Your academic integrity guide

You might be at a point in the semester where you’re juggling a lot of different assignments at once. We get it! The stress of completing assignments on time, maintaining a GPA and passing a class can be overwhelming. Reach out to your professor, teaching assistant (TA) or advisor to share that you need help, and remember that ASU offers resources to support your mental health and wellness.

The last thing we want is for you to think about taking shortcuts that will lead you to commit an act of academic dishonesty. These categories are considered academic dishonesty:

  • Cheating on an academic evaluation or assignment.
  • Plagiarizing.
  • Academic deceit, such as fabricating data or information.
  • Aiding academic integrity policy violations and inappropriately collaborating.
  • Falsifying academic records.

At ASU academic dishonesty can result in grade penalties up to disqualification and dismissal. The ASU community is here to help you stay informed and provide resources to avoid these violations. Here are important elements of Sun Devil integrity: academic integrity guide.

When you’re feeling stressed, let ASU’s faculty and staff help. Don’t risk everything you’ve already accomplished academically. Remember the integrity tips and join fellow Sun Devils in taking ASU’s Honor Code pledge to uphold the values, principles, and ethics of academic integrity.
