X. Academic and Class Conduct

Anchored on the core values of Fortitude, Excellence and Uprightness, Far Eastern University (FEU)
believes that its students, administration, faculty and staff should demonstrate academic integrity at
all times. Academic integrity means that the members of the entire academic community adhere to
the fundamental values of honesty, hard work, originality, respect and responsibility. FEU students
are expected to always adhere to the highest standards of academic excellence.

FEU students are expected to demonstrate beliefs, attitudes and behaviors associated with academic
honesty. Thus, all acts of academic dishonesty in FEU are not tolerated. Academic dishonesty
comes largely in two forms: cheating and plagiarism.

All students should support and share responsibility for the academic integrity in the FEU community,
as well as their own work. You are expected to:
o Refrain from cheating, plagiarism or other forms of academic misconduct
o Not to aid others to commit any form of academic misconduct
o Report to the Dean’s Office about any incident of academic misconduct observed

Any act of plagiarism or cheating is a disciplinary matter that can result in serious consequences,
including expulsion from the University
