Academic Integrity is essential to an educational college and to the whole educational experience. Individual students, faculty, and staff members, as well as the college’s organizations, must affirm this quality. The importance of integrity and ethics will be portrayed by faculty in their course instruction and will be an integral part of college life at PIC. The Academic Integrity Policy requires that all members of the college conduct themselves honestly in all endeavors. Therefore, cheating, plagiarism and other acts contrary to academic integrity are unacceptable and will not be tolerated at PIC. The college will take severe action against dishonest students, faculty, staff, and administrators.
