Academic Code of Conduct 

Academic Integrity:

Any form of cheating, plagiarism, personification, falsification of a document as well as any other form of dishonest behavior related to obtaining academic gain or the avoidance of evaluative exercises committed by a student is an academic offence under the Academic Code of Conduct and may lead to severe penalties as decided by the Disciplinary Committee of the university.

Special Instructions:

• For plagiarism, the grade will automatically become zero for that exam/assignment.
• Normally there will be NO make-up exam. However, in case of severe illness, death of any family member, any family emergency, or any humanitarian ground, if a student miss any exam, the student MUST get approval of makeup exam by written application to the Chairperson through the Course Instructor within 48 hours of the exam time. Proper supporting documents in favor of the reason of missing the exam have to be presented with the application.

• For final exam, there will be NO makeup exam. However, in case of severe illness, death of any family member, any family emergency, or any humanitarian ground, if a student misses the final exam, the student MUST get approval of Incomplete Grade by written application to the Chairperson through the Course Instructor within 48 hours of the final exam time. Proper supporting documents in favor of the reason of missing the final exam have to be presented with the application. It is the responsibility of the student to arrange an Incomplete Exam within the deadline mentioned in the Academic Calendar in consultation with the Course Instructor.

• There is zero tolerance for cheating in exam. Students caught with cheat sheets in their possession, whether used or not; writing on the palm of hand, back of calculators, chairs or nearby walls; copying from cheat sheets or other cheat sources; copying from other examinee, etc. would be treated as cheating in the exam hall. The only penalty for cheating is expulsion for several semesters as decided by the Disciplinary Committee of the university.
