As per the honor code, “Cheating is the deliberate submission of work for a grade or credit that is not one’s
own…”. Cheating encompasses “copying answers from a fellow student during a test”, “the use of unauthorized
notes or tapes during testing”, or “obtaining or giving unauthorized information about the content of a test.” Also, the Honor Code charges each VWU student with the task of alerting the Learning Center staff about another student observed violating the Honor Code.
To maintain an environment of academic integrity the Testing Center uses proctors, regular walkthroughs, 24/7 audio/video recording at each desk, and screen monitoring computer surveillance on each computer.
