ACADEMIC HONOR CODE
Academic Integrity
The Administration of American University of Health Sciences believes that integrity is an important attribute for the student population. Students are given the freedom to learn, explore and question, but this must truly be an individual experience. All students need to understand the seriousness of cheating, collusion, and plagiarism.
Plagiarism: obtaining, by any means, the work of another student and submitting this work, as own’s work.
Collusion: unauthorized collaboration with another student in preparing work for a class.
Cheating: copying/tracing from another student, using unauthorized materials or devices, and/or collaborating with another student in a testing situation or class project.
Fabrication: providing false information about an AUHS related matter in order to gain some benefit to the student.
Students involved in plagiarism, collusion, and/or cheating may face loss of credit for a project, a failing grade for a class, and/or dismissal from the university.
