Learn about academic integrity and avoid plagiarism
As institutions of higher education, our schools are committed to initiating, promoting and developing academic integrity among all students.
Academic integrity is a set of values and ethical principles that govern student behaviour in the context of their academic activities. It involves respect for truth, honesty, transparency and responsibility in the production and dissemination of knowledge. Academic integrity is demonstrated by the absence of plagiarism, the correct citation of sources, and the acknowledgement of others' contributions. By adhering to these principles and learning about good citation practices, you help maintain the credibility and integrity of your work.
Academic dishonesty constitutes a fundamental breach of academic obligations and will result in educational measures and sanctions.
