Students found guilty of any form of academic dishonesty face consequences ranging from interaction with the Academic Dean to expulsion from KTU. To ensure that students are aware of all exam limitations, especially concerning academic honesty, all exam instructions need to be carefully reviewed before beginning the exam.

• Copying the work of another student during an examination or other
academic exercise.
• Permitting another student to copy your work.
• Taking an examination for another student.
• Allowing another student to take your examination.
• Possessing unauthorized notes, study sheets, examinations, or other
materials during an examination or other academic exercise.
• Collaborating with another student during an academic exercise without
the instructor’s consent.
• Falsifying examination results.
Plagiarism is defined as the use of another’s ideas or words without appropriate acknowledgment. Examples of plagiarism include the following:
• Failing to use quotation marks when directly quoting from a source.
• Failing to document distinctive ideas from a source.
• Fabricating or inventing sources.

without attribution.
Any time a concept or quotation from another author is used in student writing, the concept or quotation must be identified and footnoted.
