Can a student get in trouble even if he/she does not copy answers or benefit directly from the situation?
Yes, letting another student copy from one’s test or failing to cover one’s work is a violation of the Code of Academic Conduct, because such behaviors facilitate the cheating, disturb other students, and create suspicion and unfairness. Similarly, talking during an exam – even if only to borrow a pencil or to compare answers with a friend after both have turned in their exam papers – makes it difficult for others to concentrate and could provide information that may be overheard and used by those who are still taking the exam. Further, leaving notes or other unauthorized materials visible (even if the student doesn’t look at or use the materials him/herself to answer the test questions) contaminates the testing environment, causing distrust and disruption, and making it possible that others may see and be tempted to use the notes.
