Clovis North Honor and Integrity Code
Based on Stanford University’s Honor Code = http://www.stanford.edu/dept/vpsa/judicialaffairs/guiding/honorcode.htm Additional information - http://greenhopehigh.wcpss.net/media/cheating_definition.htm

The Honor Code is an undertaking of the students, individually and collectively:
1. that they will not give or receive aid in examinations; that they will not give or receive
unpermitted aid in class work, in the preparation of reports, or in any other work that is to be used by the instructor as the basis of grading;
2. that they will do their share and take an active part in seeing to it that others as well as themselves uphold the spirit and letter of the Honor Code.

General conduct which will be regarded as being in violation of the Honor Code includes: •	copying from another’s examination paper or allowing another to copy from one’s own paper
•	unpermitted collaboration
•	plagiarism (representing as one’s own work the work of another)
•	giving or receiving aid on an academic assignment under circumstances in which a reasonable person should have known that such aid was not permitted

Cheating includes but is not limited to:
 hiring someone to write a paper, buying a paper or project, or downloading a paper from the Internet
 not properly citing the works, pictures, music, video, or other forms of communication in research projects (this includes images, photos, etc. from the Internet—you must note where you got them)
 rewording someone else's words (called paraphrasing) and not giving that person credit for the ideas you have built on, therefore passing someone else's ideas off as your own.
 using artificial intelligence to brainstorm ideas for or compose responses to any assignment
 sharing files (for example, an Excel worksheet) in a class when you haven’t been given permission to do so by the instructor. This includes providing your CUSD Google account log-in information to classmates or logging in on someone else’s device without removing log-in information. It is the student’s responsibility to protect their log-in and intellectual property.
 copying someone else’s homework
 Using technology (cellphone, computers) to find answers, take pictures, share answers  letting your project partner do all the work and just putting your name on the final report  letting your parents—or anyone else—build/create your project
 helping correct work in such a way that the final score is not accurate; this can apply to your own work or someone else’s work  looking at another person’s test or sharing what is on a test with students in other sections of that class
 turning in your brother’s/sister's/friend’s/etc. old project and claiming that it is yours

Why you shouldn’t cheat: First of all, you know better. You don’t want to have to feel bad about yourself for taking credit for the work of someone else. Second, people's words, work, and ideas are considered "intellectual property,” meaning that the creator owns his/her work. The use of plagiarism not only violates school rules, but also often breaks state and federal laws. Third, if you cheat, you are not practicing skills you need to know to succeed in college or the workplace, such as how to write, analyze, form conclusions, or generate new ideas. Fourth, you can be disqualified from Honors programs on this campus, such as CSF or NHS. Finally, you will be in trouble if you get caught. The consequences for being caught cheating can range from receiving a zero on the assignment/test to getting kicked out of school (this is what happens at most colleges/universities). As a result, others will look at you as a cheater; your character and reputation will suffer.

I, the undersigned, agree to follow the Honor Code as stated above. I agree to abide by the Clovis North consequences for cheating:
 1^st Offense: Referral to Student Services for consequences and a zero on the assignment
 2^nd Offense: Referral to Student Services for consequences (suspension) and a zero on the assignment
 3^rd Offense: Referral to Student Services for consequences (possible expulsion) and a zero on the assignment I will strive to be a person of integrity and honor.
I will not cheat.
