The Roosevelt Faculty and Administration have adopted the following Academic Integrity Policy, beginning in the 2002-2003 academic year. Please read it carefully.

Each Roosevelt student is expected to do his or her own work, including homework assignments, essays, lab work, exams, and projects.

You can be sure of maintaining academic integrity if you do the following:

• Cite sources from which you directly take any ideas, information, images, etc., other than your own.
• Cite sources from which you paraphrase anyone else’s ideas in your own words and style.
• Refuse to share your own work or receive the work of others unless approved by the teacher
• Work with others only when that collaboration has been approved by the teacher
• Participate fully in collaborative efforts and projects.

Failure to follow any of the above constitutes cheating or plagiarism and will not be tolerated. The range of possible consequences will include the following:

• A zero for that work with no makeup credit
• Grade reduction or failure for the nine-weeks or semester
• Referral to the unit principal
• Parent contact and/or conference
• suspension and/or expulsion
