Academic Integrity at Foothill College

According to the Student Handbook at Foothill College, all students agree to follow the standards of Academic Integrity as set by Foothill College guidelines and committees. According to the Student Handbook, 

"Academic integrity means honesty and responsibility in scholarship. Unless collaboration is explicitly authorized, all academic work should result from an individual's own efforts. Intellectual contributions from others must be consistently and responsibly acknowledged. Students accused of violating Foothill's academic integrity policy will face judicial action, up to the possibility of suspension from the college.
