Prevention

In your capacity as an instructor, you play a crucial role in inducting students into an ethical and scholarly community.  It can sometimes feel overwhelming to uphold the values of academic integrity: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility, and courage.

  • Inform students that if they find themselves struggling with health challenges that is a useful resource. Any medical absence would ideally be documented with the Certificate of Illness for Academic Concessions (form for undergraduate students).
