Academic integrity
Academic integrity embodies the principles of honesty, respect and fairness. All members of UVic’s academic community are expected to uphold these values in our learning, teaching and research. For example, you practice academic integrity when you ensure that all work you submit is your own, original work.
UVic Libraries aligns with UVic’s institutional policies for academic integrity. We:
- support academic integrity practices
- strive to model these practices
- provide information and advice to support your pursuit of academic integrity
We’re here to help. Check out our guides, take a workshop or ask us a question.
