ACADEMIC DISHONESTY DEFINITION
What is Academic Dishonesty?
Academic Dishonesty Definition
Academic Integrity Module
Recognizing and Avoiding Plagiarism
Ashford University students will pursue learning with rigorous academic
integrity. Ashford University defines academic dishonesty as deceitful and/or
deceptive attempts to fulfill academic requirements.
While plagiarism is the most common form of academic dishonesty, cheating or
furnishing fabricated or false information to Ashford University officials and/or
faculty (such as lying to effect a grade change) are also acts of academic
dishonesty prohibited by Student Community Standards.
The academic community of the University believes that one of the goals of an institution of higher learning is
to strengthen academic integrity and responsibility among its members. To this end, the University, throughout
its history, has emphasized the importance of sound judgment and a personal sense of responsibility in each
student. All members of the academic community are expected to abide by the highest standards of academic
integrity.
As part of the University’s policy on academic integrity it is expected that students will not submit an
assignment that is an exact copy of work previously submitted in another course at any institution. The
University understands that work within a discipline is interconnected and expects students, when writing
about similar topics, to enhance and refine the content of an assignment as they progress through their
program of study. It is not acceptable to resubmit the exact same copy of work previously submitted without
enhancing or refining the concepts contained in the assignment. Submitting an exact copy of work, or any
portion of work, previously submitted in another course may adversely affect one’s grade and/or be
considered a violation of the Student Community Standard of Integrity.
Academic dishonesty is a serious offense at the University because it undermines the bonds of trust and
personal responsibility between and among students and faculty, weakens the credibility of the academic
enterprise, and defrauds those who believe in the value and integrity of the degree. Ashford University will
consider the cumulative record of any student with respect to academic integrity violations, regardless of the
student’s current academic program or status. For example, violations of the Academic Integrity policy while
an undergraduate, but not discovered until the student is enrolled in an Ashford graduate program, will be
addressed during the student’s graduate program. This may result in sanctions, a change in the student’s
eligibility status for his or her graduate enrollment, and/or impact retroactively on the student’s fulfillment of all
undergraduate program requirements.
Cheating
Intentionally using or attempting to use unauthorized materials, information, or study aids in any
academic exercise (e.g., test, essay, etc.).
Fabrication
Intentional and unauthorized falsification or invention of any information or citation in an
academic exercise.
Facilitating Academic Dishonesty
Intentionally or knowingly helping or attempting to help another student commit a violation of
academic integrity.
Plagiarism
Plagiarizing denies the student the opportunity to develop as an ethical and conscientious human
being. Plagiarism is defined as representing the words or ideas of another as one’s own in any
academic exercise, including draft assignments that are submitted and graded as a part of the
curriculum. Plagiarism occurs when a student deliberately uses the ideas, language, or other
material (that is not common knowledge) without acknowledging the original source. The use of
materials, including printed or online texts, as well as the work of others, can be considered
plagiarism when presented as one’s own work.
Acts of plagiarism include, but are not limited to:
Copying text from printed materials, which include books, magazines, encyclopedias, newspapers, online
sources, etc., without proper citation;
The modification of text with the intent of changing phrases, changing words, or interspacing the student’s
work into the plagiarized work;
“Copy and paste” plagiarism, which involves copying and pasting materials from Internet sources and
presenting them as one’s original work;
The use of another student’s work, even if the student has the permission of the other student. The use of
another’s work constitutes an act of collusion, which constitutes an act of plagiarism;
The use of materials purchased from the Internet or elsewhere;
Recycling a previously-submitted assignment for a current course, but representing the assignment as
original work; or
Paraphrasing or summarizing another’s work without giving appropriate credit.
The following exceptions to variations on recycling are allowed by Ashford:
If a student wishes to repurpose work from a past course for a current course (for example, using work
from PSY 202 in PSY 301), that student may do so only if all of the following criteria are satisfied:
https://awc.ashford.edu/ap-academic-dishonesty-definition.html

