CCS Academic Integrity Statement

CCS expects a full commitment to academic integrity from each CCS student. Your signature on your Enrollment Verification Form is your commitment to academic integrity as a student at CCS Online School.

Academic integrity means:

Your work on each assignment will be completely your own.

You will not use resources of any kind while testing unless otherwise instructed by a teacher.

You will not practice plagiarism in any form.

You will not misuse content from the Internet.

Plagiarism is not just an offense that occurs when you have copied another writer’s exact words and called it your own; it is also an offense when you have closely imitated another writer. This means that you should always read the source, then put the material into your own words—with no more than 5 consecutive words directly from the source.

Please be aware that all CCS instructors utilize a myriad of technologies to check student work for authenticity. If an instructor confirms that a student has plagiarized work in any manner, the student will be subject to consequences determined by CCS administration and may be removed from the course with a failing grade.
