Indiana University and the Kelley School expect students to follow the fundamental principles of academic integrity in the pursuit of learning. Academic integrity requires that students take credit only for ideas and efforts that are their own. Violation of these principles is considered an act of misconduct.

Academic integrity is defined in the online IU Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct. The penalties and procedures that apply when academic misconduct occurs are stated in the code. The policy on academic misconduct is also printed, each semester, in the online Enrollment and Student Academic Information Bulletin.

The Kelley School strictly follows the guidelines stated in the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct. In addition, the school may also consider it appropriate to remove the student from the course involved and to assign a grade of F.
