What is Academic Integrity?
Academic Integrity is the attitude and behaviour you bring to your university studies that demonstrate “honest scholarship” (Zoll, 1996, p.7) -- your commitment to earning your degree by your own honest effort. Examples of Academic Integrity include:
- Submitting your own work in exams, tests and assignments
- Giving credit to others, whose words or ideas you have used as the basis of your own work, by citing them
- Using only UTSC-approved student support services – you are already paying for them!
