Academic Integrity Any form of academic dishonesty at Hillsborough College is a violation of the student code of conduct. Students are expected to understand the definition of cheating:  “Cheating is using or attempting to use materials, information, notes, study aids, or other assistance in any type of examination or evaluation which have not been authorized by the instructor.”    Any evidence of cheating, even on a single question, will result in a 0 on the exam, and the 0 score cannot be dropped or replaced by the final exam score.   In addition, the violation may be reported to the Dean of Math and Science and the Dean of Student Services, and the student may be required to complete all remaining exam on campus at the Dale Mabry Campus testing center.    Question:  Do you understand the definition and consequences of cheating on exams?   

Final Comment and Submission Please know that all of these rules, from room setup to room scans to camera views to testing polices, are also designed to protect you from real or perceived cheating.  You want to ensure that your testing environment is beyond reproach, and not questionable in any way.
