College Policies – Academic Honesty

Effective Spring 2025

ACADEMIC HONESTY:   According to the Shasta College Student Handbook and the Shasta College Catalog, there are a number of unauthorized behaviors that violate the campus academic honesty policy. Each student should become familiar with the policy. 

Failure to acknowledge the work of other scholars constitutes an egregious breach of ethics and is a violation of civil law. You must, in all cases, do your own work, acknowledge sources, and document them appropriately. Otherwise, disciplinary sanctions will be applied. If you have any questions about plagiarism, please do not hesitate to contact me.  In other words, cheating of any sort will not be tolerated and will result in an “F” for the assignment, quiz, or exam, and the case may be reported to Student Services.
