established procedure, to be detrimental to the interests of the university
community, that person may be required to withdraw from the university.

Academic Integrity
The University of Maryland is an academic community dedicated to teaching,
learning, and research. Like other communities, the University can function
properly only if its members share an expectation of intellectual honesty.
Academic integrity promotes the development and expression of new ideas,
while academic dishonesty acts as a corrosive force in the life of the
university. Academic integrity enhances the quality of each student's education
and allows for the recognition of the genuine achievements and accomplishments
of all.
By enrolling at the University of Maryland, students acknowledge their
obligation to adhere to the Code of Academic Integrity. As members of the
University community, students are responsible for promoting academic integrity.
This includes the responsibilities to report cases of academic dishonesty
to the Student Honor Council and to cooperate with faculty and the Council
in resolving such cases.
