The Code of Academic Integrity at
Seaver College is an integral part of the educational process. It
makes possible an atmosphere conducive to the development of the
total person through learning experiences. Since a person is more
than intellect, learning is more than academic achievement. It
includes achievement in all the qualities of an individual
-intellectual, spiritual, ethical, emotional, and physical.
Seaver's Code of Academic Integrity provides among students,
faculty members, and the administration a spirit of community where
such development can take place. Furthermore, it creates a climate of
mutual trust, respect, and interpersonal concern, where openness and
integrity prevail.
This Code of Academic Integrity will enrich the educational
process at Seaver College and encourage the development of a "Seaver
spirit." This will lead to a pervasive sense of pride for and loyalty
to Seaver's high standards of academic ethics, personal honesty, and
spiritual values which imbue Seaver College as part of a Christian
university.
The code emphasizes the dignity and development of each
individual. The code maintains free competition and independent
intellectual effort, not tolerating dishonesty, cheating, or
plagiarism in any form. If intentional acts of dishonorable conduct
occur, the code outlines infractions and clear-cut procedures as well
as sanctions to censure such activity.
But, to be effective, the code must be maintained by the
community. This requires a genuine sense of maturity, responsibility,
and sensitivity on the part of every member. In particular, each
member of the Seaver College community is expected to pursue his or
her academic work with honesty and integrity.
