Academic Integrity Policy

It is expected that all Cascia Hall students will be academically honest. Academic integrity is a basic guiding principle for all academic activity at Cascia Hall Preparatory School, allowing the pursuit of knowledge in an open, honest, and responsible manner. This means that they will act independently, unless otherwise advised, while working on projects, quizzes, tests, exams and any other graded assignments.

Copying homework is unacceptable.

Students will not plagiarize and will use appropriate citations when using outside sources.

Any student who is found to have engaged in academic dishonesty – cheating, plagiarizing, use of any unauthorized self produced visual aids, copying another student’s work, giving another student work to copy, viewing another’s work during a quiz, test, or exam, passing off another’s work as their own, or otherwise engaging in behavior that purposefully undermines the intent of the learning activity – will face academic and possibly disciplinary consequences.

Academically he/she will be reported to the Guidance Counselor who will then inform the Director of School.

If there are further offenses he/she will be reported to the Dean of Students who will administer the appropriate disciplinary consequences, up to and including expulsion.
