Pledge of Academic Honesty

Commitment to Personal Integrity

I hereby affirm that all academic work submitted for this course, as well as any other courses I undertake, will be solely my own. I pledge to be the exclusive creator of all assignments, ensuring that they reflect my original ideas and efforts. Unless I explicitly acknowledge, paraphrase, or summarize the contributions of others, all written content will be entirely authentic and free from external sources.

Understanding of Peer Contributions

I understand that using any portion of a peer’s discussion post without proper acknowledgment constitutes academic dishonesty. Additionally, I recognize that simply making minor changes to a peer’s work without sufficient rephrasing constitutes an act of academic deceit.

Responsibility to Uphold Integrity

I pledge to promptly inform my instructor if I observe any instance where another student has misrepresented my work or that of others. I am aware that maintaining academic standards is a shared responsibility for all Capella University students.

Guidelines for Academic Work

Citing and Paraphrasing Practices

When directly quoting a source, I will place the text within quotation marks, offer context for the citation, and follow APA formatting rules for in-text citations and complete references. In cases where paraphrasing or summarizing is required, I will rephrase the content using unique vocabulary and sentence structure, ensuring that proper citation is included both in-text and at the end of my work.

Utilization of Academic Integrity Resources

I will thoroughly review recommended resources on academic integrity, which include:

• Academic Honesty & APA Style and Organization
• University Policy 3.01.01: Academic Integrity and Honesty [PDF]
• Upholding Academic Integrity
• Preventing Plagiarism

Consequences of Violating Academic Standards

Consequences for Academic Dishonesty

I acknowledge that any violation of the aforementioned standards is considered plagiarism, a serious breach of Capella University’s policies on academic integrity. If an instructor identifies an instance of academic dishonesty, they will:

1. Contact me directly to discuss the alleged violation.
2. Provide an opportunity for me to respond and address the accusation.
3. Impose consequences, which may include a zero on the assignment, a failing grade for the course, and other penalties as deemed appropriate.
4. Report the violation to Capella University following official protocols.
