Academic integrity
Students, faculty, and staff at Marquette University recognize the importance of integrity in all aspects of life and work. We commit ourselves to truthfulness, honor, and responsibility by which we earn the respect of others. We support the development of good character in our academic community, and commit to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity as an important aspect of personal integrity. Our commitment obliges us as students, faculty, and staff to conduct ourselves according to the Marquette University Honor Code. We do this in pursuit of Marquette University's mission, which is the search for truth, the discovery and sharing of knowledge, the fostering of personal and professional excellence, the promotion of a life of faith, and the development of leadership expressed in service to others.
Student obligations under the Honor Code:
- To fully observe the rules governing exams and assignments regarding resource material, electronic aids, copying, collaborating with others, or engaging in any other behavior that subverts the purpose of the exam or assignment and the directions of the instructor.
- To turn in work done specifically for the paper or assignment, and not to borrow work either from other students, or from assignments for other courses, unless approved by the faculty member.
- To give full and proper credit to sources and references, and to acknowledge the contributions and ideas of others relevant to academic work.
- To report circumstances that may compromise academic honest, such as inattentive proctoring or premature posting of answers.
- To complete individual assignments individually, and neither to accept nor give unauthorized help.
- To accurately represent their academic achievements, which may include grade point average, degree, honors, etc., in transcripts, in interviews, in professional organizations, on resumes, and in the workplace.
- To report any observed breaches of this honor code and academic honesty.
