ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:    

            The very nature of higher education requires that students adhere to accepted standards of academic  

            integrity. Therefore, Pueblo Community College has adopted a policy of academic conduct as

            described in the Student Handbook. Violation of academic integrity may be defined to include the

            following: cheating, plagiarism, falsification and fabrication, abuse of academic materials, complicity in

            academic dishonesty, and personal misrepresentation. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of

            the behaviors that constitute academic dishonesty. Sanctions for violating the standards of academic

            integrity may include warning, probation, suspension, and/or failure of the course or assignment at the

            discretion of the instructor.
