What is Academic Integrity?
Having academic integrity means acting fairly and honestly when engaging in academic activities. This includes, but is not limited to, tests, assignments, work-integrated learning, and research. In other words, anything for which you receive a grade or a credit.
Every academic activity has rules and expectations. An Academic Integrity Violation (AIV) is what happens when you don't follow these rules. Using this site, you can build the skills you need to maintain integrity and AIVs.
