Academic Integrity at UBC

Promoting academic integrity in the UBC community.

UBC values an educative approach to academic integrity that seeks to support through education and deepen awareness for students and instructors, as well as an approach to academic misconduct that is fair and effective.

Academic integrity is both a value and a set of skills that must be learned and refined over time. Instructors have a responsibility to set clear expectations around academic integrity in their courses, to model honest behaviour as teachers and scholars and to make space for students to develop their understanding of academic integrity. Students should aspire to meet these expectations in their coursework, contribute to their own learning and seek support when they have questions.
