9. Academic Integrity

In order to maintain a healthy academic environment based on sincerity and intellectual honesty, any form of dishonesty, including plagiarism and cheating, will strictly not be tolerated under any circumstances. It is crucial that all pieces of work that are handed in for assessment purposes genuinely reflect the individual student's own efforts, ideas, and understanding - they must be the original creations of the student himself or herself. If any student choice to transgress against this policy advocating for academic integrity, be it knowingly or unintentionally, it will be viewed seriously. As a consequence, strict disciplinary action will be taken against the offender in accordance to the severity of the violation.
