Academic Integrity Policy

SSM promotes honesty, fairness, and ethical academic conduct across all programs and learning activities.

Students are expected to uphold the highest standards of integrity and honesty in all academic work and assessments.

Plagiarism involves presenting another individual's work, research, ideas, or writing as one's own without proper acknowledgment.

Cheating

Cheating includes:

Unauthorized selling or purchasing of examinations, class notes, term papers, or other academic work
Stealing another student’s work
Possessing or using examinations not authorized for release
Falsification in academic work
Knowingly assisting another person to commit academic misconduct
The use of a ghostwriter is absolutely prohibited.

These acts are forbidden for graded work such as quizzes, tests, examinations, case studies, projects, or reports.

Zero grade for the piece of work.

If the student fails a module due to plagiarism or cheating, a zero grade will be given.

A re-sit examination will not be permitted.

Concerns related to academic misconduct should be reported promptly to the Dean’s Office or designated school administrators.
