Academic Integrity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Academic integrity<\/strong> means being honest and responsible in your studies and acknowledging the work of others. It’s about doing your best work and taking pride in your achievements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Academic Integrity is a commitment, even in the face of adversity, to six fundamental values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility, and courage. (International Center for Academic Integrity<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Academic Dishonesty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Academic dishonesty<\/strong>, on the other hand, includes behaviors like cheating and plagiarism. Cheating might involve using unauthorized materials during a test, while plagiarism means presenting someone else’s work or ideas as your own without proper credit. These actions can have serious consequences, but more importantly, they prevent you from truly learning and growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many forms of academic dishonesty. By knowing what to watch out for, you can make sure you’re always acting with integrity. Here are some common types of academic dishonesty. A complete list of types and definitions are available in this document, Palomar District Administrative Procedures AP 5505<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
