Academic Integrity in a Digital Age

Facilitation of dishonesty is knowingly or negligently allowing one’s work to be used by another without prior approval of the instructor or otherwise aiding others in committing violations of academic integrity. A student who intentionally facilitates a violation of academic integrity can be considered to be as culpable as the student who receives the impermissible assistance, even if the facilitator does not benefit personally from the violation. Some examples are:

• Collaborating before a quiz or examination to develop methods of exchanging information.
• Knowingly allowing others to copy answers to work on a quiz or examination or assisting others to do so.
• Distributing an examination from an unauthorized source prior to the examination.
• Distributing or selling a term paper to other students.
• Taking an examination for another student.
