All members of the Penn State Great Valley community are expected to accept responsibility for the integrity and basic honesty of their academic work including coursework, research and other scholarly activities. Students are therefore responsible for understanding and observing the university’s academic integrity policy. Students are also expected to understand and maintain standards of integrity and professional conduct endorsed by their program that are particular to their field of study and research.
As part of Penn State Commonwealth campuses, the Great Valley School of Graduate Professional Studies follows the Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure as described and section G-9 of the University's Academic Integrity Academic Administrative Policies and Procedures Manual. Although these guidelines are targeted for undergraduate students, they apply equally to graduate students until the University develops guidelines specific to graduate students. Information specific to the application of “XF” grades and their administration can be found under the G-9 policy.
