Students are expected to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity. All work submitted must be original and properly cited. Plagiarism, cheating, or any form of academic dishonesty will result in immediate consequences as outlined in the university's academic integrity policy.

Georgia Tech aims to cultivate a community based on trust, academic integrity, and honor. Students are expected to act according to the highest ethical standards.

Any student suspected of cheating or plagiarizing on any course activity will be either

• reported to the Office of Student Integrity, who will investigate the incident and identify the appropriate penalty for violations if any, and/or
• addressed in a Faculty Conference Resolution between the course instructor and the student.

In either case, evidence of cheating or other violations of the Georgia Tech Honor Code may be submitted directly to the Office of Student Integrity (OSI) and to the student's designated facilitator at their high school.

Cheating includes, but is not limited to the following.

• Copying directly from any source during a closed-book exam, including friends, classmates, or a solutions manual.
• Allowing another person to format the work that you submitted for course credit.
• Taking a test using someone else’s name, or having someone else take a test in your name.
