Working together to promote the value of academic integrity

Abstract

"Academic integrity is a fairly new concept for some of our students. Students come to CEGEPs and colleges from diverse backgrounds and high schools. As such, they have learned about academic integrity in different ways. Over the years, our experience has shown that many students are anxious about some of the new responsibilities that they face in higher education. One of the most important things that we can do for them is to demystify academic integrity, and to give all of our students an equal opportunity to build the skills that they need in order to succeed in higher education. This includes how to conduct themselves in relation to academic integrity. Many years ago, we recognized that, at Marianopolis, we need to do this through college-wide programming. This macro-level approach ensures that students hear messages about academic integrity from many different voices and see various perspectives on the issue during their time at the college." -- AQPC
