Academic Integrity
Both the University Bulletin and the Student Handbook outline the University’s expectations that all members of the University community are expected to be honest in their academic endeavors. Engaging in any form of academic dishonesty or other acts generally understood to be dishonest by faculty or students in an academic context subjects a student to academic and judicial action. For the full text of the academic integrity protocol, go to the Provost’s website at www.scu.edu/provost/ and look for the link to Academic Policies and Procedures.
What is Academic Integrity?
Academic integrity is applying honesty and responsibility while learning and broadening your knowledge in higher education. These two important ethical values assist in abiding by a code of academic values towards learning. Academic integrity is essential in establishing good study habits and researching skills enabling you to develop and convey your own ideas. Your own ideas effectively mean respecting others’ intellectual property, thus trusting that you are submitting your own personal work. It involves regulating your own behavior without requiring the professor’s close supervision. In essence, academic integrity entails being aware of your own decisions and accepting both positive and negative outcomes that may arise as a result of your actions.
