Academic Integrity:
“Integrity” means completeness, wholeness. Nothing required is missing.
“Integrity” also refers to honesty, sincerity, trustworthiness, and lack of corruption. When instructors and professors assign work to students, they expect their students to be fair and honest in their work. They expect students to rely on themselves to complete the requirements for their courses. Academic integrity refers to any academic assignments – papers, tests, group projects, labs, case studies, math and science problems and exercises – completed honestly according to instructors’ requirements. Students who adhere to academic integrity send a message to their instructors, their colleagues/fellow students, and themselves: anyone can trust that the work I submit for a course is legitimately and authentically mine.
It is common to limit academic integrity to plagiarism. In fact, academic integrity is violated any time students cheat on any assignment. This LibGuide provides links to information about academic integrity: specific examples, how to recognize it, and how to work honestly to avoid it.
