Course Grading Scheme:
UTEP Policy on
Academic Integrity:
Academic Honesty. Academic integrity
is at the core of the educational mission of the institution. Students are
expected to conduct themselves with honesty and forthrightness in all academic
and personal interactions within the University community. A student who
enrolls at the University must conduct himself/herself in a manner compatible
with the University’s function as an educational institution. Consequently,
conduct that offends the core mission of education is strictly prohibited.
Academic dishonesty is a general term for actions that are not representative
of the student’s own work or in keeping with the directives of the faculty
member assigning the course work. Some of the more common forms (not a
comprehensive list) of academic dishonesty are: cheating, plagiarism, collusion,
the substitution for credit of any work or materials that are attributable in
whole or in part to another person, taking an examination for another person,
any act designed to give unfair advantage to a student or the attempt to commit
such acts.
Violations of University Policy:
Official university policy states that all suspected cases of alleged
academic dishonesty must be referred to the Dean of Students for investigation
and appropriate disposition. Under the University of Texas System
Reagents’ Rules, the Dean of Students has primary
authority and responsibility for the administration of student discipline,
including academic dishonesty. It is contrary to university policy for a
faculty member to assign a disciplinary grade such as "F" or zero to
an assignment, test, examination, or other course work as a sanction for
admitted or suspected scholastic dishonesty in lieu of formally charging the
student through the Dean of Students. Similarly, students are prohibited from
proposing and/or entering into an arrangement with a faculty member to receive
a grade of "F" or any other reduced grade in lieu of being charged
with academic dishonesty. Disciplinary sanctions for proven academic dishonesty
will range from disciplinary probation, to a failing grade on the test, paper,
or course, to suspension or dismissal from the University, among other
sanctions. All research papers, term papers, or other writing intensive
assignments in this course must adhere to APA
style. Students are expected to submit all papers with the appropriate
citations, references, etc. If you are unsure of the parameters of this writing
style, please contact the course instructor for further information. Style
guides are available in the University Bookstore. Unless otherwise instructed,
all assignments are to be done individually
Scholastic Dishonesty: The
University of Texas at El Paso
prides itself on its standards of academic excellence. In all matters of
intellectual pursuit, UTEP faculty and students must strive to achieve based on
the quality of the work produced by the individual. In the classroom and in all
other academic activities, students are expected to uphold the highest
standards of academic integrity. Any form of scholastic dishonesty is an
affront to the pursuit of knowledge and jeopardizes the quality of the degree
awarded to all graduates of UTEP. Any student who commits an act of scholastic
dishonesty is subject to discipline. Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not
limited to cheating, plagiarism, collusion, the submission
for credit of any work or materials that are attributable in whole or in part
to another person, talking an examination for another person, any act designed
to give unfair advantage to a student or the attempt to commit such acts.
Proven violations of the detailed regulations, as printed in the Handbook of
Operating Procedures (HOP) and available in the Office of the Dean of Students,
may result in sanctions ranging from disciplinary probation, to failing grades
on the work in question, to failing grades in the course, to suspension or
dismissal, among others.
