University Policy. The University-wide policies regarding academic misconduct apply to the MSAT program as well. Each ATS should familiarize himself or herself with the Rules of Conduct in the University Handbook. Academic misconduct is any form of cheating, including using concealed notes during exams, copying or allowing others to copy from an exam, ATSs substituting for one another in exams, submission of another person's work for evaluation, preparing work for another person's submission, unauthorized collaboration on an assignment, submission of the same or substantially similar work for two courses without the permission of the professors. Plagiarism is a form of academic misconduct that involves taking either direct quotes or slightly altered, paraphrased material from a source without proper citations and thereby failing to credit the original author. Plagiarism includes cutting and pasting sources from the Internet, as well as purchasing papers from other students or specialized websites. Be forewarned; under no circumstances will academic misconduct be tolerated. Disciplinary action in such cases will be severe and swift, ranging from receiving a failing grade on an exam or paper to dismissal from the MSAT program and/or the University. The MSAT program faculty follows the Academic Integrity Policy set by Waynesburg University (see the current University catalog for more information). A student will only be reinstated into the MSAT program once he or she has met or surpassed the requirements designated as deficient. The committee will meet and a decision will be rendered. Any student that feels he/she did not receive fair process may appeal following the Waynesburg University student grievance policy.
