Integrity

Academic Integrity Online courses demand the same level of academic integrity as in-school courses. Please note the following:

Academic integrity is founded upon and encompasses the following five values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility. Supporting and affirming these values is essential to promoting and maintaining a high level of academic integrity.1 Academic violations include plagiarism, cheating, misrepresentation, academic interference, unauthorized access, and facilitation.2

Any work that you represent as your own should, in fact, be your own. It is both encouraged and expected that you will collaborate with other students in the course of learning the material, but when it comes to assessments, regardless of their form, it is expected that you will do them on your own; that you will neither seek nor accept from other people, nor offer to other students, any help.
