Academic Dishonesty
Academic dishonesty (cheating) is defined as the deception of others about
ones own work or about the work of another. Academic dishonesty or misconduct is not condoned or tolerated at campuses within the Tulsa Community College system. Tulsa Community College adopts a policy delegating
certain forms of authority for disciplinary action to the faculty. Such disciplinary actions delegated to the faculty include, but are not limited to, the
dismissal of disrespectful or disorderly students from classes. In the case of
academic dishonesty a faculty member may:
require the student to redo an assignment or test, or require the student to complete a substitute assignment or test;
Record a "zero" for the assignment or test in question;
Recommend to the student that the student withdraw from the class,
or administratively withdraw the student from the class;
Record a grade of "F" for the student at the end of the semester.
Faculty may request that disciplinary action be taken against a student at
the administrative level by submitting such request to the Dean of Student
Services.

Institutional Statement
Each student is responsible for being aware of the information contained in
the TCC Catalog, TCC Student Handbook, Student Code of Conduct Policy
Handbook, and semester information listed in the class schedule. All information may be viewed on the TCC website: www.tulsacc.edu
