ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
As a Christian community of scholarship, we at Lee University are committed to the
principles of truth and honesty in the academic endeavor. As faculty and students in
this Christian community, we are called to present our academic work as an honest
reflection of our abilities; we do not need to defraud members of the community by
presenting others’ work as our own. Therefore, academic dishonesty is handled with
serious consequences for two fundamental reasons: it is stealing – taking something
that is not ours; it is also lying – pretending to be something it is not. In a Christian
community, such pretense is not only unnecessary, it is also harmful to the individual
and community as a whole. Cheating should have no place at a campus where Christ
is King because God desires us to be truthful with each other concerning our academic
abilities. Only with a truthful presentation of our knowledge can there be an honest
evaluation of our abilities. To such integrity, we as a Christian academic community are
called.
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITES
Lee University is committed to the provision of reasonable accommodations for
students with disabilities, as defined in Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
Students who think they may qualify for these accommodations should notify their
instructor immediately. Special services are provided through the Academic Support
Program.
