What is the UM-ISHS's policy on academic honesty?

Any inappropriate use of the Internet is strongly discouraged by the UM-Independent Study High School and The University of Mississippi. Academic integrity is expected in the completion of UM-Independent Study High School courses. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, plagiarism, fabrication of information or citations, submitting work of another person or work previously used without informing the instructor and securing written approval, facilitating acts of academic dishonesty by others, unauthorized prior possession of examinations, or tampering with the computer files and/or academic work of other students. A student charged with academic dishonesty will be given oral or written notice of the charge by the instructor, and appropriate action will be determined by the administration.

As in any course of study, your success in this course is dependent on the amount of attention you give each assessment, your study skills, the experiences you bring to the course, and the help you receive while taking the course. We encourage you to give each assignment maximum effort. Seek assistance from your teacher regarding course content, and/or the UM-Independent Study High School for other needs or questions.
