What Is Academic Integrity?
Academic integrity means being honest in all your schoolwork — doing your own work, giving credit for others' ideas, and not cheating. It builds trust and ensures your learning is genuine.
Why Academic Integrity Matters
When you do your own work and give credit for others' ideas, you demonstrate real learning. Cheating or plagiarizing might get a short-term grade, but it prevents genuine learning and damages trust.
Academic Integrity:Honesty and ethical behavior in all academic work, including doing your own work and giving credit for others' ideas.
Forms of Academic Dishonesty
- Plagiarism: Using others' words or ideas without credit
- Cheating: Using unauthorized help on tests or assignments
- Fabrication: Making up data or sources
- Collusion: Working with others when individual work is required
When in Doubt, Cite
If you are unsure whether you need to give credit for something, err on the side of citing it. It is always better to give too much credit than too little.
