Why Academic Integrity Matters

It matters to you

Academic integrity entails producing your own work with the correct recognition of others’ work. The time and effort you invest in earning a degree in the most ethical way will form the foundation of your work ethic in the professional world.
By embracing academic integrity principles, you will not only avoid failing an assignment, but also increase your chances of academic success and recognition with your honest attitude. In doing so, you will facilitate an environment in which the interests of your peers are protected.
