is final. The student may be permitted
to remain enrolled in the course during the appeal process.
