Priory Academic Integrity Policies and Consequences

Priory students are expected to adhere to the following guidelines regarding cheating and plagiarism. Students who are unclear about what constitutes cheating or plagiarism should discuss it with a teacher or advisor. Infractions of the Academic Integrity guidelines are cumulative for a student's Middle School years and separately cumulative through a student's High School years at the Priory.
