Expectations for Academic Integrity at UMD

At the University of Maryland, we adhere to a Code of Academic Integrity. This Code defines what constitutes "academic dishonesty," or violations of the University's expectations for academic integrity. The Office of Student Conduct deals with allegations of misconduct, and also provides resources for students and instructors on understanding the Code and proactively preventing violations.
