Plagiarism Policy at AHS

Academic dishonesty is not acceptable. Cheating, defined as copying another student’s work and claiming it is your own. Plagiarism is defined as using another person’s original ideas or writing without giving credit to the true author. Both are prohibited practices at Augusta High School. Materials taken from electronic sources are covered by this policy.  A student who engages in any form of academic dishonesty will be subject to the loss of credit for the work in question, as well as, other disciplinary measures up to and including suspension or expulsion.

AHS Library Policy states that students who don't have their district issued Chromebook will be allowed to check out a loaner up to three times per semester.  All students have been informed of this policy and will be required to if a device is forgotten.  If a student has their Chromebook, but it's not charged, the above mentioned policy still applies for three times per semester.  Students can purchase a charger in the main office for $30.00.  

This AHS Library Policy does not apply towards Chromebooks that need Work Order assistance.
