JCCC lays out clear guidelines within the Student Code of Conduct on academic dishonesty, cheating, and plagiarism. While the majority of this website focuses on plagiarism, it is important to highlight the other ways in which the Code of Conduct can be broken. Examples of cheating and academic dishonesty can include, but are not limited to:
- Getting test or homework answers from another student
- Sharing test or homework answers with other students
- Using group messaging (ex: GroupMe) during a test to receive from or distribute answers to others
- Using information found on cheating websites (ex: Chegg, Course Hero) and passing the answers off as your won
- Using AI to generate answers and submitting the text (even if slightly altered) as your own
Please note, each faculty member can have additional guidelines around academic dishonesty, cheating, and plagiarism that pertain only to their class. Pay close attention to course syllabi for more information.
