• State your expectations for paper writing, lab assignments and other projects, including whether students can use old  lab reports or instructor's manual to complete their assignments. Do you allow resources such as Wikipedia, the Writing Center, CliffsNotes or SparkNotes to write papers
• Remind students several times, especially in introductory courses, about upcoming tests or projects, as well as resources available to them and preparation tactics they can use to help alleviate their anxiety.
• Use multiple versions of exams, and avoid the use of "old" exams.
• If applicable to your class, state your use of tools for plagiarism, such as TurnItIn.
• Direct students to the Writing Center for assistance.
• Define what you mean by collaboration on homework, labs, and other projects.
• Explain rules of scholarship and why that is important.
• Include any policies about re-grading and re-submission of assignments.
• Consider including an Integrity of Scholarship Agreement for students to sign. 
• Have students watch this quick overview about what constitutes plagiarism.

Use your class syllabus to promote academic integrity. Be sure to include what you expect regarding classroom conduct, what the policy is for academic integrity at Missouri S&T (http://registrar.mst.edu/academicregs/index.html), and your responsibility to report all suspected academic misconduct to the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education.

Also, refer students to the Missouri S&T Student Council-adopted Honor Code. (Note: This document was approved by the Missouri S&T Student Council in 2012 and has not necessarily been reviewed or approved by the UM Board of Curators or by the University of Missouri General Counsel.)

If a student is suspected of cheating during an examination, an instructor can make the academic judgment about the severity of the situation and take a variety of actions, such as:

• Give a warning to the student or in some other way let the student know he/she is being watched
• Move the student to another seat
• Take notes about the observation (student's name and names of students sitting nearby) but let the student continue the exam
• Take the student's exam not allowing the student to complete it

If proctors or teaching assistants observe the cheating, they should notify the instructor immediately. 

Save the original exams, papers or assignments when plagiarism or dishonesty are suspected. (Copies of the paperwork can be returned to the students.)

The instructor is encouraged to meet with the student one-on-one about any academic dishonesty.

This meeting should include the faculty  member's judgment for the behavior, based upon the academic standards communicated to the student in the course syllabus, catalogs, handbooks and other references. This may include a failing grade for the work submitted if the student's work has failed to meet the academic standards for that work, or a failing grade for the course if the student's work in the course has failed to meet the academic standards of the course.

Allow students suspected of academic dishonesty to continue in the course. Students cannot withdraw from the course while an academic misconduct charge is pending.

• The Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education will meet with the student and has the option to impose an appropriate sanction on the student.
• The student can either accept the discipline and sign the Acceptance of Discipline on Informal Disposition form or has the right to appeal the charge within 10 business days.
• If a student rejects the proposed sanction, the case moves to a formal hearing before the Student Conduct Committee. This committee can impose sanctions upon students as well.
