NYFA expects all students to be responsible individuals who insist on high standards of honesty, personal conduct and creative integrity. Academic dishonesty includes cheating, plagiarism, and/or anything that gains an unfair academic advantage.
All assignments and exams must represent the student’s own work, and all quotes and other external sources used in research papers must be properly cited. Incidences of academic dishonesty, as described in the Student Code of Conduct, are considered serious offenses and may be subject to disciplinary action through the procedures described in the Student Code of Conduct.
Academic dishonesty violations may receive academic penalties from instructors, including but not limited to a zero on the assignment or failing the course, and may include disciplinary outcomes such as suspension or expulsion.
Academic honesty extends to all school projects, productions and exercises, both on and off the NYFA campus. Students must maintain a high standard of honesty in declarations and descriptions of these projects to faculty, administration and staff, as well as other agencies and vendors.
