Academic Integrity

The Department of Computer Science strictly adheres to the Rutgers University Policy on Academic Integrity, as described in the Rutgers University New Brunswick Undergraduate Catalog. Students enrolled in Department of Computer Science courses are advised that all allegations of academic dishonesty will be fully investigated and any evidence of academic dishonesty will be reported to the Dean's Office for appropriate action.

With regard to software applications assignments and programming assignments, it is a violation of academic integrity to copy someone else's work or to permit another person to copy your work. While you may discuss programming and software assignments with other students at a general level, all coding, debugging, preparation, refinement, and testing of assignments should be entirely your own work. Just as copying or collaborating on an examination is dishonest, turning in a program or software applications assignment which is a clone of someone else's work is also dishonest.
