Academic Integrity

Lewis & Clark College believes that each member of the community is responsible for the integrity of his or her individual academic performance. In addition, because each act of dishonesty harms the entire community, all individuals--students, faculty, and staff members alike--are responsible for encouraging the integrity of others: by their own example, by confronting individuals they observe committing dishonest acts, and/or by discussing such actions with a faculty member or academic dean, who will respect the confidentiality of such discussions.

It is important for all Lewis & Clark students to understand what constitutes academic dishonesty; therefore every incoming new student is asked to complete the plagiarism tutorial, to read and sign the Academic Integrity Policy form, and to submit the signed form to the Exploration and Discovery office (Miller 433).

For more information about the College's Academic Integrity Policy and procedures, consult the student handbook ('"Pathfinder"), or contact the Dean of Students, or the Office of the Dean of the College.
