ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

Introduction

The College of Education Academic Integrity Committee operates in the context of University Faculty Senate legislation on academic integrity approved on February 29, 2000, which recognizes the intrinsic nature of academic integrity as a linchpin of the Penn State community.  The shared conviction represented in the procedures that follow is that academic integrity is best taught and reinforced by faculty as an element of the teaching and learning process.  Only in limited instances in which faculty believe that disciplinary and/or academic sanctions are called for should the process move from the realm of faculty and students to the University’s Office of Judicial Affairs.

The Associate Dean, Undergraduate and Summer Programs, maintains and makes available to students and faculty the academic integrity procedures adopted by the College's Academic Integrity Committee.  In this document, the Committee presents guidelines for academic and/or disciplinary procedures.
