Academic work is a shared enterprise that depends on a commitment to truthfulness. SLC students are expected to abide by the standards of intellectual integrity that govern the broader academic community to which the College belongs. These standards entail acknowledging the origin of the ideas, data, and forms of expression that one employs in one’s own work; giving due credit to the sources from which one has borrowed; and affording one’s reader a means of consulting those sources directly. Different academic disciplines may have varying conventions of citation and acknowledgment, and electronic media have increased the availability of oral and printed sources. Students are expected to consult faculty members, library staff, and academic style manuals for specific, up-to-date guidelines on citation. In addition to the true representation of one’s own work, academic integrity requires that one not abet others in any misrepresentation of their work. It also requires that one not interfere with the access of other students to shared material such as library books, course packets, etc.
