Student misconduct not only includes cheating on tests, but also extends to copying or collaborating on programming assignments, projects, lab work or researchunless otherwise specified by the instructor. Using other people's accounts to do your work or having others do your work is prohibited. Close proximity in lab does not mean sharing solutions.
