Academic Honesty and Dishonesty

Nursing students are expected to conform to a strict standard of academic honesty. In addition to the Bowie State
University Undergraduate Catalog, academic dishonesty includes exhibiting unethical or illegal behaviors including
falsification of documents. Students are required to sign the Academic Honesty and Dishonesty form, which is placed in
the student’s academic folder in the Nursing Department. Students will be recommended for dismissal from the nursing
program when academic dishonesty is confirmed. The Plagiarism checker is used for all written assignments submitted
to the Safe Assign or Turnitin instruments. Please refer to the BSU Undergraduate Catalog for additional policies about
academic dishonesty and the department of nursing handbook.
