You must have honesty, responsibility and fairness in your studies and acknowledge the work of others by giving credit where you have used other’s work.
Academic integrity means that ATU staff, in their teaching and students, in their learning, are expected to treat others with respect - fairly and honestly at all times. Abusing, being deceitful or stealing work from others is not acceptable.
Academic integrity is important because it is the principal merit on which the colleges' learning, teaching and research accomplishments are fostered.
Academic Integrity is about conducting research, writing, and teaching with integrity and honesty.
As part of the Learning and Innovation Skills (LIS) module all first year students engage with the three sections of this online course. The content support students as they settle into college and will guide them through what is often unfamiliar territory both academically, socially and personally. The Academic Success programme will help focus on your goals and motivations, while also teaching new, vital skills for succeeding in higher education and enabling students to participate effectively in college.
ATU aim to foster and maintain a culture of honesty and academic integrity.
