The practice of academic integrity to ensure the uality of education is the
responsibility of each member of the educational community at "9usa #acific
University. It is the policy of the university that academic work should represent the
independent thought and activity of the individual student, and work that is
borrowed from another source without attribution or used in an unauthori9ed way
in an academic e&ercise is considered to be academic dishonesty that defrauds the
work of others and the educational system. Engaging in academic dishonesty in
serious offense for which a student may be disciplined or dismissed from a
program. The full academic integrity policy is available in the graduate catalog.
