Intellectual Honesty

A degree from Albertus Magnus College represents not only a high quality of intellectual achievement, but also the completion of the work in accordance with the highest standards of academic honesty and integrity.

Standards of academic honesty dictate that students will observe the following principles:

• The student’s work shall be the result of their own effort
• The student shall give the appropriate acknowledgement of others’ work that is cited in papers and/or presentations
• No paper or presentation may be offered in more than one course without permission of the instructor. 
• In completing written assignments, the student must work independently unless the instructor indicates otherwise.
• Due regard must be observed for the right of others to have fair and equal access to library resources.

The following regulations are in keeping with these standards:

Examinations

• Under the honor system, examinations are not proctored.
