College of Dental Medicine (CDM)—Predoctoral Program 2025–2026 130 Therefore, the failure of a student to adhere to academic or behavioral standards of NSU and/or the CDM, including, but not limited to, the attempt of any student to pass any examination by improper or prohibited means; misrepresent their presence in any program activity; misrepresent faculty approval or grade of any assignment or any program activity; knowingly giving, receiving, using, or allowing one’s work to be copied; giving out exam questions or answers; releasing or selling unauthorized course material; submitting any assignment or project (written, preclinical, laboratory, clinical, other) that the student did not personally carry out; aiding, abetting, or observing any other student in any dishonest academic act; or having direct knowledge of such without reporting it; may subject the offending student to a meeting before the SPC and disciplinary action up to, and including, dismissal from the college. Students shall be afforded the opportunity for an internal and private (i.e., no nonuniversity participants) meeting with the SPC in matters relevant to academic dishonesty. Any report of student academic dishonesty will be investigated. The report and result(s) of the investigation will be maintained in the student’s academic file in the CDM Office for Academic Affairs. 3. Plagiarism Policy All work submitted must be the original work of the student. Any assignment that is not the original work of the student is considered to be plagiarized and in violation of the Academic and/or Behavioral Codes set forth herein. Plagiarism occurs when another person’s work, words, or ideas are represented as one’s own without the use of proper citation (e.g., copied from another source such as an author, another student, faculty member, researcher, etc., without properly acknowledging the actual writer/author), or when another person’s work is copied or otherwise duplicated. Plagiarism also occurs when knowingly giving or allowing one’s own work to be copied or otherwise duplicated by another for academic credit, or when resubmitting one’s own work (i.e., work that has previously been submitted for academic credit). Course assignments and any other work submitted in fulfillment of course requirements may be randomly checked for plagiarism. Students are required to abide by the following statement, which is included in all CDM course syllabi: All assignments, exams, works, patient care, whether written, laboratory, oral, or clinical, must be done as the independent work of each individual student. Plagiarism, copying, or sharing the work of another; altering documentation to present something as your own work when it is not; or falsely stating attendance at a class when a student is not present are all considered serious offenses that will not be tolerated. These actions will be considered in violation of the CDM Code of Behavioral Conduct and will be referred for appropriate action. Students who need assistance in their learning goals should communicate with the appropriate CDM course director and/or faculty member. 4. Postings Prohibited Unless advance written permission is obtained from the CDM dean’s office, the posting of any photographs, audio or video recordings of any kind, taken in classrooms, laboratories, clinics, administrative areas, or grade postings is expressly prohibited.
