Academic Dishonesty 

Academic dishonesty is contrary to the philosophy of St. Vincent School. Academic Dishonesty can be a cause for suspension, probation, or dismissal from school. The school interprets cheating as follows, though not limited to the following: 

  • Copying assignments or allowing another student to copy assignments in or out of class 

  • Giving or receiving answers to quizzes, tests and examinations 

  • Looking at another’s paper or allowing another to look at one’s paper 

  • Plagiarism 

  • Doing another person’s work or allowing another to do one’s work 


When a student is involved in a cheating incident, the teacher takes the following actions: 

  • Assigns a failing grade to the test, quiz, or assignment 

  • Calls parents 

  • Issues a conduct referral 

  • Hands the matter over to the principal
