  • Fabricating: Submitting material for lab assignments, class projects or other assignments which is wholly or partially falsified, invented or otherwise does not represent your work.
  • Dividing into separate papers a study that is more accurate as a single entity.
  • Double Dipping: Submitting a paper for publication that has already been disseminated in a significant way (published in a journal, presented at a conference, posted on the internet) without indicating so to the intended publisher.
  • Any act which gains or is intended to gain an unfair academic advantage may be considered an act of academic dishonesty.
