Academic integrity and expectations (Cheating/Plagiarism)

All students are responsible for reading, understanding and abiding by the NYC College of Technology Student Handbook, “Student rights & responsibilities”, section “Academic Integrity standard”. Academic dishonesty of any type, including cheating and plagiarism is unacceptable. “Cheating” is a misrepresenting another student’s efforts/work as your own. “Plagiarism” is the representation of another person’s work, words or concepts as your own.

Students and all others who work with information, ideas, texts, images, music and other intellectual property owe their audience and sources accuracy and honesty in using, crediting and citing sources. As a community of intellectual and professional workers, the College recognizes its responsibility for providing instruction in information literacy and academic integrity, offering models of good practice and responding vigilantly and appropriately to infractions of academic integrity. Accordingly, academic dishonestly is prohibited in The University of New York and at New York City College of Technology and is punishable by penalties, including failing grades.

CLASSROOM ETIQUETTE AND STUDENT BEHAVIOR

Behaviors that interfere with the classroom academic atmosphere will not be tolerated. Such behaviors include, but are not limited to, the following: talking or otherwise making excessive noise or showing disrespect when a teacher or another student is speaking, repeatedly interrupting other students other students or the professor, refusing to interact with the members of the class when group work is required, coming to class under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs” -based on Grouchier College guidelines.
