All academic work must meet the standards contained in A Culture of Honesty. All students are responsible to inform themselves about those standards before performing any academic work. Academic honesty means performing all academic work without plagiarism, cheating, lying, tampering, stealing, receiving unauthorized or illegitimate assistance from any other person, or using any source of information that is not common knowledge. 
Every student who enrolls at UGA agrees to be bound by the UGA Student Honor Code. This means that each student has a responsibility to read and comply with the policy. It is no defense to a charge of academic dishonesty to say "I didn't know that was prohibited." A full version of A Culture of Honesty may be found at http://www.uga.edu/ovpi.
