What is academic honesty?

Academic honesty means that you will do your own work independently, including tests, homework, and papers, unless you are told otherwise by your teacher. LCC students come from many countries around the world and academic honesty standards may be different in your country and culture.

Your teachers will talk to you about academic honesty during the term. If you do not follow academic honesty guidelines, you may face disciplinary action. This action can include probation, failing the class and unsatisfactory status for the term, or suspension from the LCC.

You must also obey all the rules and regulations for University of Houston (UH) students. Please see the UH Student Handbook’s section on academic honesty.
