• LISD Virtual Learning Academy’s Academic Honesty Guidelines:

    General Statements Regarding Academic Honesty:

    Any misconduct in the realm of academic honesty will trigger a student-teacher interaction and will then be deferred to the student’s individual campus for the execution of disciplinary procedures.

    • Any coursework (including, but not limited to, forums, formative/summative assessments, daily work, etc.) may be subject to a plagiarism checker
      Examples of Academic Dishonesty: Cheating, Misrepresentation, and Plagiarism
    • Cheating: includes copying another’s work or allowing another to copy your work, possession of exam or exam materials.
    • Misrepresentation and/or Fraudulent Behavior: includes allowing someone else or an automated process to do the work for you (ex: Wolfram Alpha, Photomath, online language translators, ChatGPT/OpenAI), or doing someone else’s coursework.
    • Plagiarism: includes cutting and pasting from a non-peer source, and attempting to present that source’s work as your own


    Consequences for Academic Dishonesty
