Exam Integrity
Students receiving testing accommodations, whether through OSD or directly from the instructor, have the responsibility of honest‚ ethical test-taking behavior and maintaining the integrity of the test.
Cheating will not be tolerated. If the exam is taken with OSD, proctors will report any suspicious behaviors by completing an incident report that will be provided to the faculty for that class. Disciplinary action will be at the discretion of the faculty.
