Academic integrity violations include the following:
Plagiarism. Plagiarism is defined as use of intellectual material produced by another person without
acknowledging its source. For example:
•
•
•
Wholesale copying of passages from works of others into an assignment, paper, or discussion board posting, or
thesis or dissertation without acknowledgment
Using the views, opinions, or insights of another without acknowledgment
Paraphrasing another person’s characteristic or original phraseology, metaphor, or other literary device without
acknowledgment
Students’ Misuse of Their Own Scholarly Work

During their studies at Walden, students may find themselves writing for a second, third, or fourth time on the
same topic; regardless, their writing is expected to reflect new approaches and insights into that topic to
demonstrate their intellectual growth.
Walden recognizes that there may be some overlap between the requirements, assignments, and inquiry for
different courses and KAM demonstrations. In general, students may use only small portions of documents as
background or foundational material for additional development in a subsequent assignment or research
project. Students may not merely copy and paste substantial sections from one paper or KAM to another. Any
use of prior work is at the discretion of the instructor: students must receive prior approval from their
instructor, who may request a copy of the previous work. Fair use laws must be respected for published
documents.
When using their own scholarly work in subsequent research, students should cite themselves as a primary
author and their previous coursework or KAM demonstrations as unpublished papers, as shown in The
Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.
Cheating. Cheating is defined as fraud, deceit, or dishonesty in an academic assignment. It includes using or
attempting to use materials, or assisting others in using materials, that are prohibited or inappropriate in the
context of the academic assignment in question. For example
•
Copying or attempting to copy from others during an exam or on an assignment
Communicating answers with another person during an exam
Preprogramming a calculator to contain answers or other unauthorized information for exams
Using unauthorized materials, prepared answers, written notes, or concealed information during an exam
Allowing others to do an assignment or portion of an assignment, including the use of a commercial term paper
service
Submitting the same assignment for more than one course without the prior approval of all the instructors
involved (See the Students’ Misuse of Their Own Scholarly Work section above for more information.)
Collaborating on an exam or assignment with any other person without prior approval from the course
instructor
Taking an exam for another person or having someone take an exam for you
b.
Providing False Information. For example
•
•
Furnishing false information in the context of an academic assignment
Fabricating or altering information or data and presenting it as legitimate
•
•
•
Providing false or misleading information to an instructor or any other university staff member
c.
Copyright Violation. Walden recognizes and respects intellectual property rights. As part of its mission to
maintain the highest standards for ethical conduct, the university requires its employees, instructors, students,
and other university community members to use copyrighted materials in a lawful manner.
No employee, instructor, student, nor other university community member may reproduce any copyrighted
work in print, video, or electronic form in violation of the law. The easiest way to avoid violating the law is by
receiving the express written permission of the copyright holder. Copyright laws in the United States may
protect works even if they are not registered with the U.S. Copyright Office and even if they do not carry the
copyright symbol.
Copyrighted works include, but are not limited to, printed articles from publications, television and radio
programs, videotapes, music performances, photographs, training materials, manuals, documentation, software
programs, databases, World Wide Web pages, and CD-ROMs. In general, the laws that apply to printed materials
are also applicable to visual and electronic media.
Walden directs its employees, instructors, students, and other university community members to obtain
appropriate permission from copyright holders directly, or from their licensing representative, when
reproduction or duplication exceeds fair use. The fair use doctrine allows limited exemptions to copyright
infringement liability when copyrighted works are used for purposes such as comment, criticism, teaching,
scholarship, or research, particularly when the use of the work is limited in amount and scope and is for
noncommercial purposes. To learn more about fair use, visit Copyright Law of the United States of America.
d.
Misrepresentation of Credentials. Statements made and documents supplied by Walden applicants and
students must be complete and accurate. The university will not tolerate any misrepresentation by a student or
applicant of past or current academic programs, degrees, or professional accomplishments. If unexplained
discrepancies appear between statements or documents provided to Walden and information obtained
otherwise, except in the case of misspellings and other such inadvertent errors, applicants may be rejected for
admission and enrolled students may be dismissed.
e.
Theft or Damage of Property. For example
•
•
•
Sabotaging or stealing another person’s assignment, paper, project, electronic hardware, or software
Obtaining improper access to, or electronically interfering with, the property of another person or the university
via computer or other means
Obtaining a copy of an assignment or exam prior to its approved release by the instructor
f.
Alteration of University Documents. For example
•
•
•
•
Forging an instructor’s or university official’s signature on any document
Submitting an altered transcript of grades to or from another institution or employer
Putting your name on, or copying, another person’s paper or assignment
Altering a previously graded exam or assignment for purposes of a grade appeal or for gaining points in a
regarding process