Ashford Writing
Instructor permission is granted. Not all instructors grant this permission.
The student emails the current instructor a copy of the originally submitted student work that they
wish to repurpose prior to submitting an assignment that contains the recycled material. This
submission includes the start date of the course where the material was originally used. The
instructor may then provide written approval of the re-submission.
The reused material is properly attributed in terms of “self-citing” in the submitted document.
The student substantially enhances and refines what was submitted previously.
A student may resubmit, without penalty, classwork from a previous unsuccessful attempt at a course in a
second or subsequent attempt at the same course if University credit has not previously been earned in
the course. An unsuccessful attempt is defined as failing the course, earning a grade of W or N/A, failing
to meet the grade necessary to satisfy a general education competency, or failing to meet the grade for
the course required by your degree program.
However:
The student must inform the current course instructor of this reuse of content prior to submission
of the reused material.
For additional resources related to the Recycling Policy, please reference the Recycling Policy and Resource
Document
What are the Consequences of Academic Dishonesty?
A student who commits an act of academic dishonesty may face disciplinary action, including but not limited
to: failure to receive credit on an academic exercise, course failure, and/or dismissal from the University.
Ashford University may also extend its jurisdiction to misconduct that occurs prior to, but not reported until
after the graduation of the offending student. There is no statute of limitations for violations of the Academic
Integrity policy.
Instructors or other University staff may report instances of academic dishonesty to the Academic Integrity
Department (online modality) or the College Dean (Clinton-campus modality), or designee; the student will
receive a notice informing him or her of the offense, as well as any resulting disciplinary action(s). Academic
Integrity violations are adjudicated by the Academic Integrity Administrators (online) and by the College Dean
(Clinton Campus).
If it is determined that a student is found responsible for violating the Academic Dishonesty policy and a
singular violation is egregious, or there are multiple instances of academic dishonesty violations, the student
issue will be referred to the Student Affairs department to review for the possibility of sanctioning up to and
including removal from the University.
The student may be asked to meet for either an Informal Hearing or a Formal Hearing (Student Community
Standards Committee). Student Affairs will not reconsider the issue of student responsibility as determined by
the Academic Integrity Department (online modality) or the College Dean (Clinton Campus modality), but will
only determine appropriate sanctions to be applied.
For more information on academic dishonesty, please refer to the Ashford Academic Catalog.

4.1 Digital Citizenship and Etiquette Awareness
In the 1960s Canadian theorist Marshall McLuhan recognized that technology and media allowed people to
share ideas and interests in ways that were previously unknown. McLuhan coined the term global village to
describe how we are connected with others through technology. McLuhan, of course, wrote long before the
Internet had been invented, but he recognized the fact that when we engage with other people, no matter the
context, we have shared rights and responsibilities. A digital citizen can be de ined as a person who uses
digital resources to engage in society (Mossberger, Tolbert, & McNeal, 2008).
The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) has developed standards for identifying a good
digital student–citizen. The society de ines digital citizenship among students in the following way: “Students
understand human, cultural, and societal issues related to technology and practice legal and ethical behavior”
(ISTE, 2007, p. 2). Good digital student–citizens, in the ISTE’s (2007) view, conform to the following four
actions:
1. Advocate and practice safe, legal, and responsible use of information and technology.
2. Exhibit a positive attitude toward using technology that supports collaboration, learning, and
productivity.
3. Demonstrate personal responsibility for lifelong learning.
4. Exhibit leadership for digital citizenship. (p. 2)
What type of digital citizen are you? Do you meet the criteria listed? In what areas could you improve to be a
better digital citizen?
A Good Digital Citizen Understands and Avoids Plagiarism
Digital citizenship translates to your online college classroom in that good digital student–citizens practice
academic integrity. They conform to the academic integrity policies and student community standards in the
university catalog available on the Student Portal home page. They avoid plagiarism, which occurs when a
writer uses someone else’s language, ideas, or other original (non-common-knowledge) material without

acknowledging its source (Council of Writing Program Administrators, 2003). They use critical thinking to
formulate responses to assignments and to develop academic papers.
Plagiarism is a serious offense. When you represent another’s work
as your own or closely copy the language or arrangement of a
document that is not yours, you are stealing other people’s work.
Most organizations and academic institutions, including Ashford
University, have strict policies prohibiting plagiarism. Faculty
members are required to report suspected plagiarism, and a formal
investigation is conducted. If you are found guilty, the penalties are
severe and may result in a failing grade on the assignment, a failing
grade for the class, suspension from the university, or expulsion. Such
consequences are a stain on your academic record and a blemish on
your integrity and your reputation. You must be extremely careful to
give other people credit when you use their ideas, because forgetting
to give credit to others is not a valid excuse. Some examples of actions
that would be considered plagiarism are as follows:
Submitting a paper written by someone other than yourself,
such as a friend, family member, or a previous student.
Submitting a paper written by you for another class, unless
you have permission from your instructor and clearly
indicate that the paper was submitted previously for another
purpose. Ashford University’s policy on recycling your
assignments can be found in the “Student Responsibilities
and Policies” link in the classroom.
Submitting a paper you found online or purchased on the
Internet.
Copying partial or complete sentences or paragraphs from
the work of others without giving them credit.
Changing only a few words from another person’s work and
then passing it off as your own idea.
Forgetting to include the source of other people’s ideas you
used in your paper.

