Academic Ethics
Students are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the highest standards of honesty and integrity. Cheating, plagiarism, illegitimate possession and disposition of examinations, alteration, forgery or falsification of official records and similar acts or the attempt to engage in such acts are grounds for suspension or expulsion from the university.
Any reported act of academic dishonesty may be referred to the Leeds School of Business Academic Ethics and Appeals Committee at the discretion of the associate dean, a member of the instructional staff or another appropriate university representative.
Students are advised that plagiarism consists of any act involving the offering of someone else's work as the student's own. It is recommended that students consult with instructors as to the proper preparation of reports, papers, etc., in order to avoid this and similar offenses.
Official school procedures concerning academic ethics are maintained in the Office of Undergraduate Studies.
