Cheating on college campuses is a widespread practice, and believe it or not, the majority of students think cheating is OK— until they get caught. But if you’re caught and found responsible for cheating on a college campus, the consequences can be far-reaching.

In our technology-driven world, colleges that accuse students of cheating on exams or other relevant tasks may claim that you used an electronic source you shouldn’t have when completing your test or another assignment.

The most common forms of college cheating are plagiarizing work from another source via the internet and using information from a smartphone to cheat during class.
