Academic Integrity and You

Academic integrity means academic honesty. Integrity matters. There are no shortcuts to a college education. You are responsible for completing your studies in an open, honest, and responsible manner.

Completing your studies with integrity means you are putting in the effort to do your school work and showing yourself, your professors, those you care about, your community, and your future employer that you have earned your credential.

You are:

  • taking responsibility for your actions and being proud of the work you have done
  • showing respect for existing knowledge, the ideas of others and the knowledge you have gained
  • protecting the trust in your profession and the credential you earn
  • strengthening your own reputation
