Ethics

Georgia Military College Honor Code: "I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do."

Georgia Military College acknowledges the need to preserve an orderly process with regard to teaching, learning, research, and public service, as well as the need to preserve and monitor students' academic rights and responsibilities. Since the primary goal of education is to increase one's own knowledge, academic dishonesty will not be tolerated at Georgia Military College.  Academic dishonesty includes the following examples, as well as similar conduct aimed at making false representation with respect to academic performance:

A. Cheating on an examination;

B. Collaborating with others on work to be presented, contrary to the stated rules of the course;

C. Plagiarizing, including the submission of others' ideas or papers (whether purchased, borrowed, or otherwise obtained) as one's own. When direct quotations are used in themes, essays, term papers, tests, book reviews, and other similar work, they must be indicated; and when ideas of another are incorporated in any paper, they must be acknowledged, according to a style of documentation appropriate to the discipline;

D. Stealing examination or course materials;

E. Falsifying records, laboratory results, or other data;

F. Submitting, if contrary to the rules of a course, work previously presented in another course;

G. Knowingly and intentionally assisting another student in any of the above, including assistance in an arrangement whereby any work, classroom performance, examination, or other activity is submitted or performed by a person other than the student under whose name the work is submitted or performed.
