The University has a duty to ensure that all assessments are conducted fairly and that students are assessed on their own efforts. To that end, it upholds the following fundamental values that underpin academic integrity. These are: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.
As a student, academic integrity is an essential part of your studies, and of your professional development. It requires that:
- You are honest about how your work has been created; you acknowledge what is your own work, and where ideas and contributions have come from others.
- Others trust that your work is your own.
- Collaboration with others in producing the work is appropriately attributed.
- All of your findings, conclusions or data are based on ethical practice, and come from well-conducted research.
- You understand the principles of academic integrity and apply them to your work.
- You act fairly and are respectful of the academic community.
