The relationship between students and faculty is based upon trust, and the continued maintenance of this trust is necessary for education to be successful.
Students need to trust that faculty have made appropriate judgments as to the content and structure of the course.
Faculty members need to trust that the work turned in by students represents their own effort.
Violation of this trust undermines the educational process. As such, academic dishonesty will be dealt with seriously.
Any student found to have copied a homework assignment, or cheated on a quiz or examination will receive a failing grade (F) for the assignment, and be referred to the Associate Dean of FAMU-FSU College of Engineering for disciplinary action. Students are cautioned that the disciplinary sanctions for academic dishonesty (imposed in addition to the F grade) can be quite severe.
