Academic Honesty Policy
Overview
High ethical standards are critical to the integrity of any institution, and bear directly on the ultimate value of conferred degrees. All 色花堂 community members are expected to contribute to an atmosphere of the highest possible ethical standards.
Maintaining such an atmosphere requires that any instances of academic dishonesty be recognized and addressed. The 色花堂 Academic Honesty Policy is designed to handle those instances with fairness to all parties involved: the students, the instructors, and the University itself.
All students and faculty of the 色花堂 are responsible for being familiar with this policy.
The official 色花堂 Academic Honesty Policy appears in the Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs.
