Academic Integrity and Honesty
Students are required to maintain high standards of academic integrity at all times. They must access all necessary course materials. If materials are available in different formats, students should choose the format that best suits their technology setup. If administrators, staff, or faculty find that a student is not accessing the required course materials and therefore not engaging with the essential content, the student may face academic consequences and further investigation.

Each student is allowed only one student account. It is the student’s responsibility to keep their account secure by logging out after completing coursework and keeping their password confidential. Students must not share their account access with others. If a student cannot access their account for any reason, they should contact the Help Desk at

Plagiarism:
What is plagiarism?
Plagiarism involves using another person's words or ideas without citing the source, giving the false impression that they are your own.

What are some examples of plagiarism?
1. Submitting a paper written by someone else while claiming authorship.
2. Copying and pasting content from the Internet into your paper without citing the source and presenting it as your own writing.
3. Taking sentences or paragraphs from a book or article without using quotation marks or crediting the author.
4. Summarizing or paraphrasing large sections from a source without acknowledging it in your paper.

Why is plagiarism wrong?
Plagiarism is a form of theft and dishonesty. It goes against Christian ethical principles, violates accepted academic standards, and is illegal under the law.

How Do we handle plagiarism?
1. Any assignment found to contain plagiarism will automatically receive a failing grade.
2. If the student wants to appeal the failing grade, they may contact the Registrar. If the Registrar concludes that the plagiarism was unintentional and minor, the student might be allowed to redo the assignment for a grade.
3. If the Registrar determines the plagiarism was deliberate and involved a significant amount of material, the student will fail both the assignment and the course. The Registrar may also revoke the student's scholarship.
4. A second serious plagiarism offense typically results in loss of all scholarships and expulsion from Christian Leaders College and Institute. In rare cases, the Registrar may reduce this penalty. However, repeated plagiarism is considered a serious violation of Christian conduct and academic integrity, indicating the student is not mature or trustworthy enough to be trained for leadership in God's church.
5. If plagiarism is discovered after a student has completed a class or earned a certificate, diploma, or degree from Christian Leaders College or Christian Leaders Institute, the course credit may be revoked and the credentials withdrawn.
