Academic integrity is expected of all students.  This means that all work being submitted for a student's grade is that student's own work and not the work of others.  This includes answers to test items, written assignments, oral presentations, etc.  Academic dishonesty such as cheating on exams, written work, oral presentations, and course assignments violates the very heart of the nature of the University as a Christian Liberal Arts Institution. It is the responsibility of all students, faculty and staff to demonstrate academic integrity.

The Academic Skills Center of Dartmouth College has prepared the following Ten Steps to Academic Success:

1. Set individual academic and personal goals.
2. Choose courses carefully, especially during your first year.
3. Know and use resources.
4. Meet and get to know the faculty.
5. Learn actively.
6. Manage your time well.
7. Know and actively use reading skills.
8. Develop strong listening and note-taking skills.
9. Develop and improve your writing and speaking skills.
10. Get involved in co-curricular activities; learn skills and gain experience.
