What is cheating? Cheating comes in many forms; in this culture, cheating is unacceptable in any situation. Be sure that you read the IELI Student Handbook so that you will know and understand the policy on cheating. Some examples of cheating are: Copying someone else's homework Allowing someone to copy your homework Looking at someone else's paper during a test or quiz Allowing someone to look at your paper during a test or quiz Looking in your books during a test or quiz Copying information from the internet and using that information in your work If you have any questions about cheating, please talk to your instructor!

D. Consequences of Cheating
What happens if you cheat? During your final exams this term and for all future exams, your instructors will have yellow cards and red cards. If your instructor gives you a yellow card, it is a warning about cheating; you should be very careful to keep your eyes on your own paper and to do your own work. If your instructor gives you a red card, you will receive a zero for the exam and you could be eligible for dismissal. What do you need to remember? Dont cheat! Be sure to do your own work so that you can learn and improve your language skills. You can do it! If you have any questions about this system, talk to your instructor!
