POLICY ON ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

Anchored on the core values of Fortitude, Excellence and Uprightness, Far Eastern
University (FEU) believes that its students, administration, faculty and staff should
demonstrate academic integrity at all times. Academic integrity means that the
members of the entire academic community adhere to the fundamental values of
honesty, hard work, originality, respect and responsibility. FEU students are
expected to always adhere to the highest standards of academic excellence.
FEU students are expected to demonstrate beliefs, attitudes and behaviors
associated with academic honesty. Thus, all acts of academic dishonesty in FEU
are not tolerated. Academic dishonesty comes largely in two forms: cheating and
plagiarism. It is considered a major offense subject to disciplinary actions if
students cheat or plagiarize their work.
Cheating is broadly defined as getting unauthorized help on an assignment, quiz
or examination. The following are considered as acts of cheating:
Copying from another student during a test or examination, with or without
his/her knowledge;
Allowing another student to copy his/her work;
Using unpermitted notes during a test or examination;
Having in ones possession written notes or electronic devices during a test
or examination;
Getting questions or answers from someone else who has already taken a
test or examination;
Turning in work done by someone else;
Taking a test or examination for another student;
Writing or providing an assignment for another student.
Plagiarism is another form of academic dishonesty. All FEU students are
expected to turn in work that is a product of their own efforts, study and research.
Thus, copying work of others (in whole or in part) and claiming it as ones own is
considered an act of plagiarism. A work is also plagiarized if the student did not
properly cite or acknowledge the sources or references for his/her work. One must
remember that plagiarism is identified not through intent but through the act
itself. The following are considered acts of plagiarism:
Repeating someone elses words verbatim without acknowledgement;
Presenting someone elses ideas without acknowledgement;
Paraphrasing, translating, or summarizing someone elses ideas without
acknowledgement;
Improperly acknowledging of sources, as with incomplete/imprecise
documentation;
Having ones work done by someone else or having ones work substantially
revised by someone else.
POLICY ON NON-SOLICITATION OF FUNDS

All official fees of the University are collected through the Cash Department.
Students should not pay any additional fees such as those for tickets, entrance
fees, transportation fees, hand-outs, readings, quizzes or tests to any faculty or
staff member of the University.
