Policy on Academic Integrity

The Policy on Academic Integrity outlines the school’s expectations and standards for honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility in all academic activities and assignments. The policy may cover topics such as plagiarism, cheating, falsification, or other forms of academic misconduct, and the consequences for engaging in such behavior. It may also address issues related to the use of technology, such as online research, collaboration, or submission of work. The policy may include information about the school’s efforts to promote a culture of integrity and to provide education and support for students in understanding and upholding academic standards. It may also include procedures for reporting and investigating suspected violations, and for providing due process and opportunities for appeal. The purpose of the Policy on Academic Integrity is to maintain the credibility and value of academic degrees and credentials, to foster ethical behavior and personal responsibility, and to prepare students for the rigors and expectations of higher education and the workforce.
