ACADEMIC DISHONESTY DEFINED<br />

Students are expected to <strong>conduct</strong> themselves in an honorable manner in all of their academic<br />

work. All forms of academic dishonesty are prohibited at <strong>John</strong> <strong>Tyler</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />

expert advice that is contrary to the instructions of the professor are acts of academic<br />

result in more severe disciplinary action should the <strong>student</strong> be found guilty of engaging<br />

in any subsequent act of academic dishonesty.<br />
