Academic Integrity Policy
Academic integrity means that all work a student submits is created by that student and is their own original work. This means that:
This means that:
- The ideas and writing of others are properly cited using course specific standards including images used.
- Students submit their own work for tests and assignments without unauthorized assistance such as passing another person or student’s work off as their own.
- Students do not provide unauthorized assistance to others including sharing their work with others (including on assignment-sharing websites).
- Students in World Language courses interpret and produce written and spoken language without the assistance of online or print tools or other people unless expressly allowed by the online instructor.
- Students must produce work individually. Â Group submissions are not permitted unless explicitly directed by the instructor.
Why is academic integrity important?
- Michigan Virtual cannot recommend that students earn credit for learning material for which they have not demonstrated mastery.
- Completing your own work allows for personal growth and development needed for future opportunities.
- Students may be violating the law.
Each Student shall be expected to:
- Abide by national, state, and local laws, as well as the Michigan Virtual policies.
- Abide by local school policies as they may also be taken into consideration.
- Respect the person, property, including intellectual property, and civil rights of others.
