As a member of the university community, you will be expected to conduct yourself according to the principles of academic integrity. Integrity in this context includes a commitment to providing a true and valid indication of individual achievement. It requires a commitment to honesty, respect and fairness in all academic endeavors.
In the interest of academic excellence and community trust, all 91勛圖厙community members are responsible for understanding and upholding the tenets of the Code of Academic Integrity. Your pledge to uphold these principles guarantees that work done and progress made at 91勛圖厙are legitimate within the broader academic community, as well as in the world beyond. Your personal and academic success depend on your commitment to the values and principles that form the foundation of the University.
During Orientation, you will be asked to sign a pledge agreeing to uphold the standards set forth in AUP's Code of Academic Integrity. Accepting this pledge is part of your induction into an academic community where ethical behavior is valued in all aspects of university life.
The American University of Paris deplores cheating, lying, fraud, theft and other behaviors that show disrespect for the rights of others and diminish the value of your degree. All academic work submitted at 91勛圖厙must be the product of the students own reflection, study and research. The following behaviors are examples of academic dishonesty and are prohibited:
Cheating:泭the act (or attempted act) of deception to misrepresent student mastery of information. Cheating includes the submission of the same paper or assignment for more than one class without the permission of all faculty involved. It also includes bringing unauthorized notes or electronic exchanges to examinations and copying from other students work.
Plagiarism:泭the presentation of someone else's work as one's own. This includes the use of any ideas, words or data, in written, oral or electronic form, without properly attributing their source(s). It also includes the submission of purchased papers or papers borrowed from or written by other students or authors.
Fabrication:泭the use of invented information, or the falsification of research or of other findings.
Obtaining unfair or illegal advantage:泭gaining unauthorized access to examination materials;泭participating in unauthorized collaboration;泭tampering with common resources, databases or university records; and using unauthorized aids, including electronic devices.
Multiple submissions of student work:泭submitting, without express permission, any coursework more than once or to fulfill requirements for more than one course.
Facilitating academic dishonesty:泭participation in the violation of any provision of the Code of Academic Integrity.
If you have questions about any aspect of the Code of Academic Integrity, ask a faculty member, a librarian or a staff member of the Academic Resource Center for guidance.
Ignorance of any aspect of the Code of Academic Integrity does not excuse its violation.
