Academic Integrity for Students

Every student is expected to maintain a high standard of academic integrity by ensuring that all academic work reflects unique ideas or properly attributes the ideas to the original sources.

These are some basic expectations of students with regards to academic integrity:

  • Any work submitted should be your own individual thoughts, and should not have been submitted for credit in another course unless you have prior written permission to re-use it in this course from this instructor.

  • All assignments must use "proper attribution," meaning that you have identified the original source and extent or words or ideas that you reproduce or use in your assignment. This includes drafts and homework assignments!

  • If you are unclear about expectations, ask your instructor or GSI.

  • Do not collaborate or work with other students on assignments or projects unless you have been given permission or instruction to do so.
