10. Expectations for Academic Conduct/Plagiarism Policy

• Academic Conduct Policy
The University of West Florida is dedicated to the highest principles and standards of
academic integrity. An academic violation by a student can negatively impact a class,
program and/or college in ways that are unique to each discipline. Therefore, the University
believes that the severity of an academic infraction is best evaluated by the faculty of the
institution. The University seeks to offer students an opportunity to respond to allegations
of academic misconduct before a decision is rendered. This regulation seeks to provide
faculty and students with a fair process for addressing allegations of academic misconduct.

responsibilities/academic-misconduct-code-and-forms/
• Plagiarism Policy
The UWF Student Handbook, Code of Student Conduct, Academic Misconduct, states:
"Plagiarism. The act of representing the ideas, words, creations or work of another as one's
own."
Plagiarism combines theft with fraud, and the penalty is correspondingly severe: failure for
the assignment and, in some cases, for the entire course. At the instructor's discretion,
she/he may recommend that the student be suspended from the University.
Ignorance of the rules about plagiarism is no excuse for it, and carelessness is just as bad as
purposeful violation. Students who have plagiarized have cheated themselves out of the
experience of being responsible members of the academic community and have cheated
their classmates by pretending to contribute original ideas.
For complete information regarding Academic Misconduct, refer to the UWF Student
Handbook or contact Student Affairs.
