Academic Integrity Violations
Cheating
Cheating is when somebody uses unauthorized material to get answers. An Example of
cheating, bringing a cell phone to a class and using it to get answers off the internet for a quiz.
When someone cheats, they are in the act of giving up and trying to find a faster way to get
things done quickly but not as accurate as doing it the right way. Cheating can get you into
trouble, either you can get suspended or expelled from school depending on the situation.
Plagiarizing
Plagiarizing is another form of cheating when someone takes information from another
source that was already credited by an author and uses it to make it their own. When someone
does not use citations to give the author credit for what information they used claiming it to be
yours without using original words. For example, John has a paper due the next day and has only
a few paragraphs written down. John finds an article that has all the information he needs to get a
good grade. John turns in his work knowing he used that article without citations. John gets
flagged for plagiarism because he used the exact words the article had previously written by the
author.

Code of Conduct Violations
Behavior
Everyone must show some sort of professionalism while attending class and working on their
academics. Showing hostility in a classroom puts students and teachers at risk of getting behind
their work. Behaving in a hostile manner that puts everyone at risk can end up delaying
classroom time.
Soliciting
Soliciting is the act of requesting money, funds, selling subscriptions, merchandise, or someone
who wants to make a profit for any reason by selling products or services that either represent a
facility or a non-profit organization. GCU is strict about selling anything that represents the
university that was not consensual which leads to penalties or even kicked out of school.

Plagiarism
Plagiarism is the act of stealing an author or somebody's work and making it your own.
Plagiarizing your work just takes out the benefit of being the original writer for the paper. There
is no integrity when you copy someone's work. There are ramifications for plagiarism you can be
kicked out of school, suspended, fired, or in some cases even sued.
Why students plagiarize
Students have a tough time understanding the information they read and get frustrated, so they
take an easy route to finish their assignments by stealing another student's essay. There are
students that want to take the easy route because they think they can get away with it. In my
experience with the last university, before it shut down there were students who forgot to cite
their papers making them fail the class because the instructor said at the beginning of class, that
he would give one warning before putting his foot down.
How to avoid academic dishonesty
Students can avoid academic dishonesty by asking the instructor for guidance on assignments,
quizzes, and other future projects. Avoid cheating while testing and other students who
encourage it. Do not let anyone persuade you into buying assignments or answers to tests. Report

anyone who is violating the code of conduct, rules, and regulations to the proper authority so it
can prevent future incidents.
