Policy and General Statement

Since the value of an academic degree depends on the absolute integrity of the work done by the student for that degree, it is imperative that a student maintains a high standard of individual honor in his or her scholastic work. All references herein to “University Policy” refer to The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Handbook of Operating Procedures (“HOOP”), and specifically Policy 186. The HOOP may be accessed via the Internet. In the case of any perceived conflict between the HOOP and this policy, the HOOP will prevail.

Policy

Any student who commits and act of academic dishonesty is subject to discipline. Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, collusion in cheating or plagiarism, the submission of any work or materials for credit that are attributable in whole or in part to another person, taking an examination for another person, any act(s) designed to give unfair advantage to a student, or the attempt to commit such act(s).
