Academic Integrity
What is Academic Integrity?
Academic Integrity is a fundamental part of a student’s experience in university and academia. Academic integrity is a part of personal integrity – and asks students to ensure that they are upholding the values of fairness, honesty, respect, responsibility, trust, and courage in their academic work. Learning how to express original ideas, cite sources, work independently, and report results accurately and honestly are skills that carry you beyond your university experience to serve you in the workforce.
