All formal education is a partnership between teachers and students. This partnership works best when all involved share common values and goals. To achieve this, students must clearly understand what is expected of them (and what they should expect of themselves) and teachers must reciprocate by making their educational objectives and expectations clear. When these objectives and expectations are fulfilled, all involved can have a rewarding and empowering experience. Please review the attached two-page academic partnership document that describes the academic integrity policy of the college. The college works closely with the Academic Integrity Office of Syracuse University to provide a consistent treatment of academic integrity violations.
