Academic integrity encompasses five characteristics: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility. Maintaining these values means that you are committed to completing and representing your own work with integrity. This same integrity will help you build life skills that will serve you in your professional career and personal life.

Always cite your sources when using someone else’s words, thoughts, ideas, graphics or music. Understand the citation style chosen for your field/course and use it for in-text citations and at the end of your document. Make sure you submit your own work on papers, reports, projects, and tests.

Absolutely. Promoting academic integrity is an institution-wide effort; therefore, the online environment is considered the same as face-to-face learning, and the same academic honesty policies apply.

Only if it is stated by your professor to not share work/ or collaborate.
