It is the student's responsibility to be familiar with the University of Georgia's
policy on academic honesty as published in the booklet
"A Culture of Honesty:  Policies and Procedures on Academic Honesty".  Evidence of
academic dishonesty will be turned over to the Office
of the Vice President for Academic Affairs for consideration and possible action. 
The minimum penalty for a student found guilty of 
academic dishonesty is a grade of "F" in the course and a note on the student's
transcript.   There have been several recent changes in the
academic honesty policy at UGA.  This information is available on-line at

Honesty Policy statement.
