Academic Integrity Library Guide: Welcome

The International Centre for Academic Integrity identifies six core values to help guide your work, ensuring that it is fair, honest and received in good faith. These core values (honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility, and courage) shape the way we learn, create, and engage with others. They provide an important foundation for the learning you will do and for the fair assessment of the work you produce.

Our Learning Charter

While every college and discipline contributes to the academic community differently, they all share the same set of values for academic integrity. These values are echoed in our Learning Charter and include

• Being able to locate, understand, evaluate and use information effectively, ethically, legally, and with cultural appropriateness.
• Developing and applying appropriate skills of research, inquiry, and knowledge creation and translation.
• Embracing responsibilities to oneself and others in ways that are authentic and meaningful.

By completing the learning activities in each module, you will better understand your responsibilities in academic work, your rights if suspected of misconduct, the procedures that support fairness, and the services available to help you succeed.

Modules in This Series

We acknowledge that the Saskatoon campus of the University of Saskatchewan is on Treaty Six Territory and the Homeland of the Métis. We pay our respect to the First Nation and Métis ancestors of this place and reaffirm our relationship with one another. We recognize that some may be completing this coursework from other traditional Indigenous lands and ask that you take a moment to make your own Land Acknowledgement to the peoples of those lands. In doing so, we are actively participating in reconciliation as we navigate our time, learning and supporting each other .
