| Behavior |
Cheating is defined in the Webster's College Dictionary as "taking an examination in a dishonest way, as by having improper access to answers." Improper access includes, but is not limited to, copying from another student's work and using unauthorized sources of information while taking a test. Any student caught cheating on a test will receive a grade of zero with no chance of making up that grade. For a further definition and discussion of scholastic dishonesty, please refer to the Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook. http://sites.actx.edu/catalog/notices/
