Abstract 

Students use both low- and high-level innovative cheating techniques when taking examinations, writing papers, with group work, or during clinical practice. Cheating occurs by taking, giving, and receiving forbidden material or information and by circumventing the process of assessment. Faculty need to detect and prevent academic dishonesty by utilizing certain deterrents. Academic integrity of the educational program will be maintained by using all resources available to develop effective policies and procedures.

Keywords: Cheating, Academic dishonesty, Academic cheating
