What is academic integrity? As members of an academic community, students and faculty have the responsibility to foster and maintain Academic Honesty. Academic dishonesty is a serious violation of the trust upon which an academic community depends. Academic integrity means that all work you submit is created by you and is an original representation of your work. It means that what you submit as your work is your work.
