All students, by their enrollment at Piedmont College, commit to the Honor Pledge: 

The Piedmont College community emphasizes high ethical standards for its members. Accordingly, I promise to refrain from acts of academic dishonesty, including plagiarism, and to uphold the Academic Integrity Policy in all endeavors at Piedmont College.

  • Fabrication — intentional and unauthorized invention or falsification of any information or citation in an academic exercise or altering official college records or documents.
  • Facilitating academic dishonesty — intentionally or knowingly helping or attempting to help another to commit an act of academic dishonesty.
  • Plagiarism — intentionally or knowingly representing the words or ideas of another as one’s own in any academic exercise.

 Academic Integrity and The Library

It's very important that all members of the Piedmont College community be aware of and support the provisions of the Honor Pledge and the Academic Integrity Policy.  The Libraries of Piedmont College affirm and practice academic integrity in all our endeavors.

We can also assist students and faculty in understanding the Academic Integrity Policy and how to apply citation and reference styles appropriately.  We can help users understand when citations are needed, especially in the case of summaries or paraphrases of quotations.  Please call on any member of the staff for assistance.
