Academic Dishonesty
Academic dishonesty (cheating) is dened as the deception of others about ones own work or about the
work of another. Academic dishonesty or misconduct is not condoned or tolerated at campuses within the
Tulsa Community College system. Tulsa Community College adopts a policy delegating certain forms of au-
thority for disciplinary action to the faculty. Such disciplinary actions delegated to the faculty include, but are
not limited to, the dismissal of disrespectful or disorderly students from classes. In the case of academic dis-
honesty a faculty member may:

require the student to redo an assignment or test, or require the student to complete a substitute
assignment or test;

Record a "zero" for the assignment or test in question;

Recommend to the student that the student withdraw from the class, or administratively withdraw
the student from the class;

Record a grade of "F" for the student at the end of the semester.

Faculty may request that disciplinary action be taken against a student at the administrative level by submit-
ting such request to the Dean of Student Services.
