Academic Integrity: The Do’s & Don’ts

Overview The concept of academic integrity, to pursue one’s education in an honest and responsible manner, lies at the very heart of any college, and the lack of academic integrity can have significant consequences for students and can impact the campus and the community. Thus, it is imperative that the concept be fully understood in terms of its definition, who it hurts, and why we should care. Academic dishonesty can take different forms, including cheating, plagiarism, and computer abuse, but it has many other forms as well.

It is designed to help students learn about academic dishonesty in various forms, how to improve time management, and how to seek out campus resources so students can make better choices with regards to academic integrity.
