National American University has a commitment to academic integrity. Academic integrity means honesty and responsibility.

Academic dishonesty is when a student lies or cheats in any way on any type of academic exercise. There are many forms of dishonesty. Cheating, plagiarism, fabrication and falsification, multiple submission, and complicity in academic dishonesty are just some (NAU Student Handbook, 2013). Cheating is a very common form of dishonesty. Cheating is when one uses some type of help or assistance to make a better grade that is not authorized to be used. No help should be given, unless the teacher specifies otherwise. Examples of cheating could be copying off another student, using cheat notes, or trying to use your phone or other device to get answers.

Examples of plagiarism are not quoting the material copied or citing the reference properly.
