Academic
Integrity
Policy
Marymount University takes academic integrity seriously
and all students should be aware that there is a process
by which accusations are adjudicated. All members of the
university community are responsible for being familiar
with the complete Academic Integrity Policy. Students can
obtain the complete policy from the Office of Student
Conduct and Academic Integrity, or online at
www.marymount.edu/policies.
Summary of Marymount’s
Academic Integrity Policy
Academic integrity requires that all members of the
Marymount community pursue learning with honesty,
trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility. These five
qualities are the basis of the Academic Integrity Policy,
governing all academic experiences involving Marymount
University students on campus or at host institutions
and sites. Members of the Marymount community
are expected to foster in their own work the spirit of
academic integrity and not to tolerate its abuse by others.
Violations of academic integrity include
• cheating (using or attempting to use unauthorized
materials, information, or study aids in any
academic exercise)
• plagiarism (representing the words or ideas of
another as one’s own in any academic exercise)
• falsification (falsification or invention of any
information or citation in academic exercises)
• facilitating academic dishonesty (helping or
attempting to help another student to commit an act
of academic dishonesty).
Those found guilty of violating the Academic Integrity
Policy receive a penalty. Depending upon the seriousness
of the offense, the penalty for a first offense ranges
from failure for the assignment to expulsion from the
university. The mandated penalties for a second offense
include suspension or expulsion.
