Academic Integrity/Honesty
Fontbonne University is committed to graduating students who are prepared to think critically,
to act ethically, and to assume responsibility as citizens and leaders (see Mission Statement).
Fontbonne University expects the highest standards of integrity from its students.
A violation of academic integrity includes, but is not limited to, any act of cheating, plagiarism,
fabrication, and dissimulation and any act of aiding and abetting academic dishonesty. In
cases where academic integrity is in question, the following definitions and policies will apply.
Cheating is a purposeful deception in the preparation and/or submission of papers and assignments
and the taking of exams, tests or quizzes.
Plagiarism is the representation of the words and ideas of another as one’s own in any academic
exercise. Plagiarism includes failing to give a citation for using work from another person or
source. Modifications and rephrasing do not reduce the requirement for giving a citation. This
also applies to information obtained electronically, such as from the Internet.
Fabrication is the deliberate falsification or invention of any information or citation in any
academic exercise, such as making up a source, giving an incorrect citation, misquoting a source.
Dissimulation is the disguising or altering one’s own actions with the intent to deceive another
about the real nature of one’s actions concerning an academic exercise. Examples include
fabricating excuses for such things as missing classes, postponing tests, handing in late papers,
turning in a paper for one class that was originally written for another class (when original
work is requested).
Broader incidences of academic integrity include but are not limited to:
Abuse of resources is the damaging or any resource material or inappropriately limiting
access to resource material that is necessary for academic work. Abuse includes hiding library
materials, removing non-circulating material from the library, hiding or stealing another person’s
textbook, notes or software, failure to return library materials when requested.
