The MMS Program holds its students to the highest standards of intellectual integrity. Therefore, any attempt by a student to pass any examination by improper means, present work that the student has not performed, aid and abet another student in any dishonest academic act, or fail to report direct knowledge of such, will subject the offending student to a meeting before the appropriate body, (e.g., Program Leadership, Professionalism Committee, Student Performance Committee) for appropriate disciplinary action.
All students are expected to commit to academic integrity by observing the standards for academic honesty. The following are examples of breaches of academic standards, but by no means an exhaustive list:
- Academic Dishonesty: intentionally using or attempting to use unauthorized materials, information, or study aids in any academic exercise; copying and/or distributing protected assessment material, including but not limited to written exam questions, quiz questions, and standardized patient case information, through verbal or written form, audio recording, or video recording.
- Plagiarism: intentional and unauthorized falsification or invention of any information or citation in an academic exercise.