Plagiarism is a serious offense that
includes using someone else’s
language, ideas, or other original
material without acknowledging
the source.
It is important to refrain from plagiarism under any circumstance, whether academic, professional, or
personal. This includes when you are writing a paper for class, making a comment in a discussion forum, doing
a presentation, or engaging in social media. It is never appropriate to present someone else’s ideas as your
own.
A Good Digital Citizen Respects Copyright Laws
To be a good digital citizen in your Ashford University classes, you will be required to understand and respect
copyright laws and make sure you do not violate them by using others’ materials either inappropriately or
without written permission. The following resource provides a brief overview of these laws and how to
observe
them:

In any society, having good manners and being polite are
important to ensure that people respect one another and
treat others appropriately. As a good digital citizen, you
must also practice good manners. Over the past few years,
a system of online etiquette has evolved about what is
considered polite and professional behavior when using
digital resources.
In the physical world, etiquette includes unwritten rules
of good behavior such as holding the door open for the
person entering a building behind you, not shouting or
being rude in public, and showing respect for your

interpreting the writer’s tone. What we think is short,
sweet, and to the point, other people might interpret as rude, abrupt, or condescending. Always reread what
you write before posting online to reduce the likelihood that what you have written will be misunderstood.
The following is a brief list of ground rules for communicating in any online environment. In the remainder of
the module, we will look more closely at digital citizenship and etiquette in the classroom, at work, and on
social media.
Always avoid offensive language, and reread what you write so it is unlikely to be interpreted as
offensive.
Never share personal information or material about other people.
Never distribute pornographic or slanderous material.
Don’t engage in laming, a term that describes an increasingly intense and vicious debate. If it appears
that a discussion is headed in this direction, simply stop.
Remember the Golden Rule: Treat people the way you would like to be treated.
Have you ever displayed negative etiquette online? What steps can you take to improve in this area? Are there
any tips on etiquette you would add to this list?
In addition to avoiding plagiarism and displaying appropriate etiquette, a good digital citizen protects the
online community by making sure to guard against transmitting computer viruses and other threats by
installing antivirus and security software on his or her computer. We will discuss this topic in more detail in
Module 6. A good digital citizen also exhibits a positive attitude toward the use of technology, supports others
in the community, takes personal responsibility for lifelong learning, and acts as a role model for other
students.
These rules are easy to learn and will quickly become second nature. This course is designed to make your
online experiences fun, useful, and as positive as possible.

Understanding Digital Citizenship Worksheet
Student Name: Jaime Patterson
Purpose: Use this worksheet to identify and demonstrate good digital citizenship skills.
Prepare: Read Section 4.1 in Module 4 and review the Netiquette Rules found in the Course
Policies, About Discussions area of your classroom.
Write: Below there are three scenarios. Read each of the scenarios and answer the questions
below.
Scenario #1
Miguel is a full-time online student, a full-time employee, and a father. He finds that he is
constantly struggling with balancing all of his responsibilities and is trying to figure out a way to
manage his time wisely. He is only in his third class and has already submitted assignments late.
Trying to complete his assignments has been stressful and when he does manage to submit his
work on time, he is working on it up until the last minute.
Miguel has a three-page paper to write for his class tonight. He just sat down to work on it at
9:00 p.m. He had hoped to take the instructor’s feedback from last week and use it to improve
his work on this assignment; however, because it is so late, he already feels that he won’t have
time to submit his work at the level of quality the professor is looking for. He feels pressured
and stressed.
To complete the paper, Miguel has to do some research on the topic. Since he has not yet taken
the time to explore the library, he believes it would take too long to use this as a research tool.
Therefore, he decides to Google the topic for his paper.
He pulls up several websites, and finds plenty of information that he can use. Because he is
running out of time to complete his paper, he decides to copy the information he has found
(without citing) and after changing just a few words, he submits his paper on time.
In complete sentences, respond to the following:
1)
In at least three sentences, describe how Miguel’s actions do not align with being
a good digital citizen.
2)
In at least three sentences, explain the potential consequences of Miguel’s
actions.
3)
Describe three alternative actions that Miguel could have taken in this situation.

3.
4)
Review Ashford University’s Policy on recycling assignments (found in the
Ashford Catalogue under Student’s Rights and Responsibilities) and in your
own words, explain what it means to “recycle” an assignment.
Scenario #2
Margaret is a full-time online student. She is currently in her second class and has been working
very hard on maintaining a B average in her classes so far. She is hoping to achieve an A
average by the end of her current class. However, in order for her to accomplish her academic
goal, she knows she needs to make improvements in her school work.
One strategy that she knows she needs to use is to ask her instructor for feedback. The class is
currently in the third week and Margaret has just opened the gradebook to view her grade and
feedback from the assignment she completed the week before. Margaret reviews the feedback
