Student Academic Responsibilities

Program admission to Clover Park Technical College carries with it the understanding that students will conduct themselves as responsible members of the college community.  This includes an expectation that students will obey appropriate laws, will comply with the rules of the college and its departments, and will maintain a high standard of integrity and honesty. CPTC Code of Conduct   http://www.cptc.edu/conduct-code

Dishonesty:  Honest assessment of student performance is of crucial importance to all members of the college community.  Acts of dishonesty are serious breaches of honor and shall be dealt with in the following manner:

  1. It is the responsibility of the college administration and faculty to provide reasonable and prudent security measures designed to minimize opportunities for acts of dishonesty that occur at the college.
  2. Any student who, for the purpose of fulfilling any assignment or task required by a staff member as part of the student’s program of study, shall knowingly tender any work product that the student fraudulently represents to the staff member as the student’s work product, shall be deemed to have committed an act of dishonesty. Acts of dishonesty shall be cause for disciplinary action and be subject to the processes described in the catalog.
  3. Any student who aids or abets the accomplishment of an act of dishonesty, as described in sub-paragraph b) above, shall be subject to disciplinary action.

Penalties for Academic Dishonesty:

For a first offense, a student will receive No Credit on the assignment.  If a second offense occurs, the student will receive no credit for the course.  For more information concerning student conduct and disciplinary procedures, please refer to the “Student Code of Conduct” in the CPTC Catalog.
