2024-2025 Student Exam and Grading Guide

EXAMINATION INFORMATION

Academic Integrity Any violation of academic integrity shall be viewed as a serious infraction of the Rules and Regulations of the Law School. Violations of academic integrity shall include, but are not limited to, dishonesty in the examination process and plagiarism in written work. Plagiarism is the representation of the language, ideas or format of another as one’s own in any writing submitted for academic purposes. Use of the work of another without proper attribution constitutes plagiarism whether or not the writer acts with intent to mislead or deceive. However, such intent, or the lack of it, may be considered in determining the proper sanction if a violation is established. The presumptive sanction for a deliberate act of plagiarism is suspension or dismissal from the Law School. Please ensure that you have read the Academic Integrity regulations (II.F). Students are responsible for compliance with these requirements. The regulations apply to all work submitted by a student for any course or school-related activity.

To ensure academic integrity, students are required to sign the following statement at the end of each exam:

I hereby certify that the entirety of this examination is my own work and that I have complied with all applicable exam regulations and the Academic Integrity Policy. I confirm that I have not given aid to or received aid from others, nor used ideas or phrasing suggested by technology (e.g., artificial intelligence), except for spelling and grammatical corrections, or as expressly authorized in writing by the course instructor.

Students with remote or take-home exams must electronically sign and submit the academic integrity statement within two hours of completing the examination.
