Academic Dishonesty Policy

Students must produce work that reflects their own effort and thought. Haynes Academy students are expected to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity and intellectual honesty. Cheating and plagiarism will not be tolerated. 

 

Cheating includes, but is not limited to:

• Signing into an online program using another student's account and completing the assignment for them, or having another student complete your online assignment.

• Allowing another person to make significant changes to your work including content, word choice, and sentence structure. Proofreaders should offer suggestions, not rewrite content.

• Using a program or other internet sources to complete independent work.

• Using an artificial intelligence (AI) app or software to complete your work
