ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY
The administration and faculty of the Jefferson College of Nursing believe that academic
integrity is one of the most important values and behaviors that should be practiced by
students during their academic and clinical education. Integrity and honesty are especially
valued in the healthcare professions because accurate diagnosis and treatment of patients are
greatly dependent upon a health practitioner’s honest and capable assessment of symptoms
and diagnostic tests. This assessment can be rendered only by the practitioner who has “real”
knowledge obtained as a student who answered examination questions independently, thereby
identifying and correcting mistakes. The successful practitioner can communicate important
diagnostic and therapeutic information in writing because as a student, such skills were
developed and/or enhanced by completing writing assignments independently. The practitioner
who was dishonest in his or her educational pursuits is at great risk for making diagnostic and
therapeutic mistakes and such errors can mean that someone’s health care is mismanaged.
Because we are committed to educating practitioners who provide the highest quality of health
care, the school administration and faculty are equally committed to mandating and enforcing
the practice of academic integrity by all students. The following policy on academic integrity
defines dishonesty and describes the procedures for responding to charges of academic
dishonesty in the school, as well as the electronic-based examination policy.
As per the Forms of Academic Dishonesty Policy and the Electronic-based Examination Policy for Students in the student handbook.
