Maintaining academic integrity in the classroom can be challenging, especially when you are doing it by yourself. Why not get your students involved in the process? Please find the attached worksheet which goes through the steps of intervention, prevention, and follow-up.
As part of your academic journey, developing your research skills is essential for locating credible, reliable, and authoritative information for your assignments. Here are some videos to help you get started:
Citing the works used in an assignment is an essential skill for upholding academic integrity. It serves to give credit to the original authors of the sources. This applies whether you are summarizing or directly quoting someone’s ideas. Here is our guide to assist you.
Academic integrity is the commitment to the values of honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility, and courage (ICAI, 2021). As a student, maintaining a commitment to all these values is not only important as a student but will be valuable in your career. Loyalist College believes in these six fundamental values and honours the seven grandfather teachings of respect, wisdom, love, bravery, humility, honesty, and truth, which provide a foundation for a student’s personal responsibility related to academic integrity (Maracle, 2020).
An academic misconduct is defined as trying to obtain an unfair advantage for academic work for oneself or others by being dishonest. This act can be willful or unknowingly and the consequences can vary from minor or severe.
Gaining an unfair advantage or cheating involves trying to obtain or helping another person get credit for work on a test, exam or assignment by dishonest behaviours.
Examples:
- Accessing or possessing unauthorized materials, unauthorized information, or devices during assessments.
- Obtaining an assessment, in whole or in part, in advance of its administration, without the permission of the professor.
- Changing grades or answers on an assignment for the purpose of regrading.
- Failing to abide by the instructions of the professor or proctor concerning assessment procedures, such as, but not limited to, talking, or failing to adhere to start/stop times.
- Using an artificial intelligence tool (e.g.; ChatGPT) for an assignment without the instructor’s permission.
The uncredited use of sources or plagiarism involves two things:
1) presenting all or part of the machine-generated content or someone else’s work as one’s own and
2) failing to cite them. This could apply to words, ideas, music, signatures and more from all sources.
Examples:
- Copying in part or in whole from a source and not citing the source.
- Resubmitting part or whole past assignments to another course.
Tips on Avoiding Uncredited Use of Sources

Data misrepresentation or falsification involves altering, withholding, or forging documentation, e.g., medical records, correspondence, academic documents, research results or sources to gain an academic advantage.
Examples:
- Submitting false, fraudulent, or purchased assignments, research or credentials.
- Taking or releasing, without permission, the ideas or data of others that were shared with the expectation that they were confidential.
- Falsifying, altering, withholding, or concocting medical records, compassionate documents, correspondence, academic documents, research results, references, or research sources.
- Forging or using College documents, records, or instruments of identification with intent to defraud.
Unauthorized collaboration or collusion is a secret cooperation or conspiracy in order to cheat or deceive others.
Example:
