Academic Honesty Policy

The Assessment Center will follow Santa Ana College's Academic Honesty Policy​. The Assessment Center team consistently monitors the testing room activity, and if a student is caught cheating or​ attempting to cheat, their test, as well as any notes, will be collected. The incident will be reported to the Assessment Center Coordinator, who will follow up with the students and generate an Academic Dishonesty incident report that will be shared with their instructor. The instructor is responsible for determining the outcome and/or disciplinary action.
