Academic Integrity involves you being open and honest and taking personal responsibility for your work. Academic Integrity includes:

• Citing and referencing so you avoid plagiarism and presenting other people's work as your own.
• Not cheating. For example, using notes in an exam, or copying from another student's work,
• Not falsifying information, findings, observations or results,
• Not colluding with others. For example, letting your work be copied by another student,
• Using information appropriately, this includes respecting Copyright as well as other people's privacy, and
• Working ethically.

Academic Integrity also supports our School's values. In particular:

• Integrity - Act in accordance with principles of moral and ethical conduct, ensure consistency between words and deeds. 
• Honesty and Trustworthiness - Be honest, sincere and seek the truth. 
• Responsibility - Be accountable for one’s own actions.

The International Center for Academic Integrity (ICAI) defines academic integrity as 'a commitment to six fundamental values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility, and courage'. (ICAI, n.d.)
