Year One of Program

Academic integrity 
 

"Academic integrity means acting with the values of honesty, trust, fairness, respect and responsibility in learning, teaching and research." In practical terms, it means developing, and submitting for assessment, your own academic work. 
 

The repercussions for breaking the rules – even accidentally – are serious, from failing an assessment to charges of academic misconduct and exclusion from a program. 
 

Please read the Introduction to Academic Integrity Tutorial and complete the Academic Integrity Awareness Digital Credential before you begin your program.
