Academic Integrity at Cal Poly Pomona
Cal Poly Pomona, like all academic communities, stresses honesty and integrity in all academic endeavors.  Academic dishonesty is a serious offense that can diminish the quality of scholarship, the academic environment, the academic reputation, and the quality of a Cal Poly Pomona degree.  Academic dishonesty is any act which gains or is intended to gain an unfair academic advantage for a student or which circumvents an instructor's course standards.

This may include, but is not limited to, plagiarism (using someone else's work in any academic assignment without citing the sources and indicating quoted material), cheating (such as using unauthorized "crib sheets," permitting another to copy work, or submitting work not completed by the student), or falsifying any university document (including forging signatures on university forms or misrepresenting prerequisite requirements).

More information can be found in the University Catalog or at http://dsa.csupomona.edu/judicialaffairs.  All students are expected to make themselves aware of and abide by these standards.
