      • Students will not commit plagiarism on any exam or assignment.
      • Students will not submit an exam or assignment written, developed or prepared by another person, entirely or in pieces without proper and honest referencing.
      • Students will not prevent or interfere with the learning process of others in the environment.
      • Students will not damage any SBS property.
      • Students respect SBS technology and infrastructure, as well as the green educational environment.
